So all of the previous posts were written in one go. So why did I decide to document my process just now?
Well, because I just saw this clip by Bernadett Banner, a costume historian whose video blog I found recently and which very much suits my personality. Yes, historical dressmaking and programming machines to cut metal into pieces that will become a semi-autonomous robot. This is 2019, and I don’t need to limit myself.
Anyways, back to the video I saw. Here it is:
I mean, just listen to Cathy Hay’s voice. Did you ever hear a voice so steeped in passion? And it ends with the wonderful quote “Oh, and go do something impossible today”. Yes Bernadette. I will.
Or rather, even if I now realize that this robot project of mine is way harder than I had planned and is going to take a year or two (Or more if I decide to add cameras and teach it to hunt in the night), it is nothing compared to that dress. But impossible was never more than a shade of gray.
