OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY & THE BRAIN)
- thoughts: I have a lot of work to do, I should deconstruct the projects because it usually feels like more than I is than I did and it was pretty easy. I then worked and completed all my assignments.
STUDIO (CREATIVITY)
- I learned some formatting skills that will allow me to get to the different folders and what they do as well as i can use this Manuel if i get stuck later on
CONTROL ROOM (PRODUCTION)
- two people can be working on different folders at the same time for one project like on person can work on character design while one could work on character mechanics
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- I didn’t get one of he questions but i looked at the example and it made it a lot easier
