Caleb Jones ~ Strikingly Simple
Alexander Calder was a great kinetic artist who produced some of the most dynamic and yet simple pieces of his time. With simple yet striking geometry and bright colors he gave a great sense of motion and energy in his mobiles and sculptures yet still maintained a since of delicacy and balance. I will work from these foundations to produce dynamic and graceful digital models that the user can and sometimes must interact with in the environment.
No commentsLen lye – hamish
Len Lye was a great mover. He has always been moving boundary’s no matter the media, film, paintings, and sculpture even after his death his work is still being pushed further. His dream of massive scale is what I want to accomplish inside the interactive environment. He has amazingly animate and organic movement is what I want to active.

My precedent is Len lye, His works was represent the power of motion and those movement is quite attractive that looks like it gave a new life for objects. My intent is want to use that kind of movement to create a object which can help the player transport to the other space.

No commentsWasted Potential Energy : : : Chris’s design intent
I was interested in the work of Len Lye for the idea of kinetic potential energy stored in springs/bent metals etc. The idea of havig an inert object that doesn’t immediately show the stored energy inside, but when set off can unleash a powerful force. This trnslates well with the physical world of half-life 2. I intend to make some contraption with high elastic potential energy that when activated wil propell an object high into the sky.

Alexsander calder.
caulder mobiles are delicate and balanced and made from colorful sheet-metal shapes. Calder’s kinetic sculptures look weightless and effortless,when suspended from thin wires hovering in midair. Characteristic of Calder’s work are galaxies, and atomic particles he also uses colourful circles. Using his ideas of the galaxies and of atomic particles i have made a mobile that uses his ideas of weight distribution and coulour.
team ralph
the ralph team really bonded throughout the project and jelled to gether to make a good movie. one of my models was use as the lifter on the bridge. the life like mobile is atached to the side of the bridge and balloons are shot on to it so that the bridge can raise in a mobile fashion
