Demo of initial prototype

This assignment is two fold: first, to make sure you've started on your prototype that is due at the end of the semester; second, to get your feet wet making a demonstration video.

Get your prototype started (if it's not already) and to a place where there's some basic functionality. This could be:

• desktop/mobile app: an initial GUI screen with a couple of tabs or form fields and mock data
• game: an initial menu with "play" and "exit", where clicking "play" puts you into your game (where you might not be able to do much of anything)
• web app: a landing page with some basic form fields and mock data
• hardware project: some of the initial wiring or initial code/interface for the software side

Once you have that going, you want to make a video a demonstration of it.  Do this by recording your screen (unless you have hardware, and then you can make a video with your phone, but try to make it as stable as possible). You should start your demo by introducing yourself and your project, give a very short pitch on what your project is, and then use the video to show the major features of your implementation. This first demo video will be short because you don't have much done. Keep it just a couple minutes long (2–3).

There are lots of options to record your screen. Here are some free options:

• OBS Links to an external site. (cross platform)
• ShareX Links to an external site. (Windows)
• QuickTime (macOS)
• VideoPad Links to an external site. (cross platform)—this has a free trial for video recording, but I'm not sure how long it lasts; it also does video editing

Once you record your demo, I want you to edit it with some text layovers. The opening of your demo should include a title with your name, the name of your project, the class, and the semester (e.g., "Fall 2020"). Include additional text overlays where appropriate (e.g., when demoing major features. Here's a list of some software you can use for editing your recordings Links to an external site. (VideoPad, mentioned above, is an easy one for editing).

Upload your video to your Endicott YouTube account. Make your videos either public or unlisted (only available with a link) so that everyone in class can view it; submit that link below.
