My Research techniques

  • Building projections
    • To see what has been done before, who does it, how much it costs and consumers reaction to these events [tags: Online, twitter, blogs]
  • Repurposing 3D
    • To find out how it can be done and its complexities [tags: Online, journal]
  • Book and conferences
    • To learn about 3D [tags: book, conferences]

My learning during the project

• The difficulty of filming in 3D, how to shoot and edit 3D footage
• Get it right at the shoot
• Allow lots of time for shooting and editing in 3D
• Talk to consumers, not just research online
• The complexities of repurposing 3D for different mediums
• We had consistent slides (look and feel)
• We ran nearly to time
• We worked as a team
• We solved problems as a team
• We supported each other

Things that went well

• We had consistent slides (look and feel)
• We ran nearly to time
• We worked as a team
• We solved problems as a team
• We supported each other

Future improvements

• More images in the presentations plus images of the shoot in 3D
• Less duplicate content in some of the slides
• Less slides overall, with less text
• More fluidity by having more rehearsals
• Looking more professional by the presenter changing their own slides
• Better and more figures/costs
• More joined up message from all of the speakers and common language
• Start earlier
