Side Post: Draft Demo Reel, P&G Expert Advice, and Social Media Campaigns

 This is a draft demo reel for what I have accomplished during this semester and quarter with Junietta for the DFX 452 project. What you can view here is subject to change. For example:

1. I would like to add more motion to the background if time allows.

2. The background music will be replaced.

3. The placeholder photos will be replaced.

 

Here is the draft demo reel!


I am satisfied with the basic, forward and simple structure. I really enjoy the intro logo sequence. This demo reel is meant to fit in as a presentation that you may see on office monitors or company monitors to showcase quarterly work, things of that sort. Alternatively, it is a reference for what a background video may look like on the Junietta website, which we are currently working on as well (Not to be confused with my personal portfolio website that will have a DFX452 section).


Advice from a Seasoned Professional

In addition to this DFX 452 demo reel, at Junietta we have continued our time after the NVP win to meet with various industry professionals. Most recently we met with a senior product designer from Proctor & Gamble who offered us sound advice and assistance with our synthesizer. 

 

"Innovate on what will specifically set your product apart from the others, and put all effort into that. Everything else, such as the way the prototype looks, comes second."

 

Social Media Campaigns

We have also finalized the basic creation of Junietta's LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and similar. We are regularly posting on LinkedIn as the University of Cincinnati often links and mentions us in their posts from our time at NVP as well as our presence in their other events. Very soon we will begin uploading to the various platforms to document our journey and spread the word about our brand.


Website, eMail services, & more

The team has been hard at work setting up our online workspaces, website, and infrastructure. So far, our @junietta.com custom emails work fantastically, alongside our WIP website and our collaborative internal workspace (Via Notion).


I look forward to writing Blog Post 4 and detailing the final touches on this successful project so far. Keep an eye out for the final demo reel, the final synthesizer promotional material, and more of my writings to come.


Thank you!

Blog Post #4: Final Demo Reel, Render, VLNEXT, and Integration 04/22/2024

 Final Demo Reel The background music was replaced with something more fitting that one may hear in a lobby or lounge. Placeholder photos were replaced with the final compositions, as well as new subjects added for other completed areas. Background motion through the brand shapes was also a new addition. The organization of the demo reel was based on displaying the final works first, then the development pictures, as well as displaying the various funding and networking events we attended. Final Brand Render   The final/additional brand render is now complete as a 3840x2160 image (Though Blogger will cause for it to be lossy). I was able to create a 3D-brand render through Blender 4.0 and the Cycles rendering engine. I am very satisfied with this composition; I had created a 3D-model of the Junietta logo, modified it to have varying layers of height dependent on color, and dedicated a good portion of the time perfecting the lighting. A special "Shade Smooth" technique wa...

  Another $10,000 of non-dilutive funding! This makes our total funding for this year $22,250 . This is more than enough to fund our first initial product. We were recently accepted to the Venture Lab Next program at the University of Cincinnati, and over the course of this summer, we will meet and work with various industry professionals and mentor entrepreneurs to assist us in perfecting our prototype synthesizer. This new business accelerator will be a fantastic learning experience and way to hit the ground running. - Stefan
