Final Evaluation

For this assignment we were learning how to use final cut pro and how to create a stop motion using this software.

Final cut pro is picture editing program which allows you to group together several images and create movie out of it, the movie itself is called a stop motion.

I had several ideas for my final piece, however the one i decided to go with was the task that we did in the studio in groups, i felt that the group initiative in this task was very good and well put together to get a good result.
The editing that has been done is to a good standard in my opinion and the music seems to contrast well with the video, it is quite lively and upbeat and i think the audio emphasizes that very well.

The one problem which i think i encountered in this assignment was lack of ideas, maybe if i had more time then i could get some better photos and maybe a better final piece.
I think another problem would be the lack of research or focus in the assignment, although i was doing the work, i don't think i was showing my full potential throughout the weeks gone by, if i tried a bit harder then maybe again i could get a better end result.
Timing as well was another thing that i would need to correct if i was going to do this again, although i did finish i feel that if i planned and spaced out what i was going to do in a plan for instance then maybe i could be a bit more organised.

Kinect Session

For our session today we were told we would be using Kinect on the xbox 360. The session was made to give us an idea of the possibilities that this technology can give to other occupations.
Our kinetic movement can move the characters on the screen in a very fluid motion.
 Although this was a very active lesson it was trying to give us that idea, we played on a variety of games to see the potential of the kinect software.


Kinect adventures was the one of the pilot games that came out on kinect, this was to give the consumers an idea of how the technology works, you can see by the games that it isn't just for adults, the possibilities can be endless, it could be used in hospitals, or schools to boost learning within the classroom.
 The videos that have been posted before show how kinect can help other people in different occupations.

Kinect hospital use

kinect in education

The possibilities that kinect can give to other people, can really be endless, looking at the video you can see that anything could be possible with kinect, possibilities that could change peoples lives.

First attempt at stop motion

This video is not yet finished but gives you an idea of what me and the team were trying to accomplish when making the stop motion, i think the whole thing flows very well, however if it could be abit slower i think it should. It seems to go too fast and you don't have a chance to fully see what is happening in the video.
