Thankfully, I was in the same group as June, Jessica, Shazreen, Kanis and Yasmin, who were extremely cooperative and could work together well as a team without issues. We took a bus to Sunway together asn bought supplies from Popular's. We had to get Styrofoam boards as a support for the cutouts, and it took all of us to get 11 boards and other miscellaneous materials back to campus.
Figuring out how to attach mahjong paper with Styrofoam board.
We figured out mahjong paper did not go well with Styrofoam. It kept on peeling off and was not sticky at all. We had to use double tape instead and I can declare with confidence that we used at least 10 rolls for this entire project.
Tracing our small scale drawings onto HUGE paper.
We estimated 5 feet and a half as average height for a normal person. It was quite difficult estimating how long our character's torso and legs should be, since we were limited to a certain height and we still had to make sure they are proportionate.
Yasmin planning the design of her cutouts. She is doing a feather girl for her cutout, which needs rather intricate designs for the feather and pattern for her dress.
Mineral water boxes collected from 7 Eleven, which staff was generous enough to give us enough for our structure.
Spare pieces of cardboard for extra back support. This was generously donated by June, who thankfully knows how to drive independently and whose house seemed to have many materials we need. She also brought extra mahjong paper too!
Serious stuff aside, we thought of having some fun :P
We just only got started on the basic steps, and it is still a long way to go before completion. It will take us a lot of time and effort to create cutouts equal to or even better than our mockups.
