Ok, i need everybody to do a report of what you have done, what you have experienced while we are doing IPW projects and your personal thoughts of everybody in the team.
Parts of the Report
Experiment
Kevin, I and Yong xian will be doing this. We will include our current experiment, the failed one, and other failed plans we have thought of.
Research
For this one, Gerald and Edwin will be doing this and it will include all the research we found and the analysis, which is saying how accurate we think the Research we have is and what do we think is the factor that the research is telling us.
The rest
For the intro, conclusion, abstract and content page e.t.c stuff, we will find a day where we can all meet up together and do this up.

Findings
Well, I have found out that with corals, Tidal waves such as Tusnami's are slowed down alot. Without them, we would be devastated. THEREFORE, for our own safety and lives, DO NOT DESTROY CORALS.
Thanks.

Personal Blog
I will check all your blogs. If there are less than 10 posts by next week, Wednesday 2359 hours, i go spastic on thurs and kill you.
Videos
Nope, my experiment is not done. Please cut some slack. Will be done about the end of the week. Please hand me your videos before the weekend. Will compile during weekend and will pass you guys to criticize during the week. Also, i need a background music for the vid, please give me one. Meh, Yong Xian, the weekly worksheets by next Wed, LATEST AFTER MITS. For the vids, LATEST AFTER MITS CCA.
Update
Kevin is done with the experiment and is now left with the editing ad the voiceover which i plan to help him with. For maximum quality, i have required everyone to do their information video and export it at full quality, which edwin, gerald, and I have already done. Now all there is left is yong xian's, which is good but has one fatal error. He did a podcast, not a video, so...i need him to show his face. Thats about it for today's update and i would really like to thank my team for helping out so much and working along. BTW, lets try to finish ASAP as the deadline is in 3 weeks time. Well, every second counts.

iMovie convert to full quality movie (only if you dunno how)
Ok. First, open iMovie.


Then, you will need to create your video.

After that, you will need to publish it. Go to the share button in the menu bar.
Click on Quicktime and a window will open.
When it opens, you will see something like this
Compress Movie for: ...
Those are the options. Click on that bar.
If it says CD-ROM, just move one down and click on full quality. If not, then just look for the option full quality.
Finally, click on Share and put the name.
Finally, click save and you are all done.
After this post, if you still don't understand, i will post a vid k?
Video
Ok, since i'm going to the beach Saturday to celebrate my mum's b-day, i will collect sand there n also take the vid there or @ home?
Also, I will need everyone to record their videos in (minimum) 4 parts. At least 1/2 of the number of parts must be showing you and the rest, you can do whatever you want. When is say four parts, i mean in four different iMovies. Sorry for the 'big' task. Please do as many parts as possible. Also, take self portraits of yourselves so i can edit it into the credits. I NEED THIS BY NEXT FRIDAY 10th OF APRIL 2009. Find a USB, put your iMovies into folders with your names on it. And if possible, export movie as full quality. I will put a post and show you how to do it.
Yong Xian, i expect the Weekly worksheets by next Sunday 0000 hours.
TO ALL MEMBERS: if yong xian is unable to finish, please ask me for a copy of all the worksheets then do it urself. Me and Xinyuan will compile all the worksheets while the rest of you can kill Yong Xian.
TXY ONLY: send me what you think the video timeline will look like. I will compare with mine and do whatever changes we deem necessary.
New ideas
Due to lack of time, Kevin has shifted the duty of doing the weekly worksheets to yong xian, whom i hope i can trust. The video should be done today, as long as if edwin sends me the file. Due to lack of time (as well), Kevin decided that he will solo the experiment and take the video. I all goes well, i should be able to upload the info video in a few hours time.
