Our product was called the Quick Dish Dry. Our main goal was to finish on time and to actually get our product to work. Also to meet all the requirements of course. One of the main requirements was that we needed our video to be between 40 and 50 seconds. We met that requirement with 47 seconds. I believe we did meet the rest the requirements as well. As for our goal of the product working, we were actually a successful. The Quick Dish Dry surprisingly worked as we were filming. It dried the dishes so fast we actually had to soak the plates again in between scenes.


At the beginning of this project we created a production plan. The plan was due much earlier than the actual video and unfortunately not many people turned it in on time. Our team, well we were practically hanging on the edge of a cliff. Ashley and I worked on our plan through out lunch, the day it was due. We only had lunch to finish so we rushed trying to get it done. The bell rang which meant we had to get to our next class. We were NOT finished, although Ashley quickly typed in some words and we ran to Mr. Sanderl to get our idea approved, even though it wasn't completely finished. We did get it checked off and neither of us were late to our next class. So we just barely accomplished this goal.

The best "team moment" we had was probably the second time we met up to film. The first time we met up to film Ashton wore a white shirt. The second time we filmed he wore a purple shirt. Because of his appearance change we had to re film everything. But, that turned out okay. At first we didn't want to film but we knew we had to. We tried avoiding that fact by putting Ashton in a gray jacket. Well Ashley's gray jacket. It was a full on girl jacket with fur in the hood. It was pretty funny. Another team moment was when we needed a fan. We decided to walk up to Ashley's Aunt's house to get the fan. Ashton didn't want to put his shoes back on so he walked to Ashley's Aunt's house with us but in Ashley's bright purple slippers. I think overall the best team moments were when Ashton wore Ashley's clothes. He does anything we tell him too. I also remember we ate McDonald's together.

During the editing we had fun. In fact, through out all of this, we had a lot of fun. The editing was mostly done by Jhoanna and Ashley, again. Although this time Jhoanna took over a little more than Ashley. Also this time we all took turns editing but Jhoanna kind of cut in during my turn, also Jhoanna and Ashley took over when Ashton was editing. But, this time we did more than last time! When it was my turn to edit I tried to go back and attempt to fix a few errors. Then I added in a few clips but I never really had the time edit them hence the fact Jhoanna took the pen from me. But then I believe it was Ashton's turn. He added in a few clips and we showed him how to do a few things in iMovie so at least he learned something from that. I believe he added in transitions but I'm not really sure. We made him do a few more of the basic things because he didn't really know how to do much. He edited some clips to fit the length we wanted and then it rotated back to Jhoanna's turn, I think. She went back and fixed a few errors and added in some more clips. Ashley also dealt with most of the audio. Our commercial was pretty simple so it wasn't that hard to edit. It didn't take very long, it only took about 2 classes, or I guess that's 2 hours. Then, we turned it in, on time of course. Overall, I think we were a pretty successful team.
