our project was a teleporting backpack that would teleport the user to wherever they wanted, called the tele-pack. our project took us all of the 4th quarter to make with all of the animations, graphics, and commercial. all of these things together used up all of the quarter to make the tele-pack. some challenges that we faced where things like the animations not being long enough or did not look as we oped in the end. for example in the animation their is a big black scene that takes up the entire screen and we could not remove this from the final product, so that was a disappointment. I personally learned that it is harder to work as a group than on your own and this is how life is in the workforce. because sometimes my group did not want to do things my way or fix things that did not-look good n the final product. some feed back that we where given during the final presentation is that you should not be nervous when presenting your product and that we should have removed the black scene in the presentation. some things that we changes when we got our feed back is we all practiced our parts over night and this relived some of the stress that the group was having. my opinion about quarter 4 is that i would have much rather done this on my own because I do not like having to work with other people and do things that they want done.
2. how did you use your time in class this quarter?
3. what are my strengths and an employee or e-comunications student after one year ?
like I said in number 2 I would go home after school and used what I learned in class to see if i could make something better and then go to school and add on to the original. my best strength during this project and e-com was the animations. I don't know why I find this so much fun but I liked using scketchup and making the house animation.
4. what are the areas in need of improvement?
something that I need improvement is on the web design because I had no idea how to even start the website. but luckily noell knew how to do that stuff. so I really need get better at making the websites for a latter class in the future. on the right is a screen shot from the website that noell designed.
5. summary
I loved most about this semester was creating a product and doing a shark tank presentation. I just thought that this was really cool and fun to do as a group and would not mind doing this again. something that I would change or do different was the animation and the commercial because during the animation there is a black scene and I hatted that and still do and in the commercial I had it that mason would fade out of the scene and I thought it looked cool but Kevin would not allow us to have this in a commercial and this has made me mad. overall learning experience is that this is how it will be in real life when I get a job there will be people that i have to work around or even meet their needs to ensure a good work life for everyone. final thoughts is that I liked this final and I don't want to sound like I am nagging on them but I did not like how mason and Kevin where not helping the team (more mason than Kevin) because that left me and noell having to do a little more than the others. I still liked this project even with all the setbacks and mistakes that we have had.
