Week 17_Application and Implication

FILM SHAKER, the Final project.

Project Scope

what will it do? Film shaker is a device that make easy as hell to develop colour and bw films.
Film shaker is a really romantic project for the people how think Film Photography isn't dead cause of digital but exactly the opposite: thanks to the digital fabrication all of us can approach olds art and method in a complete new way, making them much more easy to afford, understand and learn.

who's done what beforehand? Lot of people still believe in film and analogue photography in general.
Compagnia Imago is a collective based in south Italy tha work an this; other to quote are FilmsNotDead and Lomography, rispectively based in London and Vienna.
Still no one produced something like I want to, there's only one company that sells a kind of product I' developing and it's called Paterson Photographic (I was not able to find them website).

Project Plan

Bill of Materials:

3d printed tank
- 3d printed opaque black parts (approx 10meters filament)

- power supply

The total cost never ever exceed 50€.

what processes will be used?
To reproduce the all devices you will use some digifab techniques as 3dPrinting, Lasercutting and Pcb production.
I would like also to design a composite material case to carry on the devices.

what tasks need to be completed?
I really need to work on the pakcage of the shaker, I still didn't implemented the electronics with the tank and I still donno how to present the idea to potential sponsor.
