Cmd method research

For my project I applied the a literature method study on the cmd method and based on it I learned and gather most of my informations for my project.

How we communicate in group project and have schedule for workflow

For our group project we usually talk on whatsapp and we use Trello to make new tasks and sprints, which is like deadlines for the next stuff we need to do. We also use Teams to upload files and have meetings.

On the right you can see a photo of the trello board, all our tasks are done so far and we split the work between the group.

Down here you can see a photo of of us communicating with the client and planning next schedule.

Down here you can see Teams files, we put most of our project there so the client can see it and stay updated with what we do.

Scrum planning for project

For our project we used the Scrum method to organize our work and make sure we stayed on track, we used Teamcharter, project plan , sprints , moscow protities and risk assements.

This is our team charter, It shows why we made the team, who is in charge of what, how we communicate, our goals, rules, and what happens if rules are broken. It also says when we meet, how we make decisions, and how everyone should take responsibility for their work.

This is our project plan. It shows who does what in the team, the steps (sprints) we follow each week, and what happesn in pre production, filming, and editing and It also explains what the project is (which is making a music video in Unreal Engine), what is most important (Moscow priorities) and what could go wrong (risk assessment). Basically, it’s our map to finish the project on time and work together smoothly.

Working with client on his storyboard for his videoclip

me and my groupmate went to tilburg to the client and that day we worked a little on his storyboard for his videoclip. On the right you can see a photo of the storyboard and our hands pointing out and discussing about the storyboard.

We brainstormed ideas and worked on the storyboard by creating sketches. The client wants basically a few shot of him close while his rapping , also shots walking in the dessert and also shots of his statue. Down here you can see a photo me and a notehr person discussing the storyboard.

On this sketch you can see he wants a close up scene while he is rapping about his feelings of being lost having pressure of time and choices.

On this sketch you can see him facing his statue from a very close distance meaning he decide to face and accept choices of his past.

Here you can see a sketch of him walking in the desert symbolising choices and time and just moving

Here you can see a sktech of the statue crumbling

At the end of this storyboard we managed to finsih half of the storyboard and the client wanted to continue working on it and schedule it for a next time, down here you can see how he scheduled meeting for next time in group and we voted.

Then the second time we worked with the client , he came to our school and we worked together on the story board and finished it.

After that one of my group made a video using AI by digitalizing the story board for us to somewhat get an idea how the video would look like based on the storybaord.

How did we manage our group documentations for our unreal project

On the right you can see a picture of an eternal ssd basically me and group seperated task and ultimatrely all of us combine everything together on the external ssd.

At first we tried out multi-user feature in unreal engine to see if we can work in the same space togheter but we ended up having a lot of issues with mesh conflicts which is basically items in the software that was not show up correctly on all the computers connected.

Here you can see me and my groupmate testing the multi-user feature in unreal engine.

So we decided to just work seperately and combine everything together on the external ssd that way we can avoid conflicts and have a more stable workflow and put everything in one simple folder on the external ssd and called it PixelPlayrgound5_6

In this folder we have all the assets and scene of the unreal engine nessecary for our group project.

Unreal engine and pixel playground

While working on the unreal scene its we had to test out how the actual scenery would look on the bigger screen which is the pixel playground to do the video clip. But because we had to ask teacher for scheduling to use the pixel playground , we decided to start expirementing with just a smaller screen. on the right you can see a photo of me in front of an flat screen with the simple desert scene in backrground.

Workshop showcase

We had to present our workshop to the new student from semester 1 , sadly we didn't took a lot opf photo but I will try to explain what we did based on the photos.

here you can see a group mate setting up the showcase for our showcase

Here you can see a few students and a teacher listening to our presetation and showcase , we were explaining the whole concept we had and also showing them the prototype we had.

also in the showcase we showed how the statue crumbles the reason behind this was that our client want that at the end of the videoclip his statue crumbles and break down, for it work I had to research how to break and crumble an object in unreal engine and I found out fracture which is a feature to break objects or shatter or lsice them etc.

Reflection professional standards

For my project I learned alot using the CMD method, watching videos and reading things online and also asking teachers for help. p We used Scrum to keep the team on track with Team Charter, project plan, sprints, MoSCoW and risk stuff so we dont get lost. When working on Unreal Engine I had to test how the scene look on the big Pixel Playground screen but we cant always use it so I start with a small screen first.

It help me see how the scene work for the video clip.

At the end we showed our workshop to the new students and overall I learned alot about working in a team, planning and making Unreal scene look good and in pixel playground.
