This is the video that i have created, It uses photo stills to create a stop motion effect. I source the music from a site called www.newground.com. The filming was done over the course of 4 days and it was edited in 3 days over lapping the filming. This allowed me to capture extra footage if i needed to. Mark was one of the people i spoke to in the FIND stage of the project and felt it would make sese to invite him to be in my video. I also asked a few classmates to fill in for people who were unable to attend the days filming.

Football Fan Display
The Fans Visual Voice
Football Fan Display is a hand-held flexible foam board which is used to digitally display messages of support or criticism to players at live matches. This is done by pressing switches on the back to light up sections on the front to form a number or letter. Groups of fans can communicate with players by using multiple products to spell out messages and thus supplying them with a greater sense of interaction at the venue.
Ross Hubbard says “I was inspired by how emotionally invested fans can get especially fans who travel as a group on a regular basis also including season ticket holders. I feel their opinions speak greater volumes than others and they should have a means to express their opinions to players and managerial staff.”
Coming as a variation on the banners that fans bring to matches to show their support and opinions to all attending at the live match. The aim is to allow fans to keep their voice up-to-date through the fast paced nature of the game. The idea behind this item is for this to be a rental item obtainable from merchandise shops before the match and returned afterwards.
The Football Fan Display combines a electronics with foam, The Zotefoam exterior is made using a CNC milling machine, once these parts have been made the character display graphic on the back is applied using screen printing. Plastic parts are vacuum formed, the front ones are then finished by sand blasting, the back plastic parts are laser cut to produce a more accurate finish.
Ross will be exhibiting his Football Fan Display at the Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art and Design degree show from 22/05/2010 to 30/05/2010 with in the School of Product Design.
He will also be exhibiting at New Designers, at the Business Design Centre in London between 08/07/2010 and 11/07/2010.

Lulu book Foreword
I have been contacting various people from the world of sports, from Fanzines, Psychologists and Clubs and i had very little response and was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply from a Dr Robert Weinberg. He is a sports psychologist from America and now works for a sports company. I asked if it was possible for him to write a piece to go at the start of my lulu book to provide some context.
His Foreword was as follows:-
Winning and losing and performing well and poorly are all part of sport competition. Many factors go into an athlete’s performance but certainly one of them is the audience. There’s been a lot of research on the home field advantage much emanating from the theoretical perspective of Drive Theory. However, empirical research has sometimes supported the benefit of playing at home whereas other research has demonstrated that playing at home might actually be a disadvantage due to the pressure on the home team. Coaches and athletes spend lots of time preparing to play in front of opposing crowds who can get quite unruly. There are lots of factors affecting a team’s play at home or on the road (e.g., travel, playing surface, officials, etc) but most assuredly fans are an important part of the equation. So the more we can learn about the impact of fans on performance, the better off coaches and athletes will be in terms of preparation.

Screen Printing
This is the end result of getting screen printing put on the back of my model, this screen printing is there to help the user understand what how to form letters and numbers with the buttons. I got the company Tay Print on the outskirts of Dundee to do the screen printing.
