Good job in todays mid-crit group!
If our goal is to create a new "dream library" with a futuristic touch an idea of our presentation is:
To start by making a animation where the film explains what we aim to do and try to explain a typical situation. For example: a group of kids who stand and talk when suddenly a new guy enters who convinces the group of going to the library (which doesn't happen in any school today). There they are met by lots of other children in an awesome location and setting, they then gets welcomed and shown around by our siri-librarian who will maximize their fun. It is pretty easy to create and will appear really advanced, it's posible to do on "www.goanimate.com", and i've used tools like this before so it will be no problems. When that is done, I think we should describe what we have created (maybe if we film a couple of kids when they have fun in a room we've designed for the day). After that part we have shown what we want and the setting, last part is the tools. To actually design and program finished apps is hard, so i suggest that we decide what kind of techniques we want and try to visualize that in a good maner.
Obviously it's still early to make our final decisions about our presentation now, but it good that we start talking about it, and what we want to do. Finally we need to be able to answer the question we couldn't today What will make the students read?
Adam, I missed your post earlier :(
ReplyDeleteYour idea is amazing, but I am not aware of the fact that this sort of animation is easy to create, I would say it takes weeks of full-time job!
So, your (very good!) plan is:
1) the illustrative animation
2) kids in the room with design-prototype
3) the app prototype
I know that I can do: I can make the technical & visual description of the app.
Of course, the animation plan sounds very interesting, but can we Really handle it?
Let's discuss details of all 3 points, hope we'll have some ideas!
Something like a possible script... is this really possible??
ReplyDelete1 Scene
wall with "Library" written on it + door. Kids are standing behind, moving a little, kind of waiting/bored (maybe with "..." at their heads).
2 Scene
New kid appearing, happy face, "c'mon!" - moving inside the library, others are following (maybe with "?" at their heads)
3 Scene
Inside the Library: a cool table, a couple of cool chairs, cool walls and window (but how to make it all look "cool"???), children are moving around, going to some things that look like iPad; take it ( kinda exciting, a gadget! (maybe with "=)" at their heads)), and after that the 'shoot' is moving to a big view of a gadget.
After that we move to the actual app presentation...
