Mini Art School Part 4

I definitely had a lot of fun with the 60 second video which you can see below. Also I can authoritatively say that while it's a huge pain to learn and it takes much longer to export files, I am super way more happy with Lightworks than I was with Filmora. Though seriously, it takes a very long time to export files. That's the main reason I'm posting this so late, some things popped up in the exported file that I had to go back and edit before re-exporting... several times. But since I'm really happy with the end result it's all good. (Edit: Ahahaha... so it does not take super long to export. I was just exporting 29 minutes of blankness which meant a 30 minute video over and over and over again. *facepalms*)






As for my story board, I'm still working on that, but it goes something like the following:

1. People looking at a swingset thoughtfully, titled, "Finding something interesting to examine"

2. People jumping from the swings with a tape measure on the ground. "Observational Experiments"

3. People with pen and paper. "Form a Hypothesis."

4. People strapping on padding and weights. "Design an Experiment to Test Hypothesis"

5. Nailing a stake in the ground at a certain point. "Use Hypothesis to Make Prediction"

6. Person midair with large question mark. "Reflect on How Well Hypothesis Held Up"

The above storyboard layout is representative of how the students will be making their projects as opposed to what I will be doing this semester. My end of things is almost a test drive of showing how this could be done for a group. Incidentally, do please let me know if I'm way off base about how that's supposed to go.

  1. Hahaha your 60-second video is wonderful. I love that you credited the cats (especially "cat that showed up"). I also like the overall concept of media users as cats. You clearly demonstrate they don't like to be forced into things, but if you can use the right blend of media and "spice," you can bring them to you. Awesome job Chad!

  2. Loved your 60-second video! I use the term "herding cats" a lot, as well as "trying to nail jello to a tree". This was very effective, and I think it would be a great way to teach the importance of effective marketing or advertising.

    The descriptions of your story boards look intriguing...I look forward to seeing the final product!

  3. Chad, I like how creative your video is. I definitely sends a precise message to the audience. For your story board I was wondering what were some of your objectives or goals for the storyboard. I really thought your video was extremely entertaining and the audio played a huge part in the overall effectiveness of the video.

    1. Esther, I will be honest, I am wondering what the objectives and goals of my storyboard are too. My understanding of what storyboards are for and my understanding of this project are not really compatible with each other. My understanding of a storyboard is that it outlines a video. So I tried thinking what a documentary of someone doing this project would look like and did a storyboard for that.

  4. Hi Chad!

    I really enjoyed your video. It was super adorable and entertaining! I love how you used the "audio" element as the sound of the treat bag to get their attention. I'm glad to hear that you used Filmora and were happy with it. Your final product definitely looks great!

    1. No Ashleigh, I made this with/out/ Filmora. Filmora is really nice in some regards, but I hate it for the way it incessantly asks me to get a license and insists on a huge watermark that is obnoxiously plastered over the whole video. This was made with Lightworks which is less intuitive, but which I like /so/ much better.
