Design Brief

Design Brief – Design and edit an instructional video to show advanced rod building techniques. - For this project I plan to construct a video that demonstrates what it takes to make a fishing rod from start to finish with oscillating guides. This video will be fully filmed and edited by myself, along with the construction of the fishing rod which will be done by me. At least one rod constructed in the video will have oscillating guides on it which means that the first three guides are set off center at 45◦ angles. This transfers the power that the fish pulls with to help keep the reel and rod upright in your hand, easing the strain on the fishermen. In the video I will be building two rods. They will both be heavy slow action made out of fiberglass from Jann's netcraft. One will have cork, the other foam. One will have oscillating guides with a split grip and the other will not. The butt wraps on the rods will be different from one another. This should give people a better perspective that rod building is not one set way every time.
