Project 6 Evaluation (an explanation of Dora)

This was a very fun project to do. It was difficult because I had final projects and exams all in the same 3-day period. I had to race in a film race while doing the rest of my work. I had not slept in over 24 hours when Dora was conceived. I starred at the blocks and I thought, “What can I do with these blocks? I figured I could count them. Then I figured, who could count better than me? The answer was Dora. I put it together and dubbed it to tape. The whole night I was scared to death because my project was so silly and dumb and I knew there would be projects that were very deep and looked like a lot of hard work had gone into them, and they would be playing together. When it played and people laughed I was relieved. It was something amazing to see how 15 people took 3 blocks and made 15 unique and wonderful films. It all goes back to the idea of film in the rough. All of them were made the better when you find out the criteria. I was blown away by the work my peers made. I wasn’t bored for a minute (granted it was only about 20 minutes). It was fun to see other people who weren’t in our class seeing an enjoying our projects. I’m glad we were able to participate in this event. I can’t wait to see what the next class churns out.
