My embedded media didn't work, I fiddled around a tad too much, and it kinda sucked the life out of my whole presentation.
Not that this would even matter had my idea been half decent, but after hearing other other pitches and ideas, it's not as unique or original as I hoped, although I suppose that's to be expected given that everyone was likely to do something about the history of Sheffield, given the feedback from the client. Still, some broke the norm, others even broke their specialism, and it will certainly be interesting to see how their ideas develop.
Me? I just broke my own spirit!
Matt wasn't impressed, and thought I needed more work to show. And he's right, I should have put more into practise, and developed my ideas further. Thing is I was waiting for the pitch to see which ideas would be best received, and intended on using the feedback I got from it to shape the path I take with them. But that was clearly the wrong approach to take, and I should have brought more to the table in order to SELL the idea first...
My bad. Lesson learned. And dully noted for next time.
Matt said I looked pissed off. And in a way I was, pissed off with myself. I thought my idea was absolutely perfect for the Twilight show, and almost expected it to sell itself with the ideas being communicated, and visual examples shown that demonstrated what I had in mind, but clearly, that wasn't the right approach to take, and I've missed out on the shortlisting this time. :(
My one saving grace was the idea I just threw in for the hell of it last night, with the augmented reality tablet idea showing the Sheffield of the past. Matt really liked it, and where I'd already combined my initial two ideas to make a single stronger one, I'm now going to look at ways to incorporate all three.
The road to redemption begins...
