For my Rube Goldberg project I decided to create a dynamic machine that featured some differences in height and a LOT of falling. There's no particular theme for the machine, but I did try to create an aesthetic color palette with each of the objects. Below is a picture of my sketch/ storyboard for my animation (I worked on the see-saw like structure for about 3 days until I gave up and used the cone to push the ball into the slide instead)
Below are pictures of 5 objects that I used in my animation, with red circles highlighting each of them as follows: Spheres (the primary catalysts to each event in the scene) a cone (to push the sphere into a tube), a slide ( a cylinder extruded around a curve), Gears, and two buckets/ bowls.
Here's the link to the final product! Thank You!
