Week 26: Reflection on Practice - Conference Day

And then there was light.

Today we had our presentations. It was a long day, but it was great to see how everyone's research journeys had turned out. I had kind of hoped to have been earlier in the day, but I ended up being in the last group. It didn't turn out to be much of an issue though, after all the practice I did, I felt a lot more prepared.

The practice run with Kirti and Sheng helped me dramatically and gave me the little boost I needed.


Some of the slides from my presentation:







Near the end of the project I explained how my research progressed like a journey. To begin, I was thinking solely from my own personal development. This moved to how this information could also help those in the field of VFX or studying to be and how this could help better visual effects and compositing in film and TV. However, the research has lead me to a new path and currently I think I would like to take my research down the route of pychological, social and intellectual development of autistic individuals through digital media, animation and VFX. I looked into this topic and found grounds that this sort of research could definitely be successful and I am very interested in taking my research down this path.

Over-all, I feel that my presentation went rather well. I feel extremely pleased with the difference between this presentation and the one I did in the practice session. I hope this will prepare me for future presentations I will have to do.
