Since starting this project, I think the most important thing that I learned is that I do not enjoy being on video, and that made this project pretty difficult. BUT!!!! I made it! Many thanks to Angela and Jasper for agreeing to be the actors here by the way, y’all deserve awards. Anyway, onto the process of it all.<\/p>\n

It all started with a graphic:<\/p>\n

The main purpose of the whole project was to come up with an April fools workshop idea. It took me a little while to come up with something that was funny, and I may or may not have been a little inspired by Zoe’s character “Mayday” (is that how it’s written? or is it “May Day?”) from our mock consultations. I thought the ongoing classroom rivalry between the characters in our mock consultations was funny, and ran with that. The idea? What if Mayday learned to hack from a DKC workshop and took that knowledge and ran with it. She could hack in to her rival’s project and take it down. Obviously this is not the kind of thing we typically teach here at the DKC, so I figured it wasn’t a bad choice.<\/p>\n

The next thing I had to tackle was the video. I really am not super comfortable working with video. I can do it, I have a good amount of experience with it, and I’m not awful at it. But I don’t think I like it. I started with a story board. I used the story board partially as a brain dump space, partially as a script, and partly as an actual storyboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Overall it was a good experience, and I’m glad I powered through it, despite my struggles. <\/p>\n

Happy (day after) April Fools!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
