Beyond an abrupt start, I believe that being a smaller group also worked in our favor, complementing each other when necessary and trusting each member fully in the more individual activities. I have learned a lot both practically and theoretically, which renews my energy – despite the fact that it has been an extremely complex exercise – to face the challenges to come.

My personal contribution to the project (final): demonstration and pitch video

Making both videos was something I was looking forward to since the first day of week 1. I enjoyed every minute of the long hours of editing and tedious post-production. Articulating each segment of the pitch so that the information was not overwhelming -or boring- and at the same time clear enough to present the product took up every moment of the 4 days I had planned for it. Fortunately, everyone in the group contributed their material well before the deadline, which gave me some extra leeway.

Beyond some technical imperfections, or omissions of content, I think we were all very satisfied with the result, presented in exactly 10 minutes, including the credits!.

• The final pitch deck on pdf version.
• The pitch planning documentation (including a list of all the assets used on both videos and the prototype).
• The video transcription.

I must also say that on certain occasions I considered it necessary to intervene in specific tasks that were not my direct responsibility having given enough time for each team member involved to come up with their solution. It was on the few moments when these ideas did not meet the requirements or were not approved by the whole team that I contributed my own proposals to increase the chances of success and move forward, always submitting them to the approval of the others.
