Technical Theatre V
Heart Rate Monitor - NCTC Prop (Removed from final show)
For this prop we were in need of a heart rate monitor to accompany the medical set. I decided that since a real heart rate monitor generates light it would be more realistic to create one from a tablet. I sketched up the design for the monitor, taking durability and strength into mind. The next step was implementing the design. I ran into a small flaw with the design, the pipe was weak and would bend when it was being moved. To combat this i used gorilla glue to secure the pipe into a flush hole at the bottom of the base. Attaching the tablet was easy, I secured the tablet to a small strip of wood screwed into the PVC pipe.

Final result
Medical Equiptment/Boat - NCTC Prop #M100 - Aplha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta
The biggest prop for the NCTC show is the medical carts that come together to create a boat. Due to the fact that this prop is not only long, but expensive, I created a digital model of the prop before starting construction.

This was the first rendering of the boat/boxes.
Final Design
The final design features larger boxes and fever boxes. This more accurately reflects a hospital bed.
Boxes Set To Boat
The boxes were arranged and set up to be a yellow boat in this scene.
