The Creative Process



We started out with dividing up getting the songs, the pictures, and a storyline worked out. As we did I became aware of how daunting a tasks it was to put this movie together. We got together a showed each other what had done so far. This was the hardest meeting because we all had a different idea in our heads as to how it was going to look when we were done. As we got together and talked it out step by step I learned that Shelly is very assertive in what she says. I like that. I need to become more assertive; I tend to just step out of the way and avoid conflicted. In the next meetings we knew what we wanted but had a hard time figuring out how to work the program. That was hard because we all felt helpless or useless. Only one person could be the driver. In some ways it would be a lot essayer to do this project on our own. We are getting to the lasted stages now. We’ve have to cut down allot of text and trim down on the photos. I didn’t think we could have a “fun” story line and do the life cycle of the butterfly but as it turns out we did it. Erika missed her calling in life she could have been a Disney Voice artist. She is so funny, she makes the world that much rounder. The movie can to life as we started doing the voices (we laughed so hard it was like we were at a sleep over party). The Creative process can be both frustrating and hilariously comical. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the members in my group and gained a better understanding of how to run a group project.


Millennial Generation
Why can’t TV be wireless? Why can’t I talk to friends on the airplane? Why can’t… The answer is we probably will be able to in a few years. My grandpa is 93 years old. He remembers driving his brothers Model A (one step up from the Model T) car from Utah to Arizona to date Grandma. There was no heating in the car and he got really sick on the way, had to be in bed for three weeks. What a change he has seen from horse drawn buggy to the cars. My Dad remembers when phone numbers were only four digits long. He jokes that you could pick up the phone any old time and hear someone else conversation. Today the older generation is always asking the younger generation how to run new technology. There is a roll confusion happening. No longer do the old people know more than the younger. What will the world be like in ten or fifteen years, waited and see. It’s exciting to see how far we have come. In the 1970’s we thought we would be living on the moon, selling real state. It’s hard to know where we will be in time. The thought of credit card changing over to fingerprint technology is not so far out of reach. My brother’s laptop has a fingerprint pass code. The problem with it is that he works construction so his fingers are always getting cut and the computer doesn’t recognize his print. With all technology there will be basic problems to overcome.
