Because of my muck up last week, I'm extra careful when it comes to the correct settings.

Display scenes for the box and app:

Because we weren't able to get the prints for our packages until the day before the presentation, that was the only time I could work on that part for the motion graphics, took a while to photograph and cut out the images within photoshop to place in the video.

My motion graphics skills were very minimal when I started doing it for this project two weeks ago. But for the past two weeks, I have really learned a lot and enjoyed it. It's cool making an illustration come to life. I'm considering really sharpening my after effects skills during the break and will consider using it for my major project. 

Fixing up the timing between scenes and matching up the audio: My laptop couldn't handle After effects and Illustrator so I've been using the Massey Computers...I'm not used to Macs eeek. We decided to stay late so we could send everything together.

Day of the presentation: 

Ready for bed to be honest. I have really enjoyed this paper and the group I was working with. I have learned a lot that I can take with me for next year, but in the meantime, I just want to sleep and eat tacos.
