My name is sepand z. and I created the micro zap with my group. The group was Brandon, Corey, Bryan, Carlos and I. we were all brainstorming while thinking about the invention, and then Bryan thought about the micro zap.

        The micro zap is basically a box that has a huge zap button on side of the box. It’s all black and the zap button is purple. We painted it very good and choice the best colors possible.

 It works by writing what you want on a piece of paper what you want to eat, then you open the micro zap and place the piece of paper in the micro zap, you then press zap and whatever you wrote on the piece of paper would appear right before your eyes.

        The difficulties of the project was waiting for the paint to dry and videotaping the project. While videotaping the project we had to retake shots over and over again till we finally got the right shot.

        The poster we made was very nice it was very colorful it had a picture of a hamburger that I made. It was like a McDonald’s big mac but better. I think it would taste good if it was real.

        The micro zap was successful and the project was fine till we left it outside and some kids broke it. But overall we enjoyed working with everyone and had fun.

Script:
Joe: Ugh, I’m so hungry. I wish there was a way to get food super quickly.

Salesman: Well look no further! Introducing the Micro-Zap! The micro-zap is a fast way to get your food. Here is how it works. You write what you want on a piece of paper and stick it into the micro-zap. Then, click the ZAP button and its there!

Dwyane: I got my micro-zap and I love it!

Albert: Oh me too! It is amazing!

Joe: Well where can I get one?

Salesman: I happen to have one with me now. Here you go. *gives Joe the micro-zap*

*Shows how Microzap is used*

Joe: Whoa thanks!

            Working together as a team was a lot of fun. We all contributed and had really good ideas. We came up with the invention because we were hungry and we wanted food instantly. Then that’s how it came to life. The team had to make a lot of sketches before getting to the final one. The video took a lot of time too getting all the right clips in.

            Our invention is the Micro-Zap. The Micro-Zap is a microwave that gets you food instantly. You take a paper and write what you want then put it in then it comes out. It’s easy and cool.  It’s easy for people who are lazy and hungry.

            We came up with the idea for the invention because we were all naming our favorite foods and then we got hungry. We wanted food instantly. We simply came up with the Micro-Zap.

            Brainstorming was pretty easy because we all had the same idea and we all wanted food. Creating a thumbnail took a little while because we weren’t sure what to include in the poster or what the Micro-Zap would like or how much it would be worth. Designing the actual poster was a lot easier because we already had the thumbnail sketch.

            Our script was mainly to explain the purpose of the Micro-Zap we had supporting examples to show.

            Some of the shots for our storyboard were establishing shot, medium shot, close-up shot. We had zooms, tilts, and pans for the shots.

            We were all fooling around so it took us more than a day but we still got everything we needed.

Micro-zap animation by Bryan C.

The micro-zap script was about a guy named joe who really wanted food and a salesman came by and offered him a micro-zap. He showed joe how it worked and he bought it without ant doubt in his mind.

Some of the pictures we came up with was Joe standing there saying hes so hungry. Then the salesman came. Then he introduced the micro-zap and Joe was amazed.

The only problems we encountered filming was my friend Sepand messing around

It was fun and I learned how to work well with others.

In this class, my group and I created an invention called the micro-zap, which worked like this. You write what food you want on a piece of paper, put it in the micro-zap, press the zap button, and boom. You have the food! As for the video, we got along great and filmed an entertaining movie.

My friend Bryan came up with the invention micro-zap while the group was brain-storming.

In the cration of the micro-zap proccess, we got a big cardboard box and colored it with the features we imagined. Then we cut an opening in the front of the box as a door to the micro-zap.

Joe: Ugh, I’m so hungry. I wish there was a way to get food super quickly.

Salesman: Well look no further! Introducing the Micro-Zap! The micro-zap is a fast way to get your food. Here is how it works. You write what you want on a piece of paper and stick it into the micro-zap. Then, click the ZAP button and its there!

Essay:
My invention is the Micro-Zap. My group and I came up with it by thinking about food because we were hungry. I find that kind of funny. It was hard to come up with an idea but we still got through it. After we got the idea, we made a script and a play and a storyboard and a poster. That was actually very easy. And also I had a lot of fun.
The invention that my group and I came up with is called The Micro-Zap. It functions like a Micro-Wave and looks like one too. Its job is to be a fast and easy way to get the food that you want. You write what you want on a piece of paper, put it in the Micro-Zap, and close the door, then you press the big ZAP button, and when you open the door, the food that you wrote down on the piece of paper is there waiting for you to eat it !
My group and I came up with the Micro-Zap idea by thinking and thinking. WE had no idea what to do for our invention. Lunch was a couple periods behind us, so we were getting hungry. We said how cool it would be if we could just poof food right out of the open. And then we knew that we had our invention!
Like I just said, we brainstormed our idea by being hungry and wanting food. Creating a thumbnail sketch was a little more difficult. We had our idea but we didn’t have our design. So we created one. Designing our poster was fun. We put the name of the invention, a drawing of it, a description of the invention that tells what it does, why someone would buy it and how much it costs. All that was thought of by us.
Then we had to make a script for an advertisement that would be filmed for the invention. The script showed an average person who was hungry but did not have any food. So he walked into a shop and the worker had just what he needed. He had the Micro-Zap. So the script said how to use it, what it does and so much more. We also showed an example by using cool ranch Doritos. And the person ended up buying the product.
In our video we had all kinds of shots. Close ups, establishing shots, medium shots, zooms, tilts, and pan. We tried making a variety of shots which worked out. We also kind of made our own shots by shooting in a unique way.
Now was the step that we shot our video. I would most definitely say with no doubt that this was the most fun step of all in the process. We got to go outside and take a video camera and act out our commercial according to the script. My group and I had so much fun.
In conclusion, What I have learned from this project is to work together and to have fun. Because I did have fun and I liked it. I hope I get a good grade for this project and it was a really good idea.

Totally absurd inventions

The Invisicloak

I’m Alex and I am the co-inventor of the Invisicloak. While working with Jacob we came up with the Invisicloak. On our blog page you can see our poster, thumbnail sketches, storyboard, and commercial.

My invention is the Inviscloak. The Invisicloak is a cloak that turns you invisible by refracting the light around you. With this invention you can pull awesome pranks on your friends or enemies. This incredible invention can be yours for $365.12 + Shipping and Handling and tax.

It was difficult to come up with an idea for our invention because Jacob and I both have different interests. It took us about 10 minutes to settle on the Invisicloak. We chose this idea because it was a mix of both of our interests.

This process has been long and difficult. After finally settling on an idea we then had to make thumbnail sketches that would be like mini-posters for our invention. The thumbnail had to include a picture, the name of the invention, what it does, and the price. Next, we made a poster for our invention. This was extremely challenging because Jacob was absent for three days in a row, but insisted that he should do the coloring because he was much neater and had good markers. So I was stuck doing nothing for three days. I think the poster came out good.

I wrote our script while Jacob was out. Our script described what our invention did, how much it costs, and why you should buy it. It also included a prank that you could pull on your friends or enemies with the Invisicloak.

I also did the storyboard while Jacob was gone. The first shot would be me putting on the cloak and becoming invisible. This was an establishing shot. Our next shot was me talking, but I was not in the picture because I had the cloak on and was invisible. This was also an establishing shot. The next shot was me pulling on Jacob he would spill his water, and then he thinks someone pushed him, then he realized no one was there. This was a pan shot. The next shot was me taking off the cloak after the prank. This was a medium shot.

The video was my favorite part. It was very windy and difficult to hear the person talking. To solve this we moved the person talking closer to the camera. We had to take at least 25 shots even though we only needed 5. I would have chosen a different day to shot when the weather was better.

I have really enjoyed this project. I have found that it is easier to work with a small group. Coming up with an invention is a long and difficult process, but it pays off in the end. I cannot wait to finish the project. Below is our storyboard, thumbnail, poster, and video.

PATENT FOR THE INVISICLOAK

ABSTRACT
The Invisicloak is a one of a kind product that turns you invisible. It refracts the light around you to make you invisible. It looks like an average robe that comes in many colors. This idea was chosen because it was a mix of both the inventors’ interests. It has three important parts the hood, jagged edges, and body. It also has many possible side effects.

CLAIMS
The Invisicloak can refract the light around you to make you invisible. This appears to be just your average cloak, but it has powers beyond its years. You will be able to turn yourself invisible whenever you want. You can pull a prank on your friends or enemies. It also has many other uses such as sneaking out, running around doing whatever you’re not supposed to do with no one noticing, and stealing something.

DESCRIPTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This is a piece of clothing that does much more than people think. It looks like an ancient medieval robe. It comes in black, white, or grey.

BACKGROUND
This was invented to give kids entertainment. It has many uses and features that would keep kids entertain for hours on end. This idea was chosen because it was a mix of both of the inventor’s interests. Both of us agreed that this would be a creative and useful product. This is a one of a kind invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This cloak turns you invisible the second you put it on. It was invented to keep kids entertained. The cloak won’t just work for anyone you need to believe it will work, and then you will see what it does. However, because you are invisible nobody else will see you. It has many uses that can entertain kids as well as adults (i.e. pranking a friend or enemy, automatically winning hide and go seek, sneaking around whenever you want, and anything else you should not be doing.) One of the most impressive parts of this is that if someone runs into where you are while you have the cloak on they don’t feel anything.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
That is the drawing of a fully assembled Invisicloak. The hood (fig. 1) is the most important part of the invention. It has the powers to turn you invisible. The body (fig. 2) is meant to fit snug tight on your body. The jagged edges on the arms and bottom (fig. 3) are used to try to keep only your body inside the cloak.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
There is nothing to compare this invention to. It is the first of its kind and most likely the last. It contains three important parts. The body of the cloak is meant to cover your body. The arms and bottom of the cloak are jagged to help the user put the cloak on and keep only the user in the cloak. The hood is the most important part of the cloak. The hood is what activates the cloaks powers. Once you put the hood on the cloak turns everything the cloak covers invisible. Hence, the cloak is meant to fit the user snug tight in order to ensure that no parts of nature go missing once the cloak is used. However, there are a few side effects to this product [i.e. invisible pants syndrome (invisible pants syndrome is when you take your cloak off and it appears that you have no pants on), lack of visibility when viewing other mammals, loss of brain syndrome, when you take off the cloak you appear to be missing a head, and many many more.] More specific instructions come with the product.

THE INVISICLOAK SCRIPT
Scene 1: Hi there, I’m Alex here to tell you about The Invisicloak. All you have to do is put it on and (pause until person wearing cloak is out of picture.) Just like that you are invisible. The Invisicloak refracts the light around you to make you invisible. You may not be able to see me, but I’m still here. You could use The Invisicloak to pull an awesome prank on your friends like this.
Scene 2: (random person is drinking a water bottle) Person wearing cloak: SHHHHHHH……. (Person drinking water spills water and gets mad as if someone knocked it over.)
Person drinking water: Hey! Who did that? Come back here. (Person then looks around, realizes no one is there, and then makes a confused face.)
Person wearing cloak (not in picture): With The Invisicloak you’ll be the prank master. This incredible invention could be yours for just $365.12 plus shipping and handling and tax. You’ll be the coolest kid in the school once they find out it’s you under the hood. (Person wearing cloak takes off hood.)
