The video has been a rough journey for me. At first I figured I'd just so something simple. Then I saw Gary's video and thought, I've got to do something cool like that. This meant I was going to need help. I can make and even edit a simple video, but to do the more complicated things I'd need some support. So I enlisted Gary to help!
At first I was a little stuck on what to do, I was having trouble coming up with neat ideas that weren't just a complete rip-off of his idea. Finally I came up with an idea; Carmen Sandiego. I would be one of the Gumshoes tracking her down, and the clues would be the parts of my research. But there was no way that I could figure how to get it down to 90 seconds, plus it was going to involve way to much time and money in terms of making and acquiring sets and wardrobes. So that idea was out. Then I struck on the idea of doing a Reading Rainbow spoof. It seemed perfect because my focus was reading engagement. I got a script and a storyboard laid out. I'd be happier if I could go longer to really flesh out the RR theme and format, but I feel like I've done a decent job getting it paired down.
The most difficult part has been coordinating schedules with Gary to get the work done. Since we're no longer at the same site we were reduced to meeting for lunch on short days. Then because we're so social we never got much work done! rrrrr. Although there's nothing like a hard deadline to inspire you to get to work. We're filming all my scenes this week and Gary will do the editing this weekend. So I'll be ready to go next week.
