This being the first time I've ever been to Capstones, it was a very interesting experience. I really enjoyed being able to see all of the hard work people put into their projects.
One big thing that I learned when going to the Capstones, was that I really need to get started on my project! Time is a blessing and a curse, I just need to realize that I need to start right away & not push it off. It was also really nice to hear that almost everyone changed something about their Capstone, I mean-- it will probably happen to me.
Also, having business cards, telling your friends and family to come, and just spreading the word is going to be something that I really focus on when giving my Capstone presentation.

Capstone Questions : N420 Final
For this Capstone Assignment, we interviewed three of the students presenting at the Capstone on Friday. We interviewed Jesse Praeuner, Kenny Van Velzen, & Santiago Casar -- all of which did an amazing job & had wonderful projects to present.
1. Why did you choose this for your capstone project?
- Jesse : Had no idea what he wanted to do, but decided he wanted to take a shot with it & write audio.
- Kenny : Has an actual entrepreneur dream to create an urban company & took the actual LLC, and used the dream of that. Then took my 3d skills and used them as well.
- Santiago : I'm applying to different jobs in LA & all of them seem to be asking for a reel roll. I thought it would be the most logical step.
2. What are some of the changes that you had to make between your original idea and what your are presenting today?
- Jesse : Nothing really.
- Kenny : My actual idea was to create a video, to show the company. But decided to go with more text and print & can be used for other means. I didn't want to sacrifice what the company actually was.
- Santiago : Changed the idea of what I was doing, I was doing a documentary. But changed it to the reel roll, so that was one change. Another one was the scope of it, but then realized that I wasn't going to be able to pull it off.
3. What is your opinion of the timeline for your capstone? Was it helpful or a waste of time? Why?
- Jesse : Wrong person to ask for that, I'm probably the worst procrastinator in the world.
- Kenny : I think its helpful, but you have to stick to your own plan no matter what.
- Santiago: Waste of time.
4. If you could change anything about your capstone, what would it that be?
- Jesse : Would have started working on it sooner.
- Kenny : Probably continue it more, and would have started earlier.
- Santiago : I would get a lot more feedback, from people and the faculty. Feedback can only make it better.
5. What advice would you give me in planning for my capstone?
- Jesse : Schedule yourself an easy semester for yourself, so you have more time to work on your capstone project.
- Kenny : Start right away.
- Santiago : The learning process, not so much the product. By investigating- I learned tons, it was like a class that I learned the most.
