After reviewing my peers reviews of my final project, a few things which need attention become apparent. It is obvious that my project is lacking in the media aspect. Sound and more visual elements are needed to improve the projects' ethos. To remedy this my partner and I have arranged to go fly fishing on friday morning to gather footage of the river first hand. I plan to travel to the most popular holes and collect video footage of the geographic surroundings as well as some other aspects needed like methods to tie flies used on the san juan. In the process I plan to gather footage of my partner as well as myself, fishing, tying flies, and hopefully catching fish. I will then add this to my project to give it more visual appeal. Another aspect of my final project that is obviously lacking is the interactivity of the media. Because "prezzi" is such a new program to me I experienced and am still encountering a large learning curve. As cool as prezzi seems it is actually very limited in the way you can control things. I am still trying to figure out if I will be able to link a certain part of the map to a certain part of the outlying information regarding the area. So I plan to hammer out all of the kinks, so to speak, and add more visually stimulating material.

One of the projects that I was interested in was the other prezzi project. It appears that she is running into similar problems with the program. I really had high hopes for prezzi, however it is turning out to be a cooler looking way to give a power point, which is not very interactive.
