Cassie created discussion forums on Moodle for her animation team to collaborate on their radio station project. She set up topics for tasks like researching existing stations, sharing ideas, and individual assignments. Cassie filled out ethics documents, uploaded her flipbook work, and sketched rough and final storyboards combining the team's ideas of a flipbook, boombox, and spinning logo. This allowed the team to efficiently divide tasks and share work.

1. Cassie Coyne
E6 Radio 3D Animation Production Log
Creating my Forum
To start the new Unit Team Leaders were chosen to
create forums on the eccles moodle website for
team members to post on.
So I created a new forum under the Unit 67
Animation title, and gave it my name so my team
would know where to post their ideas and could
easily find it.

2. Creating the discussion topics
Then I created a new discussion topic for
each relevant task needed to complete, so
the team could post their work on there. I did
this by clicking the button highlighted.
Then I simply gave the discussion topic a relevant
title , then added a small message telling the team
what they should post in the specific topic.

3. Ethical Checklist
Before we started working on the
ideas for the radio station
animation, as the Team Leader I had
to make sure that the Ethical
Checklist Agreement was set up for
everyone to sign and fill in. I did this
by downloading the document from
moodle, then using an old image of
my signature and copy an pasting it
into the space for my name.
The same as the other times I
created discussion topics for the
group, I posted a new topic with
the title Ethical Checklist then
uploading the correct document I
just filled in to it so the rest of the
group could easily find everything
and upload their work promptly.

4. Collaboration Agreement
For the Collaboration Agreement, I
worked the same as wit the Ethical, and
downloaded the document from
moodle, and used the old signature, then
filled in the necessary information about
me including my
name, address, postcode, telephone
number and my email address.
Then I uploaded the work I did under the
title Collaboration and let the others reply
with their work.

5. Existing Radio Station Research
To get started with the task, as a team we researched into existing
radio stations to get a better idea of what is already out there.
I created a discussion forum for this and uploaded my own work by
using the attach button at the bottom of the page before posting it
as shown below.
When my team wanted to post their work
under the specific title, they simply clicked
reply and uploaded a small message and an
attachment like me.

6. Pooled Ideas Generation
The next task for the group was the pooled ideas generation.
For this we all individually, used a light hearted approach and created
numerous rough drafts of possible ideas for the radio station on paper.
Almost like a mood board of sketches.
Then once we had each contributed our ideas and looked them over as a
group, we decided the on the best ideas and what we could use
together.
After discussing all the ideas we decided to mix two of mine and one of
Sam's ideas together. We chose to do the flipbook idea with a boom box
sound system and the spinning number ‘9’ which turns into a ‘6’ and
becomes the e6 logo.

7. Everyone’s Individual Tasks
The group was assigned their
individual tasks for the e6 logo
animation.
1. Me – My task was to complete
the base for the animation which
was the flipbook, which I did in
Flash.
2. Jordan- Had to create the e6 logo
3. Sam- Created the 3D boom box in
light wave modeller.

8. Rough Story board
For the rough storyboard, as I was the best at drawing on my team I volunteered to sketch
out the rough idea of what was going to happen.
The pages below show the number of frames, what happens during those frames and
how it all plays out and how it is linked to the e6 radio station with the logo at the end.

9. Final Story Board
For the final story board I used the images of the rough
storyboard sketches and the logo Jordan made for the final
frame; then I typed in the text boxes underneath the
pictures a summary of what was happening in them and how
things were playing through, and then uploaded it to the
moodle site with the rest of the work.
