Day 29

Today was the final presentation! And boy was i looking forward to it. But happiness is short lived.
Ok so everything was going well until we had to burn it into the tape and for some strange reason it couldn't be burnt into the tape. We think that the settings could have been wrong or something. So thanks to Lionel, god knows what he did but we eventually had a tape to show.
So watching the other groups present was interesting. Some where not as good as i expected but some surpassed my expectations. I guess from this we can understand and take note of the people that we can work with or can't work with so this project could allow us to take note of those whom we just can't work with. I guess i am very lucky to have group members whom i can work with very well. I really really adore my group and i hope we can all work together again.
I can tell that some groups had conflicts along the way, conflicts ranging big and small. To the minor to the major. But luckily for my group we didn't really have any conflicts.
Honestly i feel that our video came in 2nd out of all the video. The unanimous vote for first place would obviously go to Raj's group. Because their spiffy graphics and exaggerated music gives the atmosphere of epic-ness which that wanted. However, i thought their content lagged in the sense that i would have expected better. But the epic-ness of the video makes up for the lack of content. So kudos to them.
The first group to present really gave my a very Blair Witch feel in the beginning. They had awesome footage but it was all sped up and choppy so it made it look confusing and very headache-y.
I also felt that it was abit wrong for those groups who have members previously for ITE, to show their ITE work as we do not learn that in the first year. And if it is screened at the open house then the newbies would have unreal expectations of what the school would teach. Since the extent of our 3d animation is a bouncing ball and a cone leg, while for 2d, its just very basic flash although it is easier to play around and learn flash rather than with Maya. But anyway, thats just my views on it.

So that was the presentation, which i enjoyed immensely.
