wins the race..
We had an a very innovative fun activity. We had to come up with an advertisement in 3 hours time – a proper 30-60 second ad..
And it was SO much fun. It was a big learning curve for me as I played Director and I’d never done that before and it was lot of fun storyboarding and working with Walt, the cameraman.
The funny part is that we spent close to to 1 and half hours just brainstorming! 2 teams were done in 30 mins while we stayed, debated, argued, fought for etc.. and boy, it was quite a long process. We almost gave up, but that’s just about when we agreed on something and started on it..
The other team (there were 4 in total) took slightly longer than us and we were almost freaked at this point as we had started really really late! And guess what.. our team came 1st and the other team came a close close 2nd (settled on tie breakers).
Our story lines were extremely simple, conveying a simple idea with lots of humor and that won it for us.
It was quite a lesson for me –
1) Think.. and then act..
2) No point in hurrying. The important thing to focus on is quality. :)
