Today's class was perhaps one of the most productive ones in a while. I was able to finish penciling out all the scenes in the current teacher recruiting video. It turned out that there were around 165 scenes that had to be penciled out. One challenge that I did face was that at first, I wasn't able to open the DVD, and I thought that that computer had gotten damaged too, however later it did open and I realized that what was happening was simply that it was extremely slow. Therefore, in general, today was an extremely productive class, and next class we will hopefully begin planing the new and better version of the teacher recruiting video.

This class was extremely productive. The basic purpose of this class was to pencil out all the scenes in the current teacher recruitment video. The plan was that I penciled out at least 5 scenes because we brainstormed that the video had 50 scenes. I ended up penciling out 53 scenes. In general they are very varied, and therefore our assumption that they were only 50 scenes was terribly wrong. In the end, it was a very productive class. A challenge we did face however, was that my computer did not want to read the DVD for some reason and so I had to move to another computer. Other than that, today was a great class.

Today's class was great! We went on a field trip to Torre Popular where my father works, and he gave us a tour of all the technological things that there are in the bank and that are needed for the bank to be secure in the event of an emergency. It was the best field trip I have ever gone on! Especially because it was with my father, and since he has access to the entire company, we were able to view and explore everything, even top secret areas. A challenge we faced was that three people did not make the bus :S. That was very sad, but the few of us who did go, had an awesome time! :D I loved this class!!! This has been my favorite class the entire year! :D

Today's class was extremely productive. I was able to continue working on formulating ideas for the video. Francisco and I also organized a few things around the room. This class was extremely well spent because I was able to research on the internet and watch different videos from different schools and colleges, and I penciled out several ideas that I think would further improve the school's teacher recruitment video. A challenge I did face was that some of the videos would not open because they were blocked by the school, and therefore I had to spend part of the class finding proxies that would allow me to bypass the school's security. In the end it was worth it. In general, it was a very productive class.

Todays class was great. After discussing a few ideas about the video we need to make for Delman, we spent the class watching videos on people's life changing moments, and analyzing the importance of following your dreams and how shows, such as Britain's Got Talent, really bring out the best in people. Susan Boyle was particularly inspirational however. I also enjoyed this class, because it gave me an opportunity to figure out some further details about the field trip and to catch up on my blogs. Today was an awesome class and I really enjoyed it a lot.
