develop a plan for dissemination of your final project prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory
These wings have been a project that I have wanted to undertake for a long time. I made a rough version for the last comicon and decided then that I would wanted them to be anamatronic. For the full effect they have to be moving the entire time. I need to make multible versions of them to test out several things that I want to tinker with. Like WiFi movement. LED programming to fit a song or choreographed movements. Many charaters have wings that people like to cosplay as so I will in the end make several versions of them.
I make Cosplay costumes and compete in competitions, like at Comicons. Lately my sister has been my model and I have been making and designing costumes for her needs. She is in a wheelchair partially so everything is done with that in mind and traveling abroad to compete. I have to work around her needs so everything needs to be light and easy to put on and take off. I wanted her to be able to interchange out the wings so that she could have super big wings for the stage performance and smaller wings to wear for the cons.
I want the wings to be bigger and have programming for the lights. I also want to be able to control the wings and the lights from my phone. The ability to preprogram a series would be great since the stage performance always includes a dance, skit or something like that, that is pre rehersed. I want to get bigger servos and even have 4 of them working so the wings can be even bigger. This has loads of possibilites and time will show what direction we take it in.
#Blink Video size started at 139 MB Using the ffmpeg cheat sheet that can be found here https://academy.cba.mit.edu/classes/computer_design/video.html I used ffmpeg with the command: ffmpeg -i My_Movie.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -crf 37 -preset medium -vf scale=-2:1080 -acodec libmp3lame -q:a 4 -ar 48000 -ac 2 presentation.mp4 Using this command I was able to compress the video size down to 8.87 MB

This whole project was fun to work on. Along the way I learned so many things that I didnt expect. Its hard to figure out the balance of structurally stable and light. Also I will have to continue to figure out how to cover them without warping. I have ordered several materials to try out. I want the entire thing to be controlled by my phone so that there is no need to push buttons on the back. That means I can cover the PCB board completely and there will be no issue of fabric snagging on it. Molding the backplate to the back will be good too.
