Ryan's Blog: 4th Quarter Reflection

Smart Lens & Challenges

Smart Lens was apart of a project that was about making a product then marketing and selling the product. The project took the entirety of fourth quarter. Some challenges we faced is finishing the rotations work in time. We learned communication, collaboration, project management, and teamwork. Many people thought it was based off the google glass, my answer to that is yes it was until it got better. We changed the Smart Lens to more business and gaming related than for everyone. Fourth quarter was an okay experience my group was an amazing group and i'm glad to be apart of their team.

Time Usage

I created the glasses model, part of the website, and a commercial but it wasn't acceptable by my group members. When I finished my work early I asked what else I could do but that rarely happened because I usually finished my work at the last day or the day before the last day. During the Video rotation we went to the green screen room to shoot some videos after school but that was basically it for after school.

Areas of Strength

Strengths for me during the project was modeling the glasses and the video production were I think were my strengths.

Areas of Improvement

Bad Actor in the morning was a HUGE negative thing about the whole commercial but other than that it was pretty good.

Summary

I loved the video portion of this quarter and editing together the commercial. I wouldn't change much because I think we did pretty well for our project. I've learned how to use adobe illustrator, dreamweaver, premiere, and finally sketchup. Goal for next year is to perfect my projects more so people see me as who I am rather than who I want to be. Nothing much for final thoughts but the project was really enjoyable and my group members were also pretty nice and cool.
