# Wildcard week - Compositing

## Group assignment
For this week we started out on compositing. First I didn't really know what it was and a bit confused. But through the day I started picking up more and more and starting to find it more fun.

In the morning I didn't know anything about compositing aside from Neil's lecture from yesterday. So I started clicking links on the compositing page.

So for the group assignment we first started out cleaning the table and covering it in plastic because we where going to be working with epoxy

After that I started cutting up some fabrics to make some coupons. I chose to do 3 layers everywhere because Neil recommended that in his video lecture. Since the top and bottom of the coupon are really what is making it able to bend and go back.

After a lunch break we started mixing the epoxy and pouring over the coupons layer by layer.

We used little coffee sticks to spread the epoxy on the fabrics.

After that we put it in the chamber

And now we wait for 24 hours till it is fully hardened

### The result

I expected the result to be stiff and more compact like in Neil's compositing lecture from 2016 but then I probably would've needed to use the vacuum bag.
