Group Project Blog Post

Our Company name was S.S.D which stands for science,style and design. We agreed on the name after coming up with the idea for Multibandz. The product our company was selling was Multibandz, a headband that could change color and patterns to match your clothing. After coming up our slogan we decided the headband should have a variety of functions in order to market the product to everyone. We decided the headband should prevent odors caused by sweat and have the headband be made of a material that would keep someone cool while exercising. With the material and functions of the product we could market Multibandz everyone and our slogan, "Icy...so you'll look fresh" made more sense. We started by creating several different ideas including a "chill pill" and a headband that would change color to match your mood.

During this group project I learned how to add visual effects to videos including lighting, sound and how to move or resize a video clip. I also learned that when working with a group to be less controlling but to be more assertive and pushy when the group becomes complexly sidetracked. By not being assertive my group allowed me to do more of the writing and creative aspect of the project. By being given almost complete control over the group project and writing aspect into the idea the group didn't feel the need to put anymore effort into the project because the project was mostly complete.

 Next time I would take the project less seriously and strongly suggest the other members of the group share their ideas and openly disagree with each other. Next time we would come up and agree with a unanimously agreed date to practice our presentation. I would also communicate with the group. That way if anyone disagrees with an idea they can say it instead of ignoring the idea or silencing everyone else ideas.

I liked writing made up information on the team members, the company and the project. Next time I would most likely continue the writing aspect of the process.

We didn't practice our presentation, we improvised our presentation using the wrong website without 75% of the information about our product and company that we needed for our presentation. I don't believe it was a success. Next time I will make sure we were going to present the right documents. I would also practice and communicate with my team come in before or after school to practice our presentation.

Professional Article Review

Write a summary of the article, identifying the three key points. A new software makes animation easier through the use of MoCurves. MoCurves allow multiple parts of a model to be accelerated and decelerated in real time. Discuss the author’s argument. The author has come to the conclusion that MoCurves will eventually replace key frames and become the standard for most animation studios. Due to the unique function of MoCurves, which can transform multiple motion cycles at once unlike key frames which, despite their accuracy, can only transform motion cycles separately. What information/evidence and sources does he/she use to support that argument? The author provides a video explaining how key frames work and how MoCurves are superior to them. They also provide a brief summary of a study performed with 5 students without any experience with animation software to prove the superiority of MoCurves over key frames. What are the article’s/author’s stre...

My Personality Type

ISTP Personality Type In e9 we took multiple versions of the Myers-Briggs personality test. In all versions of the test that I had taken I was an ISTP. An ISTP is someone who is observant and has an understanding of mechanics. ISTP types are also good at responding to emergencies and are attentive to detail and responsive to the world around them. A famous person who shares my personality type is Stanley Kubrick, a filmmaker. Does it match? I don't really think the ISTP matches my personality. I'm not very observant of the world around me. While I am reserved I am also withdrawn. I'm also not adaptable or independent. Often I rely on other people. During emergencies I tend to panic rather than keep my cool and deal with it. I don't think my personality type explains why I am the way I am or why I gravitate toward certain activities over others. Does my personality type explain aspects of myself? My personality type does explain why I've preferred to work ...

ABC Sequence

The assignment was to create a video focusing on the sequence of a video. The project required multiple shots to make any jump cuts less noticeable. We began the project by making a storyboard. The storyboard took a few attempts because we had to add pictures and redraw the story board. Next we checked out the necessary equipment and began filming. Filming the video took many attempts because there were many teachers and other students constantly walking by during the video. We also had to improvise some of the shots taken due to complications. Complications such as the front doors of the school having an alarm system that goes off if they're propped open for too long. Finally after taking all the necessary shots my partner and I downloaded our videos and began the process of editing our videos. I learned that taking the same shot over and over from different angles can greatly improve a video. The removal of jump cuts can also improve a video by making the progression of a video...
