Our Final Project in e-Comm

Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is what we had to change the most. Think my fourth quarter work was definitely my best work.

How did I use my Time?

I have used my time in class very wisely. I have use the given time to do my best work for the team. I did everything I was supposed to do and even more because I had some leftover time. Sometimes when I had finished I would get off task and distracted,but my team members would tell me to focus and I would. If I ever got done early I would try and help my team with the website because we struggled the most with that. I came in  few times after school to work on the 3D animation for the project. Wanted to make sure that it was really good and the best work I could do.

Room for Improvment

 I maximised my strengths this quarter by helping a to with the filming process of the commercial. My strength is filming videos and coming up with the ideas. So I made sure I was behind the camera while we were filming the commercial. I need to improve on my video editing skills very badly. I plan on editing more next year and that will definatley help me improve my skills.



Summary

This semester the ting I loved most was my team. They were all really nice and funny and very enjoyable, I am very glad I met them. I would have maybe worked a little harder if I would I feel as if I trued really hard but I did not do my best in all areas. I revived all five of the e-Comm guarantees from this semester. My goal for next year to to become a much better artist. If i was a better artist then this program would become much easier. I am very glad I could participate in this and I am excited for my e-Comm years to come.

I learned so many new things about Animation and I acquired many different skills to go along with my newfound knowledge.  There were many projects this year that I struggled with, actually, I struggled with almost every project we did this year. I think this year was a really great learning opportunity for me. Technology I learned a lot more about the 3D modeling system called Maya. I learned how to sculpt 3D objects, how to give 3D objects skeletons, and I learned how to animate things in Maya. I was not very good at animating in 3D because my computer kept glitching and I was not very good at painting weights. But I still learned how to apply all of the things that I learned to make a swimming fish. The fish that I made had a lot of glitches but it still swims so I count that as a win. This is how I advanced my technology skills this year. Collaboration, Communication, and Leadership This year we only had one group project and that was our stop motion animation projec...

My House This is the first house I made in Sketchup. It was really fun to make, but really hard at the same time. Because you have to draw every single little line. You have to make everything the same height. You have to make sure everything is the right measurement. I liked it a lot though. It was cool to see how much progress I made on my house in such a short amount of time. Although I am still not finished with the house. I didn't get the chance to make the porch it needed but i still like it. This is my house.

Time Management One project that I really had to use time management with was my ghost going through walls project. When we were creating this project I had to leave for Florida and I missed three days of school. I learned how to use my time to my advantage and how to get things done under pressure. I ended up getting this project in on time and I did not completely hate the final product. This is important for the future for when my boss or someone above me wants me to get a certain amount of work done in a short amount of time.  Collaboration and Communication I learned how to effectively communicate my ideas with others and collaborate with a team to create my final video project in animation. In our most recent project I collaborated with my peers to create an animation short film. We worked together to create the concept and we put our heads and ideas together to make this project. We also communicated any problems we were having or scheduling issues with each oth...
