What was the scope of your project?
The scope of my product is fun, entertaining, and informational because our goal is to show what the owners pet is feeling at all times when wearing our collar. Our product is also not only for dog owners it can be used for any pet, even fish!What was your process?
Pre-production- When we started this project our group wanted to make something that is fun and can be used everyday by pet owners. our original thought was to make a dog collar that could track your dog in case it ran away but it didm't seem original enough or fun enough for this project, so we changed our idea to something more fun.Production- We started in the animation strand and while we were in there I worked on the package seen above. We wanted to go for something colorful and fun, just like our product. When we went to the Graphic Design strand I took on the role of making the coupon and, again, I wanted it to be colorful and fun. So, I decided to make it a rainbow background and then a cute dog to the side since our product is called Pup-E-Motion after all. Me and Julia didn't really have any time to work on the website until almost the very end of the project. So, we stayed after school one day and put in all of the content so it would be perfect for when we presented. When we got to the video strand we were a little stuck because we didn't really know how to make a commercial for a dog collar school. Our fist idea was to have Julia be the dog and interview her as a dog and then have different situations happen to make the collar change color. But, we decided to change that to her just acting like a dog in different situations and then an interview of me saying that it has changed my life and my dogs life too.
Post-production- Once we were all done with putting all our final touches on the website, commercial, and animation we were all relieved and just wanted to be done with the project because it was just so much to do and it took a lot of hard work to put it all together.
Technical/Professionally
In animation we used SketchUp to make the product, package, 3D-text, and the background scenery. I was in charge of making the package, Julia was in charge of making 3D-text, Blake made the actual product, and then Ethan made the background scenery. In Graphic Design we used photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver to make our logo, word mark, website, header, ad, and coupon. Me and Julia worked on the website while Ethan made the logo, Blake made the ad, I made the coupon, and the Julia made the word mark. When we got to video we used Final Cut Pro to edit our commercial and while in there I was the director of the video and Julia was the actor.
The hardest strands to meet the deadlines were Graphic Design and Video because there was so many things we had to make in Graphic Design and then while we were in video we filmed on our block day and then had one day to edit everything together.What would you do the same and different
Next time I would use our time more efficiently and then make up more ideas so we have more options and then the same I would still make the video and coupon.
