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.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi

Multiplane Animation

Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim
