The overall diagram explained the whole operation of Titanic's engine room.

Process

Overall choreography of Titanic operating system

- The orange highlight are all the dynamic actors that operate the entire system of Titanic.

- The navy blue line in the axon show the communicating system in the ship, how each part of the ship can communicate with each other.

- The diagram at the top corner show the overall operation of the steam engine.

Animation shows the overall choreography, this will be in the beginning part of my real animation, before I going zoom in to each room.

Right now, I am still in the process of learning Bongo and after effect. I still can't figure out how to animate the reciprocating engine yet. So this is just an try out animation.

Week 2

Here is my first draft diagram that I attempt to show the overall choreography of the machines in Titanic's engine room.

The complex choreography of the Titanic is not only about the operation of the machines, but also the communication system between people.

Week 1

week 1 (15/1/2013)

Mining excavator

Bagger 288  the world largest land vehicle. It is now owned and operated at the Garzweiler mine in Germany.

After that I study on the entire operation system of opencast mine to see how each machines work together in a choreograph system.

After I have been researching more on the whole operation network of opencast mining system, I found out that the physical movement is not very drastic, and the whole system did not involve much interactions with other machines or humans as I thought it might. As you can see from the clip that the physical movement is not very drastic, mostly simple movement.

So I tried to research other systems that involved more participants in network including machines, people and space. i become very much interested in the network and choreography within the stream engine room of the Titanic ship.  The machines may not move with great complexity,but the involvement of many different machines along with the need for human participants moving around the spaces in the boat engine room make the whole network much more complex and interesting
