The Work This Week:
The work this week consisted of constructing our animatic/ad pitch video for our client. We also had ETC Festival on Wednesday, where we got to present what we made to many guests in the building.
Animatic Video:
We developed the animatic to be a pitch that our client can use to present to vendors and other people interested in our concept. Therefore, we developed it thinking of the idea “what will you be able to do with this concept” rather than “here is what we did.”
In presenting the video to our client, they were impressed by how clear and succinct it was. They just suggested on brushing up a couple of areas to make sure that certain ideas (i.e. displaying user information; how are we going to allow for customizable backdrops) come across visually.
We also presented them a new copy of our documentation, which we will continue to update over the weekend before our final handoff after finals next week.
ETC Festival:
We got to present our work at ETC Festival, which included us decorating our room a little bit:
Guests who participated in the experience were very supportive of the concept. They understood that prospective students will be very interested in this idea, as it not only gives them something to do while they are waiting for tours to start but will indeed make them more interested in CMU. Consistent feedback we got was to make the questions more specific, which will be included in our Customization section of the documentation.
Going Forward:
We have our Finals Presentation to the ETC on Tuesday of next week, and we will finish our semester with our final handoff to our client on Thursday. We’re looking forward to completing everything as strongly as we can.
