Physics of Sports, A field Goal.
In this project, my team created a video explaining the physics of a football field goal (a kick through the uprights) using multi-media, we used a video. To start off the project, my (at the time) two teammates discussed a sport storyboard, times, and made a script. The options were sprints, football, and soccer, and with 2/3s of us playing football, it really wasn't much of a debate. The first day summed up was what to do and how to do it! After that, things took a turn for the worse, a good chunk of northern California was in ashes, and it rained ash from time to time. We only went outside when absolutely necessary and still only for short amounts of time. A week later, the air was clear for a day and we got most of our shots, slow-mo and normal, from the front, back, sides, long distance, you name it, we took it! From those videos, we found the ball's velocity, height, and distance using him as a ruler known as "one Chris." My role quickly became the guy with the videos on storage and getting measurements to Christa. Chris handled stitching the video together and Christa handled the calculations and I'm not sure what Neco did. In the end, we had to scrap the script as it was awful and didn't include Christa as she joined later. Below is the finished product!
In this project, I learned how to deal with people who disagree. Even though we clearly disagreed on what sport we should chose, I buckled down and got to work!
