Week+5

7-6 7:53pm I'm sorry, I'm just getting a chance to check in with everyone. I used Adobe Premiere Elements and I should be able to add everything if we need to, I brought all of the software and hardware to finish up pending any potential errors. I'll hold off until I hear from you all and thanks again. Chris

7-6 12:31 I say we go with the video as it is. -Meredith

7-6 11:32 Here's the shot sheet with Jacey's name included and Chris's music citation. I downloaded the video into AVS editor to try and add the citations to the last slide but couldn't figure it out. It looks like their is a couple of seconds there. I like you don't want to bother Chris again. I'm not sure if he used a different program or what but I couldn't get it to let me add text there. Anybody have any ideas? or do we go as is. - Dawn

7-6 9:18 The girl's name is Jacey Harbin. Guys I'm really impressed how well this all came together! Thank goodness it's over. Meredith

7-6 8:06 Jenn your right, I added the copyright information to the music but didn't see the name of Meredith's student below. Meredith if you log in if you'll give me that info or update this sheet I think it will be complete unless anyone else sees anymore errors. Feel free to make changes. If we add the credits at the end we'll need to add that to the shot sheet as well. Jenn is it just the credits or group members names too? I think it looks great. Since Chris got us to right at a minute four we could just flash it quickly and be done. Thanks Jenn. Chris did an awesome job! - Dawn

7-5- 9:58, Chris!!! WOW! It really came together! Thank you everyone for your hard work, I am so impressed...I hope you all feel as though this was a successful project?! I certainly do! Dawn, thanks for looking at the shot sheet, my only suggestion might be that we need to include the name of the student that Meredith used for her clip and also name the song in copyright as Chris has it stated below. I also wondered about the credits at the end? I was looking at some of the other groups and they have their information at the end...did we need to have that on there? I can add that if need be since Chris is traveling but don't want to mess anything up. Other than than I think it looks great! ~ Jenn

7-5 6:41 Okay, I wanted to do something besides the quotes, I haven't done enough here. So I went ahead and updated the shot page based on Chris's hard work below. I hope that doesn't step on any toes. We can change it if we make any changes...I'm attaching it here. Dawn

7-5 6:02 alright, i've been trying to catch up, I was out of town for the 4th and just logged on. I think if I'm seeing right the narrations are now done. Would you guys like me to update the shot sheet for you and post it here? I'll be happy to do that. Are the citations supposed to be included at the end of the video message or just in our documentation, does anyone know? For our feedback, I like Jenn have been frustrated, It seemed very difficult to connect. We were never all logged on at the same time. Dawn

7-5-09 5pm Here's the link [] Here's how I had to work things out. >> Published by: Freeplaymusic, BMI, Freeplaymusic, BMI It's taken me an hour to get this posted so I'm not sure I have everything but let me know if you need anything else. I'm still looking for the exact link for the photo so I'll post it as soon as I get it. Let me know if we need to change anything - I hope you all like it.
 * I had to leave off some of the quotes to get things under 1 minute.
 * I used a photo from the Creative commons site but it was actually flickr
 * The music came from freeplaymusic.com here's the info on that:

4:27- Great Chris, I'll keep an eye out and we don't want to upset your wife...I'm one of those and I know it gets frustrating when we need you to pack! ;-) I'll change up the shot sheet and get it posted back on here this evening sometime, probably after my kids go down tonight. As part of our final assignment we also need to reflect about how we think we did on this PSA. Feel free to post your thoughts so that we can attach this as part of our final weeks assignment. I enjoyed this project but felt somewhat frustrated with not having anyone to talk to face to face. I have really had to change my learning style for these courses, this one being the hardest by far becuase we had to do everything via the web. I liked the process but became overwhelmed at times because there was no instant gratification with someone saying, "oh yeah, that's a good idea or no, I don't like that."~ Jenn

7-5-09 Jenn, that would be awesome. I'm actually going to finish up within the hour so I'd love for you to update the shot sheet since my wife has asked me 4 times to go pack. I'll get the video rendered and I'll post the link to the wiki hopefully by 5:30. I posted my phone number below so please give me a call if you have any questions. We're driving to Kerrville so I should be able to get calls. Thanks again everyone.

7-5-09- Chris, Are you sure there isn't anything else that I can do? Once you have the shots completed I would be happy to update the shot sheet an give that out to everyone for week 5, I think having Sebastian do some of the narration is a great idea!!! I bet he's doing a fantastic job! Let me know what you need so we can get this sucker turned in! ~ Jenn

7-5-09 Chris here is my video on [|youtube]. Let me know what else I need to do. Email or call me 214-762-5186.

7-5 2:15pm Update - I have the first 3 shots completed and edited so we're halfway there. My son and I are doing the narrations as we go so if you all are OK with that we can keep them otherwise if Jenn wants to do them and send them I can easily add them. It's coming together nicely and I should easily be done in time. Thanks for everything so far.

7-5 10:50am SUCCESS!!! I was able to pull the videos from YouTube and download them to Adobe Premiere Elements so if you have video that you haven't sent to me go ahead and upload to YouTube and let me know where I can pull it from. Dawn, if you'd like to go ahead and record the narrations and send me the MP3 files I can easily add them to the video. If anyone has questions please feel free to call me 469-878-9101. Thanks everyone.

7-4 6:29 p.m. Okay Troy, tried to emial them agian and it was a no go, not sure what's up so I am posting them to my YouTube account. My screen name is texasmomoftwo on YouTube and I have five different clips on there hoping that you can get what you need from them. Let me know if you can't get them to download to your home system. I guess what I need to know then is the final shot sequence so I can update that to have for us to send in on Monday before you leave Troy and it may be best if we have one voice on the PSA, Dawn, would you be interested in doing the narration? Thoughts?

7-4 Hey Troy, I am trying to send you my clips right now. If you don't tget them this way, I'll have to upload them to YouTube and have you go that direction. I am trying to send them from my Yhaoo account which I never use hoping that they will go through that way...they came back to me 4 times when I tried to send them a few days ago. I want to get you what you need so that we can go forward. ~ Jenn 7-4 I've just finally had a chance to check the wiki. My a/c went out on Friday and it has not been very fun to sit at home and work. I still do not have any video clips from anyone. For some reason I haven't been able to download the one that I received from Meredith earlier in the week. You can send them to chjohnson@irvingisd.net when you get them. I'm going on vacation but not until Monday and I'm having a new a/c unit installed tomorrow (Yeah air!!! Boo to the debt!!!) Once I receive all the videos I'll cut/paste/edit whatever I need to. As far as the narration is concerned feel free to record them and send your narration with your video. Just make sure they are saved as an MP3 and I can easily upload them to the video.

7-1 Chris, I sent my serious last try a few hours ago. It showed up in my sent box that it actually delivered correctly. If not, do you want me to try to find some online footage.

I can also send my voice doing a quote or two. We should all probably have our voice some where on the video. Maybe?

I hate for Chris to do more than his share. We've got to get this together some how? Do you think it would be helpful to talk on the phone?

It's so hard during the summer. I am leaving Friday, but will have all my resources and maybe more with me, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to help. Meredith

7-1 Okay Chris I just sent it to you. If it doesn't work this time I will try youtube. Sorry. Meredith

7-1 On the videos please try and get them saved as windows media files. That would give us the easiest format to use. Also, if you can get the video on youtube, I can easily convert youtube videos. Meredith, I can just use what you did get and we'll go from there. Please let me know when you are sending your video, just to make sure I receive it in a format I can use. Thanks everyone!!

6-30-09

Okay I'm starting to freak out just a little bit. Chris I just sent you a 30 second video clip. I didn't have permission from my summer school kiddos. So I used a teachers child with permission. Please let me know what all I need to do. Hopefully we can get this done and have a nice 4th of July weekend. Meredith

6-31 Chris what can I do to help......Is there enough video? Do we need to incorporate any photos? Let me know guys? Dawn

7-1 Just talked with Jennifer. She is on her way home from Mexico. She said to let everyone know she will post video of her son tomorrow morning. Meredith

7/2 Sorry, I was out of town yesterday. Are the videos working out? Are we just going to do narration or do we need to think about any music to add to the video as well. I could look for that if we need it. My number is 806-367-1269 Please tell me what I can do to help.. Dawn

7/2- Okay Troy, I just emiailed you yhr shots of Andrew. I hope that one or the other or a combination will work for you. If not, please let me know that the shot doesn't work or that you can't download them and I'll retry. I am so sorry they are so late, it completely slipped my mind as I was getting ready for my trip. What else do we need? Troy, what else can we do to help?--Jenn 7/2 at 2:00- Troy just tried to email the clips to the email that Meredith forwarded to me, chjohnson @irvingisd.net, they came back as undeliverable...can you send me the right one or another one I can try?

7/2 I checked and that's the e-mail address I have for Chris. I e-mailed him earlier to see what I could do to help but haven't heard back yet. My e-mail wasn't returned. You might just try sending again, I guess. Dawn
