The Future of 3D-printing Weekly Report w. 50

This week

Video
We have put a lot of energy in video editing since we have a animated video that will be almost 5 minutes long in our presentation. We have written scripts and recorded some voice overs for the video. We are satisfied with the result and are looking forward to show it in the next week!

3Dverkstan
We have also visited 3Dverkstan this week 11/12 and got instructed of how to use a 3D-printer. We also got to borrow one printer that we will use at the presentation, in order to print something live. One problem is that we can only print a really really small object within the presentation time-frame. We are thinking of printing a small part to a bigger object that we can put together in the end. Hopefully it will be appreciated by the audience that’s not very familiar to 3D-printing, and add some extra dynamic to the presentation overall. We are also planning on having some printed objects with us as well, that’s related to our catastrophe scenario in order for the audience to better visualize the possibilities of 3D-printing.

Here we are being instructed by Johan at 3Dverkstan

We are going to print everything..

Presentation
We have prepared full scripts for the members that will present our project and made some pictures to have on a slideshow related to the topics discussed. We will keep some rehearsals in the weekend to make sure the performance will be well prepared.

Recording some voice overs

The Future of Motivation weekly report w. 50

This week we have been working mainly on our video, we shot the biggest part of our footage on Monday and finished with some corrections today.

We wrote an exhaustive script for the voiceover and we had to learn how to use some features on After Effect to make our video more clear and appealing.



At the moment we are recording the voiceover and we are planning to do the biggest part of the editing and final touches tomorrow.
We are quite proud of the current result though we kept this production pretty low budget!



Moreover we started sketching the speech of the presentation according to slides and what is not covered by the voiceover in the video.
Here is the script for our speech that is gonna be presented by Natalia and Matteo, very briefly, essentially and as more exhaustive as possible.

Future of media companies, week 50

During this week we have started to work and finished our movie. We met up at monday and wrote the skript. It was finished quite fast since we already had talked a lot about how the film should play out during the working period and the whole group were on the same page regarding all the deceptions we had to make. We decided to present the project with a documentary containing interviews with people, representatives from different groups belonging to our topic ”the media industry”. 

At Wednesday we started to film. Since our movie is a documentary, it didn't require a big amount of rekvisita. The fact, that we didn't have to spend much time searching rekvisita, actors and facilities gave us more time to make a good movie.

Today (Thursday) we are making the finishing touches to finalizing the movie; clipping, sound editing and additional pictures.

We don't want to reveal to much about or movie, we leave it as a cliffhanger until the presentation next week ;)

Shenergy - the Future of a Sustainable Shared Economy (Week 49)

What we have done

This week we have focused on finishing the report and continue editing the movie for the final presentation. We have played around in the editing programs and looked on YouTube-tutorials to learn how to do create different effects when editing the movie. Except for that, we have written the final manuscript for the voice over that a friend of ours will read. Also, we have started listening through music that we are going to use in the movie. Further we have been working with the images for the report, deciding which ones we want to include and creating some new ones. We have come up with a rough idea about our live presentation which will include some roleplay. We have discussed how to integrate the movie in the presentation. One idea was to cut the movie into two parts for the presentation, one explaining the scenario and the other more informative. The thought behind this is to be able to show one part and then explain the concept further before showing the second part.

We have also been to the proofreading session where we read through some other groups’ reports and we also got feedback on our.

What we will do

Now when the report is done we have planned to focus on the movie and the final presentation. During the weekend and next week we will finish the movie, making the final cuts and adding the last effects. This evening the voice over for the movie will be recorded and hopefully added to the movie during the weekend. We still have to create some illustrations for the movie and also add all the animations that we want to show. Regarding the final presentation we will write a manuscript for the roleplay and divide roles.

Challenges encountered

Editing the movie is far more time consuming than we expected, we realise that we will have to spend days and nights working with this to be able to finish it before next friday.  Since we have not made that many movies before we have realized that we should have done a couple of more shots of some of the scenes. We have a lot of material but one of the scenes we have filmed has some flaws that we missed when recording.

Changes in the project

No major changes have been done in the project more than split the movie as mentioned, into two different parts, one as an introduction and the other one as an information-movie. Since this division will work better with our presentation plans.

The future of Trust and Reputation systems W.49

What we have done

Presentation

The larger focus has been on completing the chapter for the book about trust and reputation systems. We have however completed a script for the movie and decided on how we together can divide the creation of the infomercial. Since we are gonna animate the movie without “real” footage we have decided on color scheme, fonts and practical information so that we can divide the work evenly between the people creating the infomercial. With the script finished we can now begin animations. There is not a lot of time left so full focus and the entire movie-team collaborating together will be of great importance. We will use the program called After Effects to create the projects in smaller parts and then assemble all parts in Adobe Premier. We believe that we in this way can work faster and more efficiently.

Book Report

Since last week a lot of time has been put on finalizing the report, with correcting and proofreading it. It has been an iterative process. We have also added images that we hope can help the reader to understand our vision of the Identity bank along with our vision for the future of trust and reputation systems. We are finished with our chapter of the book which means that the focus now is on the infomercial, the video for our presentation, and the content of the presentation, how we want to present our idea to the audience.

What we will do

Since the deadline of the book was yesterday, the focus is now on the presentation and the creation of the infomercial. Editing the infomercial will take up most of the time at first since this will be the foundation for the presentation of our product Identity Bank. The important part now is to ensure that our vision will be presented in the presentation. Besides that there is not much more for us to do since the course is close to an end.

Challenges encountered

Since all the deadlines are closing by stress is a big factor. It seems that we as a group have worked well together to help each other out which of course have relieved ourselves of the worst pressure. The big challenge of the week was however putting all the pieces together into one final vision. We are however happy with the result and the way we achieved the result.

Changes in the project

There have not been any changes in the project. We have rather made an attempt to specify the end result of the project.

Future of Work and Labour w.48-49

What we have done

These weeks we have worked mostly on the chapter text for the books. We all did research and wrote some part of the text. Then after that was finished we decided ourselves into two groups. On working on finishing the text and another to start with the presentation. For the text we also made som images and Illustrations that showed of our idea and how it could look like.

Pictures of some of the Illustrations:

What we will do

Next week we will have to start making the things we need for the presentation.

Challenges encountered

For this week we haven't had time to meet up with the whole group and discuss some of the things we need to get done and therefore this will be postpone until next week.

Changes in the project 

There has been no changes in the project.

Future of Trust - Trustify w.49

What we have done?

There were several deadline to follow this week, both regarding the article and final presentation. Since we have divided the work within the group and the collaboration between us has worked very good we are happy with our deliverables for the deadlines.

For the article we have finalized the last things such as references and adding expert interview into it, to strengthen our text.

Our movie for the final presentation is almost finished. Nearly all scenes are separated filmed and almost all are edited, which has been done in parallel. We are very satisfied so far with the movie and only some small changes need to be done before the presentation.

What we will do next week?

Next week is the last before the big presentation and our last chance to finish our work. We need to put together the final presentation and decide what to say and by who. Also create a short powerpoint to support our concept, before showing the movie. We have been discussing having some more attributes on stage to make it more realistic, but we are not sure yet.

Challenges encountered?

No challenges.

Changes in the project?

No changes has been made to the project this week.
