Not much happened this week as far as documentary progress. We did however design some of the post production materials. Nick and I worked on the poster, John worked on the dvd cover, and Aaron created the flyer. They turned out pretty well, but John is still finishing his up. We need to make some of the tshirt designs this weekend, and print off a couple more of the flyers to post up. It is also on the agenda to put some final touches on the documentary for Tuesday.

For some reason a few things messed up when rendering it out, I'm workin' on it.

Just finished up the flyer for Are you Addicted. Not sure how it's going to look printed, so I'll probably change the background color from black.

We have made a lot of progress on our documentary. We have done all of our voice overs and pieced the entire movie together. I believe we can officially call it a final rough cut, all we need is criticism from viewers. John has had a lot of trouble rendering the movie in premier but said that he got it saved off as an iso and attempted to burn it to a dvd this morning. I don't know how that went but hopefully it succeeded so that we will have a dvd form of the movie for the showcase tomorrow.

One of the promotional materials we were thinking of using were some live action fights randomly around campus using the GOLARP group to help promote the movie. We could have promotional poster flyers to hand out as people stop to watch them beat the crap out of each other. These flyers would have the time, place, and also allude slightly to what the film is about, but not too much. I'm thinking of a "want to see more? come check this out" kind of thing.

Here's the link to the introduction we made. We also spent time polishing the rough cut quite a bit, however I didn't have time to get it rendered out and uploaded to youtube yet.

All we need to do still is record voice overs and create a conclusion of some kind. We're definitely on the home stretch of finishing this, it's turning out to be quite epic.

1) A keyboard with keys broken off of it (this applies to the video of the crazy kid at the end of our documentary)

2) Old NES cartridge with the title of our documentary on it ... this would be much harder to do than to break a keyboard though

3) We could do things like on that cafepress website (shirts, hats, and whatnot)

I'm not quite sure what else we would do or if that is sufficient.

For your documentaries, try uploading the video to www.vimeo.com unstead of utube. You get nicer quality (vimeo supports HD), and longer run times than utube. plus, a nicer, less cluttered interface for the video. Can be embedded just like utube, and supports an api for the service. Try it out.
