The final of #5MinPitch was successfully held, an event where the best projects from our students in the #GraphicDesign, #ProductDesign, and #MediaProduction programs are showcased.
After several virtual editions, #TheFinalPitch returned to an in-person format, where students Alfonso Chaw and Paolo Porras won the award for the best FADCOM project with their audiovisual work on the legend "El Tintín."
During the event, participants demonstrated their creativity by presenting innovative projects in their respective fields of study. Master’s graduate Luis Rodríguez delivered the opening remarks for the event, which began with the Graphic Design presentations.
Angie Quimis and Suanny Chaguay presented the project "Huellas que Suman," a graphic campaign aimed at promoting the participation of women in research at ESPOL. Similarly, Renata Bazurto showcased the project "Guayaquil, Centro a Pie," which involves designing a pedestrian guidance system for downtown Guayaquil.
From the Product Design program, Kevin Guadamud and Jenniffer Kuontay presented their project "Llangaventura," an educational game that supports therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In the following group, Melany Sánchez and Carlos Anchundia introduced their project "FLORA," a smart planter that uses sensors to inform users about the plant's condition via a mobile app.
In the Media Production area, Claudia Holguín and Yuliana Molina showcased the process behind the creation of "Wayta," a stop-motion animated short film exploring the theme of the relationship between life and death. Finally, students Alfonso Chaw and Paolo Porras presented the method they used to produce a web series aimed at preserving the Ecuadorian legend of "El Tintín."
After the scores were tallied from the jury's evaluation, Chaw and Porras were awarded the prize for the best project of the 5 Minutes Pitch, which includes a module from FADCOM’s master's programs.
