My team for the 4th quarter project called ourselves 'Puppy Productions' with our product 'Bow-Wow' which was a device installed a treat that when consumed by your dog would allow transmissions to reach your phone sending you in texts what your dog is thinking. Our slogan was, 'When your having a ruff day, your dog will know just what to say'.
We started with making our video which took us a while to edit, but overall turned out pretty well. We ended up having to re-edit it in oder to put our animation in it during the 'intermission'. Afterwards we went to Mrs. Smith's room too do our graphic design, which was my favorite part of the doing the project. Since I am in the robotics graphic design I picked up some ideas from there to use on our logo and such when bringing it to life. When it came to animation I was in charge of making the website and my teammates were to be making the rest of the project, however there was a confusion with the 3-D animation and we were not able to get it done.
I learned a lot about DreamWeaver when I was making the website. Choosing the font and linking everything together was very fun and I enjoyed it. When it came to collaboration I leaned it's important to find a way to motivate your team members. This whole project relied on our ability to work together effectively and looking back on it we could have done a much better job at that.
If I had to this over again I would finish the 3-D animation and figure out the 2-D animation to make it better, since I don't really liked how it came out. Also i think I'd collaborate a lot better with my teammates since they're as important to this project as I am. The video could also use more work because the tapes we the dogs we took would be great inside of the video. They were not originally used because we lost them somewhere in the files. Also with the website, I would've created another panel in order to show off the animations and graphics.
I'd keep the designs we used in Graphics because I think we did an excellent job with coming up with the color scheme and using it effectively in all of our graphic designs. I especially liked the idea that we used in the ad and in the product logo. I'd also keep the original animation because of how I ended up using it into video along with the blooper that was shown in the end.
The presentation was definitely more a less of a success depending on how you see it. Our speaking parts, where we talked more about the product we did a well job on along with the presentation of the video, however I don't think everyone noticed our animation in the 'intermission part' since it was small for whatever reason. If I had to do it differently I'd be more specific when pointing out the animation and have put in more graphics so they could've been seen. Also it would be better to have talked about what each team member had done to create this.
In all, even though my team did do a reasonably well job i believe we could've done much better and I plan using the experiences of the collaborations done here in future projects in e-Communication.
