media type="custom" key="4043201" Rough Cut #1

media type="custom" key="4038869" This isn't our video, but I liked the information they gave...-cindy-

Great video Cindy - little kids can be very persuasive! I like the information that they showed as far as phone numbers and such...I think I would rather see it all at the end, though - when it was on the screen with the kids, I was more focused on them than on what the actual words were saying at the bottom. What do you think? - jackie I agree, I liked the persuasiveness (if that's a word!)... I just went on youtube and was watching any booster seat videos, and I wanted to try to upload one so I would know how when Vicky uploads ours to youtube... very easy! -cindy-

Let's use this space to keep track of what's going on...

I think I have everything we need. I think the green screen thing will be too hard. I suggested to Cynthia if yall can do the audio, the voiceovers and find the music, and then the graphics that I could edit it together. I am not really sure how to get the video to yall. We'll need the voice over to say "This is Sullivan" "He is a five and a half year old super hero" "But even he needs protecting" and then a graphic that says what we want at the end "Mom's protect your superheroes" or whatever we want it to say. We'll also need some superhero sounding music. I think my rough cut is around 40 seconds. Let me go see what I have uploaded to youtube. Vicky

I think the Youtube video will be enough for now. Cindy once you upload it into Youtube, could you embed it on this page? It would help me get the feel for the music. -Jennifer

That sounds like a plan. Jennifer and Cindy: I could work on that today (Friday) if one or both of you are available - just let me know. Jennifer has Garageband - it is really cool! Should the graphic at the end reference the website for the law?--Jackie

We can get together Monday if you would like. I don't mind doing the voice part. I can make the music in Garageband over the weekend, so it will be ready next week.- Jennifer Sounds good to me Jennifer

Also, we need to go to EDLD 5363 WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT PAGE and note any changes - probably in red - that we do to the shot list or what not as this is the documentation we need for week 5 assignment. Thanks. Jackie

Yeah, the graphic should say whatever catchy slogan we want, like "mom's protect your superheroes, keep them in booster seats until they are 8" then reference a website that has more info? I'll give yall a good idea this afternoon how long the video is so you can get the music going. We have all next week too. -Vicky

You're right, we do still have next week. At the risk of sounding totally clueless - the graphic at the end, is that like a slide from a power point or something done in paint? Thanks for clarifying! - Jackie

Not clueless at all. You can do it like that, or just a jpeg image, or I can just type the words over some graphic. I just reshot the video, I really didn't like what I had before, and this came out much better. The rough cut is about 48 seconds (without the ending screen). So, for now, the voice overs that I need are : "This is Sullivan" "He is a five and a half year old" pause "Superhero" (he'll be spinning around into a superhero here). "Mom's, always protect your superheroes" "Leave them in a booster seat until age 8" Also, need one that is a mom saying 'Sullivan, lets go!"

Sounds great! I'm anxious to get this going. -Jen

Vicky - we will definitely take care of the voice overs, music and graphic. Cindy and Jennifer: we can get together Monday anytime after 4...that still gives us plenty of time to get it all together (or make any changes) before the due date. - Jackie 

This sounds great. Vicky, have you uploaded it to youtube? If so can you post the URL or email it to me? I'll look up some graphics see what I find, and I can definitely meet Monday after 4. Not a problem! -cindy-

Cindy, I sent you an email with my address - Jackie The graphic at the end is perfect- plain and simple. I have finally uploaded the video (my parent's internet is ridiculously slow, and the video is LARGE). Anyway, its processing now, then I'll post the link. Thanks for being patient!!! Vicky

Hey Vicky - no worries! I do look forward to seeing it, though...I am sure it is great! Thanks for all of your hard work - especially with everything that is going on. Jackie...this wiki drives me CRAZY! I can't get the dumb thing to let me change colors - so annoying!

[] Here's the link to the ROUGH edit. Please keep in mind that it is ROUGH!!!! :) Let me know what you think. We may want to add words in the middle, we'll see. Vicky

Hi Vicky...when I went to the link I got a message that said this video is private...is there something I am supposed to do to be able to access it? I think I am youtube illiterate as well! Jackie

OOPS, sorry, it isn't private anymore.

No problem...I like it! I think when we edit it all together, it will look great. Maybe it's my old ears, but I had a liitle bit of a hard time understanding Sullivan. I'm thiking that since I knew what he was supposed to say, it helped me figure out that that was what he was saying...does that make sense? But he did a great job - I like his enthusiasm! I know when we made up the shot list, we just picked random places for him to run, e.g. hallway, kitchen, garage...so when we are editing the video, we will go back and make changes to the shot list to reflect where he did actually run. I am going to look at it again - after I look at the shot list - and just double check that we are covered with enough footage. I am thinking that if we decide we need to add more, you could just do some separate video clips and upload that as well? Okay, here I go...please know that I am not being critical - I am just going by what we have read, that more is better. =) I do really appreciate all of your work and time. Jackie

Okay, nevermind...I can understand him - he makes me laugh - too cute. So, after looking at the shot list and then the video again, I think we are okay - I mean less than 60 seconds is a short time, but with editing...I don't know. Did I mention this was the first time I have ever done anything like this and that I am wishy washy?! Jackie

I have more video I can add in, I was just thinking by the time we added any kind of intro and ending, it would get close. Plus, most commercials are 30 seconds. I watched alot of videos as the adcouncil's website. They have some great ideas!! -Vicky

[] Here's some with a few special effects in it. I also think we might want to add in another voiceover when he is running outside that says something like "even on his biggest adventures of saving the world, he needs a little extra protection" What do you think? I think it would tie it all together.Vicky

Hi Vicky. I like the effects...it's a good place to start. Question...again, showing my ignorance....I am trying to save the video to my computer to load it into an editing program and I can't seem to do it. It keeps coming across as an html. Is there something I am missing? I sent it to myself in an email and tried 'saving target as' and it hasn't worked. Since we will be working on further editing on Monday, I hope I (we) can figure this out! Thanks for your help!--jackie

Ooop! My mistake...I forgot that all we were doing on Monday was the music, graphics and voice overs...disregard my last question, please - jackie

Hi Vicky. I LOVE the spin! It looks really good =). And the lightening bolts look cool too - I like them better than the wavy effect. I think that it is really coming together. We are getting together tomorrow around 4 to work on sound, etc. We will let you know when we have things together. Talk to you soon - jackie.

Here's the footage I took this morning. I am having a hard time getting Sullivan in the same shot as the light switch, and I don't really know what yall want me to shoot for the opening location shot you are talking about. Let me know if this makes a difference and if you can work with it. -Vicky
