Not expecting much for today besides some further outlining and idea producing, it was a pleasant surprise when the equipment arrived in the early afternoon. We brought it back to our room and immediately began unboxing it all. After it was all said and done, our room was littered with packing tissue and random accessories. It was time to assemble everything and plug it all in. Before we could finish this, however, we immediately noticed that we were missing something very important: the cables and mic arm to connect the mics to the amp. We had to halt there and instead decided to set up the software side of things in preparation for when they would arrive. I spent the evening continuing more or less of the same on the software side of things.

Weekly Reflection

Weekly Reflection This week was exciting. I was initially a little worried, as our equipment was not slated to arrive until late in the week, but was pleasantly surprised when it showed up over Tuesday and Wednesday. After a bunch of testing, we began to record. The episodes were a total blast to record. Unfortunately, though, we messed up our first recording and had to re-record the entire thing. It wasn't an issue, though, as our re-recorded episode turned out better than the original, in my opinion. It was super cool to see our podcast up on official streaming services, along with a logo that turned out great, although it did take a few tries to get that right. We are most likely going to keep experimenting with more formats to continue approaching the marketing aspect of our project. These would probably be social media-based, catering towards shorter lengths and catchy moments to draw attention to the much longer and more attention episodes. It is just a matter of whether...

Relaxed day. Woke up stress-free, got some breakfast, and headed off to assembly to announce school leader results. As our equipment hasn't arrived yet, Max and I spent the day writing down ideas for our podcast and planning for the first few. We met with Scott to discuss what we had done and our direction for the entirety of the two weeks, and he was able to offer us some good advice. I won't lie, it was incredibly nice to be done with classes and homework. Hopefully tomorrow all of the equipment will arrive and we will be able to get it all set up. I am super excited for the first episode! I may post a sneak peek here.

Weekly Reflection

Weekly Reflection     The second week of our senior project went smoothly, and I am very happy with what we were able to produce. We stayed on track this week, publishing two episodes as planned. Our work schedule followed pretty similar to the previous week. It is a little surreal to think that we only have three days left of senior project, and six until graduation.  For these last three days, Max and I have one last episode to record. We will likely split the recording between Monday and Tuesday, trying out some different ideas and just getting some mass of content available for when we go to edit it all. Our final editing and episode will then be pushed out by Wednesday night, with editing done over the course of the morning and afternoon. We hope to include repeated segments but also mix in new stuff. The most difficult challenge this week was definitely rallying to get some new ideas down on paper for us to record. We had some really great ideas but tr...
