# 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[https://academy.cba.mit.edu/classes/composites/index.html](https://academy.cba.mit.edu/classes/composites/index.html) In there I saw some of the methods and some tips. After I went looking if Neil had a full lesson and luckily he had one from 2016. So I watched that and learned a lot from there.

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. |
