Team,
First of all, we are meeting with Hanson for the last time tomorrow morning at 10am. This means we are meeting in the union, the usual place, at about 9:25am. Who wants to drive?
Secondly, this project is due on Friday. I am not getting responses from people about what they have been working on and it is frustrating. We all have other finals to worry about, but no one is any more or less busy than the next. Please do your share of the work from here until Critique, we are a team. Half of your punch list items need to be done by the meeting tomorrow morning. Please email me if you have any questions.
-Michelle
Sorry for the delay, I slept like the dead today, but have resumed work as of 30 minutes after awakening (that 30 being travel time). Finished subclipping the Jack Schmidt Messenger Studio clips, but the TMA... those clips are really blurry and fuzzy, not even at times, but consistently. With how good the rest of the video looks, I think this would just drag down the video quality. I got from the TMA clips what few were outside and crisp, and a few non-crisp shots of the crowd, because... that's all that was worth extracting.
ReplyDeleteThey're in the BGSU_glassVideos folder.
Can't find any Manville Marble clips. Anywhere. If informed where it is I can do some quick work after the meeting, if not informed even sooner, but as is... I can't work on what I can't find. Sorry...
Working on the photo correcting of every image in Libbey Factory right now. Doing what I can, sorry if it's not enough.
I dont know what footage you were sub-clipping, but the messenger studio is old and we were planning on getting new footage of that Monday but as you would have known, we werent able to. As for the museum shots, Christian went ahead and did them yesterday since we couldn't wait to get them done. We dont have any marble shots yet, and the same goes for the Libbey photos. Do you know how to make the nametags that animate? Jarrhette needed help doing those earlier so maybe you can help do that or begin to search for images of the two lifetime achievement recipients. Are you coming to the meeting with Hanson tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteAlright, pictures have been touched up, allowing for better depth, some scratch damage repair, and removed some of the fuzziness. To find it...

...wait, so I just wasted... three hours...
ReplyDeleteWhy wasn't the chart updated then? What is the use of this friggen chart if everything on it isn't what I should be doing!? I'm first left asking over and over "What should I be doing", and four and a half hours later when I kept asking I was still given no answer. This was remedied with a chart. Now I hear the chart wasn't even right? What am I even supposed to be doing anymore!? I can't follow a chart that has things I'm not *supposed to be doing* on it, or I'm wasting my time. I'm done for the day. If the stuff I did was wrong, that's not my fault, I was following the chart.
ReplyDeleteAt least say the photos still needed to be touched up, and that the Studio work clips weren't a complete waste of time to subclip, otherwise I just spent hours doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteNathan, If you would have been at the meeting last night like you had originally said you would be, then you would have known what was going on. Christian did your part because that was the vital first step of our process and many of the other steps could not be done until the new footage was sub-clipped. The chart was not updated, but I emailed you last night and earlier in the day today to talk about progress and I got no response from you. I don't know what you expect for me to do, i have my own things going on as well and cannot afford to spend all of my time trying to get a hold of you. I'm sorry that this happened but we all need to move forward and finish this project.
ReplyDeleteClearly there is a communication breakdown here.
ReplyDeleteNathan, you were supposed to subclip the newly shot footage of the museum. You missed the Monday night meeting, and therefore did not understand what to do, but clearly the footage that was shot a month ago (Schmidt interview and first TMA shoot) must have been subcliped/sorted already. Anyone who is actively involved in the project would be familiar enough with the piece to at least ask for clarification, second guessing that footage already inserted into the video is not what the punch list referred to.
Nathan, at this point you've missed three meetings this week alone. Communication is an essential part of team work, and if you aren't an active part of the team (by not attending meetings), then that is your fault.
We need everyone giving 100% effort now on this project. This is a REAL project with REAL clients and a REAL production deadline that will be shown to a REAL audience. This isn't something that you can blow off. There is no time to waste pointing fingers. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions and be part of the team. We can't afford to have anyone meander over the finish line at this point - it's final sprint time.
Thank you for those of you who attended the Hanson meeting *Michelle, Christian
And who managed to make it to our 4pm emergency meeting (Christian, Chris, Jarhette)
Best,
Heather
Uh, I was there Monday... I'm confused what you mean by me not being there. I even spoke with you after I finished talking to Cathy, my animation instructor... I was there.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, you told me the work I was to do wasn't on-hand yet, we spoke at the computer, at the back of the room, while Christian worked on something. You said the clips would be on the server on Tuesday, so I waited until then, came in to the Mac lab, and followed the names that were on the chart. Are you really going to accuse me of not attending Monday? I was there! I missed today... but I have attended many other meetings, and Monday's among them. Don't try to use me as some kind of scapegoat for your apparent bad memory or something, as I was there.
ReplyDeleteWe even reviewed the chart with us all back there.
