March 3 Class Critique

Regarding the in-class critiques on March 3rd, The Fed team feels collectively that we could have presented better than we did. In fact, our presentation was unprofessional and gave the perception that we are disorganized and disconnected. The two different storyboards presented might as well have been for different projects because one would never assume that they were for one project. We did not have "the look" for our animation ready nor icons to show the class. Extra time was needed to get the actual storyboard .mov file ready to show the class.  I was personally appalled  by our showing. As project manager, it falls on me for the miscommunications during the previous week, the lack of product and the presentation that fell apart. This was not our intent for this important day.

Today, we talked over our crit and regrouped. I will be posting our updated schedule shortly. We know that we have much work before us. Our expectations are as high as they were when we started this project. We are dedicated to providing a polished and solid piece for our client on behalf of ourselves and the University.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Hey team,
I posted the production schedule we created and agreed upon at our weekly meeting. We do have some lee-way as far as due dates to make room for various last minute things. Also, icon research and sketches are due tomorrow, Tues. See you in class!

Rescheduled Call with Federal Reserve

Our phone call this week had been rescheduled for Thursday, Feb 17th at 11 a.m. We should have 4 out of 5 audio tapes by that point. We won't get the fifth until the end of the month so we'll have to get moving on what we have. I'll be posting a schedule shortly of what needs to happen and when.
Thanks!

Skype call on Thursday

Hey guys,
We are having a Skype call with Todd on Thursday at 11 am. Because we also have presentations, this may just turn into a one on one phone call. Please let me know any concerns you have regarding what we need from Todd so that we can address them at that point. I would like to have solid graphics this week so we can start storyboarding right away. I also forwarded another script from Todd to your BGSU email account.
Thanks!
