Collaborating on this project has been great. I can’t ask for a better group of colleagues to work with. We watch, listen and learn. We are patient with each other. Group members are communicating and as a whole we are progressing. The most challenging and time consuming issues for me involve inworld activities. Logging on and learning the process of maneuvering the camera and avatar proved challenging. A little tidbit when logging inworld for the first time: your login is first name space last name. Remember the space.
I wanted to be part of two groups: public relations and journalism, but decided to stick with journalism. Navigating the inworld platform is not that difficult, but learning the process is time consuming. By Sept. 2, 2015, the journalism group will have written outline/plan detailing goals, strategies and tactics for the entire group and for each individual journalist. We are focused, determined and working hard to make sure the finished project represents our exceptional talents and efforts. Everyone on the team understands the final goal is creating a phenomenal 4 to 5 minute machinima.
Today I spent a couple hours inworld with my avatar learning how to build. I was fine until I got to the hallowing and cutting segments. I left the virtual world to correspond with journalism group members regarding next Wednesday’s meeting and blogged. Our team goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. It’s refreshing to know I am collaborating with very talented and motivated people.
Going back inworld, blog more soon.
