Creating, Imagining, and Innovating

﻿ //Have you ever said "I can't draw" or "I was never any good at math" or "I can't sing"?// //It doesn't matter. You can still create and innovate - find a way. The future is not// //some place we are going to but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found,// //but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.// //- John Schaar//

I have always felt that no one person can be good at everything. Everyone has their own personal bests. To have the greatest outcome you must discover what it is about yourself that is best and understanding that you are capable of doing anything. Rob, Emily, and I created, imagined, and innovated together to create or video presentation on our rock candy experiment. We realized that we all had different skills for this, so we all individually created, imagined, and innovated, then finally collaborated everything and once again, created, imagined, and innovated our final video. Rob was in charge of filming, Emily was in charge of editing, and I was in charge of narrating. However, at first, we put together a plan of how we wanted our video to be. We decided that we would need to first document each step of the process using videos and photographs. This way we would be able to take our audience through what we did, step by step. We created this plan, imagined the outcome, and innovated by following the plan. After we had finish documenting. We moved into the video editing phase. Although Emily was in charge, we all helped out. We, together, created a video, showing step by step what we did and the outcome of the rock candy. We began typing words into the video, but we realized this was not working as we had though. The video was going by too slow. This is when we thought of narrating. I took this job within our group. I never thought I was very good at making things clear, but I knew I could speak in a clear voice. So we combined our skills, where Emily and Rob wrote down what I should read, and I read it. We took these narrations and put them into the video, and everything felt complete. We, together, created, imagined, and innovated this video by combining our skills as a group.
