Thursday - Exhibition day.

Today was the big D day, the day of the exhibition. The exhibition was held at Båtmanskassernen and we set up our booth in the far back of the hall. We had some difficulties with the programming and with the projectors, but by the time of the opening we had it all up and running.

The final experience was quite different from the original idea, being more simple and we had to explain to the visitors what the concept behind it was and what was actually behind the curtains. Some of the visitors were really chatty and had a lot of questions and feedback. We also presented our project to our instructors for this module, and they seemed to like the concept although they felt it was a shame we couldn't deliver it.

In the end, it seemed like our projected just ended up being a cool cinema room.

It was also very nice to witness and try out the other groups things in the flesh, we'd heard about their concepts before this, but it was very different to actually to see what they presented. Everyone was very curious about each others' stuff and at the end of the day, everyone had seen everything.

We still have the evaluation for tomorrow, but as far as I'm concerned we're finished with this module. And although it didn't reach our initial goal, we sure did get a lot of useful experience for later modules and work.

Wednesday

It's allready dark outside, but still it feels like you'v just jumped out of your pyjamas.
It might be because our planet have suddenly decieded to move faster, but let's face it.. That can't be the answer, so I'll just blame my group! It's you'r fault my days have started to go faster, and yes I know how you are capable to make such a great and evil plan!
You are simple a good group that are doing your best eventhough things isn't turning out very well all the time, but still you are doing the best of the situation. And maybe the biggest reason, you are all very kind, maybe too much sometimes. Or is it just me? not willing to let the doctor touch me.. ?

The afternoon started out quite well.. NOT. The monter collapsed, Flash wasn't willing to cooperate anymore and maybe the worst and most annoying part of the day, the projector.
Since we had two diffeent kind of projectors, we knew from the beginning this would be a problem even with two of the same kind. But now we had to change the resolution and alot of other settings. But after lots of hours a projector of the same the kind that we had fell down from the sky, and yes we are saved and at least finished with the prototype. Tomorrow is the big exhibition day!

Tuesday

Well.. we are almost there and now the pressuere really feels within the group and a bit frustration about the project didnt really get where we wanted it.

I think everybody in our group has learned that you have to see over the technique more and the whole process and dont get to over your head about all the surroundings and maybee keep it simple.

On the other side i am really proud about the group and the groupwork has worked really great in my opinion, especially in the exhibition hall when we build our monter.

Now there is more time to loose so i must go and work..

See ya all at the opening!

Monday

Three days left for the exhibition, I think everyone is a bit nervous. Some groups have come quite long in their projects and some other not. I hope everyone will come out with the results they wished for.
Today has been a day with a lot of building and climbing and running around looking for things that’s missing. Our monitor right now looks like a dumpster, but hopefully we will manage to get it in shape until Thursday! The class is very helpful I think if you think about how stressed out everyone is.
The building team has been rather irritated today. One is trying to quit with his nicotine addiction and one have some problem with itching eyes, and I got mad because everything a have put up today fell down. But I think we managed to not affect the rest of the group pretty good. Otherwise, Sorry guys! ☺

Building building

Yeah now the gates to båtsmans has opened !

Me and Kim are responsible for the exhibition area and we are going to start build tommorow.
The hard part with this is that we arent going to get the projectors until wednesday so it will be really confusing about how we should place them to get the result we are after.

So the checklist for the sunday is.

  • Build a great display for our product to be shown on!

It will be really fun to see all of us working our asses of with the exhibition because the opening isn´t that far away from now.

Now i need some good nights sleep to have the power to be builder bob tommorow!

Today work progressed steadily. The magizine brief was finished and sent to the other group. And we have also recieved their magazine brief.

Besides that, several short animated movies are currently in the making for the final Emotional Impressions room.

Everyone's worked fairly individually with their own task, and everyone is very motivated to get this done in time and with the best possible result. We are all working very hard and I'm looking forward to seeing the final thing.

Hope everyone out there had a good Cinnamonroll-day and we hope to see you at the exhibition date!

The day started out very well, after an extended follow-up group meeting at båtsmanskasernen where we talked alot about how much pressure we have on us and that it ends in stress. Even though we were a tight team before we are alot closer now and I guess we will get closer in the end awell.

I also think some of us got a little reminder, and will therefore work and act in a different way to achieve even more!
It's also a big relief that we have built a prototype over the project room in one of the cells in Häktet. This means we can start trying out our product or experience as we call it. It will be alot safer, since we will have a little clue of how it might look like and work.
