This is the final week of Genius Hour. This was probably our worst week for productivity. We did not really do anything. We got Mr. Barker into one of our videos. He was shredding the guitar so go check out that video. We could not get together because everyone was doing things and because of the holidays.
I feel like we could have managed our time better and actually got things done. We needed to put more work into this week and many others. Genius Hour was very fun I enjoyed it. I just wish we would have actually met our goal. Thank you for reading!

Genius hour week number eleven has come to an end. One more week left in genius hour and then project is over and it will be time for presentations. Man has time flew by for this project. I honestly feel like we have just started. Us also not even being anywhere near our goal also makes it feel like we have not been doing it for that long. When I tell you we have been sucking at becoming Tik Tok famous this whole time, I mean it. My blog post is a little late this week because we did not do anything this week until Sunday, that was the only day we could get together and at 3:30 and we did not finish till after 5 so that is why my blog is late.
So we all got together at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. We had a video set out to make prior to getting together. We call this one the coke and mentos, it is where you put mentos into a bottle of diet coke and then shake it up. After you shake it up than you throw it into the air and let it hit the ground then, BOOM it blows up and goes flying. So we all meet and go to food lion and buy some diet coke and mentos than we head to Evan's house to throw them into the air. Yeah, Evan's house did not go so well so we decided to go back to Food Lion and get the 6 for $10 deal. Than we all went to Daniel's house and we went on the roof of his house to get more height under our throws. First time I had ever been on a roof like that and it was pretty cool if i say so myself. The hardest part about this was getting the mentos into the bottle of coke without the coke going everywhere. Jake and I got soaked by that happening to us. We had a couple good throws. None of our throws really went high and had a huge explosion. Except for this one throw. Probably one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed. We get the coke ready to throw and we hand it to Daniel. His mom is in her driveway watching us. Daniel throws the coke and it explodes and looks like it is going right for her. So she decides to start running backwards then BAM she falls and everyone starts laughing. Funny thing is we got it on video and you should go check it out. Thank you for reading my blog! It is officially week 10 of genius hour, that means that there is only 2 weeks left!!!!!!! Right now at this point in the project we would have never thought we would be where we are right now. We are not doing good at all. We are not even close to 10% of the way to the goal that we set before we started. This project is way harder than any of us had predicted it would be. It is so difficult for all of us to get together and make good quality videos.
This week we posted two videos that we had saved up. We tried to get together this weekend and make videos but I could not because I was in Florida. Daniel also could not because he had baseball. So it was only Jake and Evan that could make videos together. Everyone has different schedules and you do not know when and who could get together and make videos. For us to actually meet the goal we set we have to do so much with the little time we have. We have to crank out a bunch of videos and they all have to be good and funny. For some reason some of our videos just have not got a lot of views and when they do get a lot of views, we do not gain followers from them. We seriously need help from you guys!!!! We really have struggled with this project the whole time. You guys giving us ideas will help us so much!!!! Thank you for reading. Genius hour week number nine is finally over. We are no where near the goal that we set for this project. As of right now it is not looking good at all. We have posted many good videos but they have not gotten any fame at all. We went to dicks to make some videos and just mess around.
We have a lot of videos saved up from extra one's that we did not post in the past. We can just post one right after the other and just spam posts to see if that would get us anywhere. We always get together on weekends and try to make videos but we never have any ideas. We really need help with ideas. Please if any of you guys have any ideas could you please suggest them. We have some good ideas saved up, but for some reason we just do not go through with the videos and make them. All four of us could not get together and make videos together. It is so difficult to come up with good ideas and actually get together to make the videos. Please help and send us good ideas. Genius hour week number eight has officially ended. There are four remaining weeks left in genius hour and our group has to do some serious work. Our whole group thinks that we have set the goal for our project way too high. So we changed a few things. We changed the name to our TikTok account which is now "ebcodansteak" which is the nicknames we go by. Also we changed our profile picture to a huge picture of all of us dressed up in costumes.
This week genius hour was moved to Friday. We only got one video out Friday which we all thought was pretty cool. It uses all four of us and we make a square with our bodies. One person would be lying down on a chair and the other one would put their head on their legs and so on. Than someone would move the chair out from under the first person and we all would be using one another to stay up. We got this idea from TikTok because it has been a trending video for awhile now. Due to the lack of videos out, we had to post one that we made awhile ago that we had saved. That one actually did decent compared to some of our others and got somewhere around a thousand to two thousand views. Only if all of our videos did that good AT LEAST! This project has become very frustrating and difficult for all of us. We have made some very good quality videos and they just have not deserved the clout and attention that they got. We still need your help guys! Give us any ideas and suggestions we are literally taking anything. Please give us a follow and check out all of our videos!!!!! @ebcodansteak It is officially week number seven of our genius hour project. Looking at what we have done up to now I do not like. I would have thought we definitely would have more followers than we do now. We are still so far away from our goal and time is ticking. It is so hard to get famous on TikTok. I feel like the content we have been posting on our account has been good content. Then I go and look at the videos that have gotten famous and they are not good at all. It is just a big game of luck.
This week we tried to change up our videos. Since we all have been seeing that the videos where you do not put forth that much effort to create, get famous. So we attempted to not put forth as much effort as we have been. But shocker, it did not work either. At this point it is seeming impossible to become famous. But we will not give up and we are going to keep working at it until we achieve our goal. On Wednesday we sat down and made probably the easiest videos that took the least amount of effort to make. The videos we made were so simple. All we did was show our face in one of the videos and did not move. Then for others we just basically did the same thing except we added some music and mouthed the words. We made a couple and we have a few saved up. Whenever we feel like posting a video we can simply just go into our saved and post those. Which we did today. All four of us definitely are surprised by this project we chose. We all thought that we could make a couple videos and become famous. We thought it was going to be very easy and fun. It is pretty fun and all but it is so much more work than we thought. So please help us come up with ideas and feel free to give us any. Thank you for reading!!!!!!!!!! It is officially genius hour week number six. This week was somewhat a good week. We did not have any time on Wednesday to really work on genius hour or make any videos. Everyone in our group was too busy with the mask project that was currently going on during class. All we had time to do in class was come up with one video idea. We even got Mr. Barker in this week's video.
The video this week was called "The Boys Glow ups". I got everyone to send me a picture of them when they were a child and a picture of them now. We picked out a sound to go along with the video as well. Then we got Mr. Barker to take a selfie and we got a baby picture of him off of his mom's Instagram. After all of that we had to get a video of all of us all together before we started to make and edit the video.Like I said, we did not have any time to actually make and edit the video at all during class. After school had ended, I had to edit, and make the video myself. Everyone else in the group helped me come up with the titles we had for every person we were doing the video on. Since we are out of school Monday, everyone in our group was thinking that we needed to get together on our own time, and make videos. We really feel like we need to be making more videos than we currently are. We know that we have to get together on our own time to become famous. Monday night we all will be together so, we all were thinking that we get together before, and make some videos. Hopefully one of the videos we make will get on the ForYou page and get us famous!!!! Thank you for reading my blog. If you have any suggestions or ideas for our videos please tell us. It is officially genius hour week 5. I feel like we are starting to pick up on things and really make good videos. This week we have really started to improve our videos. We decided that it is easier to make the videos for our TikTok account outside of school and on our own time when everyone can get together. By doing this I really think that it will improve our chances of obtaining our set goal that we have for our project.
