Engineering is a discipline which affects the whole world around us, influencing younger audiences to be part of the ever-growing industry is increasingly important.\u00a0 The team immediately started the brainstorming process and reviewing ideas and watching attempts by previous students. We decided that for our video to really capture people\u2019s imagination, we needed to think a little out the box.<\/p>\n<h2>The big idea<\/h2>\n<p>A couple\u00a0of meetings later we had everything organised; props we would need, locations to film, a full storyboard including script, and a couple\u00a0of actors. The actors weren\u2019t hard to convince, they were socks after all. Within a couple hours, we exhausted ourselves filming the production, being a sock was harder than we thought. We spent the next few days recording voice-overs, sourcing music, and editing. It\u2019s safe to say that we would do it all again, we had plenty of laughs during the process. It was also great to see such positive reactions to it, we were absolutely thrilled to win.<\/p>\n<h2>Top tips for next year\u2019s entrants<\/h2>\n<p>Think outside of the box and don\u2019t be afraid to try something a bit quirky, you might end up learning new. Also, communication with your team and good organisation are always helpful, especially since the project is during the first few weeks and there are lots going on. Most importantly of all, make sure to have lots of fun making it, it\u2019ll show on the finished product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors:\u00a0Alan Joshy, Jack Hardy, Thomas To, Tabitha Reynolds and Owain Thomas - Why is engineering for everyone?
