Disseminate: My Presenation

I had no idea what I was going to do for my presentation. I had a lot of interests and things I would have liked to have talked about, but I had no idea how I was going to make my ramblings last a whole ten minutes. Instead of doing this, I decided to take the opportunity to research a new animation technique, because not only would this be useful to me, it meant that I could have enough material to present. I chose Rotoscoping.

I'd heard of Rotoscoping before, but I only knew the very basics. I looked into the technique and what it could be used for, when it came about and good examples of where the technique had been used. I found researching the process to be quite entertaining and I was able to find enough content to present, so I put it together in Google Slides and rehearsed what I was going to say.

The presentation went better than expected actually. I was too nervous to function, but somehow managed to get through the ten minutes. I stumbled over my words a lot and noticed that I said "erm" quite a lot due to my nerves and when I tried to cut down on the amount of times I said it I stumbled even more. I'm glad that I did it though, because I really want to overcome my "fear" of public speaking, and I think it will be a great trait to have. I think it would have been better for me if I didn't have to remember my research and if I would have chose a topic that I knew what I was talking about maybe then I wouldn't have stumbled so much. The only thing I could have done would have been to not be as nervous (which will hopefully happen in time) or to have rehearsed my presentation a bit more. It also would have been a good idea to check that my GIFs still worked once I had downloaded the presentation. I checked to see if they worked in the browser when I was rehearsing, but completely forgot when it came to downloading the file, which was a shame because they would have helped explain Rotoscoping a bit easier.
