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.
