Final Reflection

 During this project, I've learned how to edit, research, and film on another level. I had to get creative when things didn't go our way, like when we first created the character Owen, we wanted him to be a boy, but when we lost our original actor, we had to make Owen a girl. It worked out better for us because we could talk about the gender inequality in STEM jobs, but it was still a challenge. 

We had to change editing platforms after we had already downloaded everything on DaVinci Resolve because it wouldn't work, then did our title animation on that platform while editing everything else on Clipchamp. Clipchamp wasn't much better and glitched every time we made a change, but it worked out in the long run. I had to learn to adapt to the changing situation. Our original plan was for our mad scientist to time-travel, but we quickly realized that wasn't realistic given the resources we had. We pivoted to a scientist who sees 5 days into the future with her glasses as her invention, becoming much more manageable for Juan and me. Overall, this project was long and exhausting, and I put in a lot of effort, so I hope it pays off.
