14/5/14 - Minor details

After large amounts of rendering we managed to get a product ready to go.
Unfortunately we showed a dated version of our product at the presentation as for some reason we made the same mistake we did last time and used Adams harddive? I can't really throw blame around as it was part my fault I didn't speak out... then again no one did either. Either way I know that we have a product ready to hand in and it'll be polished clean.

My faith in this project has never faltered to negative levels as it has with 80% of the class. But in the end we all persevered to the end. Our group has felt the brunt of stress and on occasion, some tension had been released through fierce verbal exchange. Our vision of the project has always been different from one another. My vision was that the idea we had been given was essentially show casing the cleaning crew cleaning the mess of the heroes and saviours that came through before them. A battered ship floating adrift in space after a number of unfortunate events. Rather than show these unfortunate events we're showing the aftermath with a twist ending that it was all in his imagination. At first I was sketchy on this however I was happy with the work I had done for this project and all in all I had done something that was the moral from the beginning. I learned. I learned more about each other than I did about the project itself. Sure I did learn a thing or two more about After Effects but more importantly I learned about what it took to be in a team that had to work on a project we didn't necessarily had a choice to do. None-the-less, it proves how we try and try to mould this idea into our own vision only for it to collide with someone else's. Some positive factors about this was we always had a voting system when a wild idea got put on the table, we compromised whenever we have a conflict of interest and we held meetings whenever a vote didn't cut it.

The others are probably having a go at each other. "Liam doesn't do things on time" "Blake does things very basic" "Ben keeps throwing ridiculous ideas in" "Adam complains too much" But it's these differences that defines how... different we are and how this difference effects the way we work as a team. It's understanding everyone's coping mechanisms and work ethics which is the key to any team exercise.

I'm proud of the work I have done to contribute to this and I hope to be able to do it again in the near future.
