Final Project

Our group embarked on our final project journey with the selection of our topic during the initial weeks. After careful consideration, we decided to delve into "The History of Nintendo," a captivating subject within the expansive realm of video game history. With our topic chosen, we divided tasks amongst ourselves and established clear deadlines to ensure timely completion.

Fig 1.3 Research on the Topic

As part of our research process, we meticulously delved into the rich history of Nintendo, uncovering fascinating insights and pivotal moments that shaped the company's journey. Our findings were organized into cohesive slides, laying the groundwork for our project's narrative.

With my designated role in asset creation, I took on the task of crafting visual elements that would bring our project to life. Opting for an illustrative outline style, I meticulously developed assets to complement the narrative and enhance viewer engagement.

Upon presenting our initial storyboard and video draft to our lecturer, we received constructive feedback highlighting areas for improvement. Undeterred, we embraced the opportunity to refine our approach, revamping our narrative and script during class sessions to infuse a captivating story-like quality into our project.

A  pivotal moment in our project's evolution came with the complete overhaul of our narrative and storyboard, a decision driven by our commitment to elevating the project's quality. Revisiting our initial concept, we fine-tuned our vision, presenting a more detailed storyboard to our lecturer for approval.
