Elevator Pitch!!!!

Session 5 :

No it does not mean giving a speech while going up in an elevator. Though this may be the impression that some of you may have if you've watched some of the videos on Youtube. You may have though what the hell is this????

So let me tell you what an elevator pitch is(Im not bragging that Im Miss know it all but my knowledge on the subject has increased since I started working on it as a project assignment for this course. Its basically a short narration of your idea, brief enough to be able to communicate while travelling up in a lift and comprehensive enough.

Interesting I think, calls for a great deal of precision as well as the ability of good communication.Conveying an idea in few words(mind all you talkative people...there isn't any blowing of hot air here!)

So, my elevator pitch, technologically "neat".Minh Nhat and I thought of our friendly e-traveller friend e-Scort!!! sweet.......your buddy on your holiday escapades....... we display our technical skills(both of us are computer engineers after all)

So here it goes task 1, learn flash, task 2 learn movie maker(now that should be interesting).We did that.Then we thought of a cool presentation idea that would express our idea with as few words as possible. So we did that.We looked for online videos which we recorded and cropped and used moviemaker to integrate them.We also used flash for the rest of our presentation and integrated frames made in it again using moviemaker and to top it all, we put in good music.

So it was ready and quite n impact it made in the class I must say....we had everything there but oops! who will talk about the value proposition ? so we were asked to edit it and now the final version is posted on you tube.You can watch it at :

The other idea that I specially liked was Neo's idea and their presentation which was a recording was done pretty well.

A brief mention of what my e-Scort is.Well introducing an element of fun and learning into travel, e-Scort uses a website to assist the user before travel and finally a mobile interface linked to wi-fi offering services through local operators at the toursit place.Our proof of concept will provide details and you will finally know all implementation details by the end of the semester in our business proposal.
