for our most recent project, we were tasked with the force of finding and calculating the physics behind any move in sports. me and my group chose the coolest thing we could think of: dunking. we used one of the schools best varsity basketball players,alvin geraci.
in the video, we give a brief explanation of the forces behind this formation. we used such forces as:
Projectile motion: a from of motion where a projectile is thrown towards earths surface
Force: a push or a pull measured in newtons
work: the product of the force of an object and the distance moved resulting from that force
velocity: speed in a given direction
acceleration: the rate in which velocity changes
in our video we calculate all these things with precision. the video is below.

my group members were Joe Maliaras, Brandon Kelly, and Austin Marshall. in the group we each played a different role. I wrote up the script, edited our video into the final product you see above, and made a kick-ass logo with intro music for the video. Joe narrated the video and helped us set-up our demonstration with Calvin. Austin did all the calculations and helped me incorporate them into the video. Brandon filmed himself doing a "dunk" in his backyard which added quite a lot of needed time into our video. in short we all had a part that was necessary to the project.
we did have many faults during our project. the script got deleted about 4 times, making it more and more difficult for the writer (me) to keep a sane face in front of the teacher.the legendary script is below. read it before it's deleted again.

timing was also an issue for us, caused by the deletion(is that a word?) of our script several times. we also had issues with uploading our video to youtube and volume problems, wherein the narrator is unheard.
I feel like there were also many things we did well and correctly. Austin's calculations are precise and concise with barely any error. if there were any present, we would immediately go to fixing them as a group. we also had all in all, a pretty high quality video.
admittedly, I could have tried to save my files better. I learned through this that extra work is terrible and I don't like doing it. I could have become less frustrated with my video, as I learned that movie maker is stupid.
I also edited the video well, which I thought was a win.
as we were working on our video, we each learned something about ourselves. we learned to work better as a group in the end and walked out with a pretty nice video.
