The help for Indiegogo says the video is the key to a successful campaign. So today I start the process of building the video. The new children of the sun website is live and there is an super welcome video by tiara with opening shots of the planet earth and lots of people coming together.
So I wonder if I can use the first opening sequence for this campaign. I also download the new logo. This is easy on a mac as you can take a screenshot of anything on the web, using the shift command 4 keys ( pressed all at the same time) then after measuring out what you want and pressing the enter key.
To download a YouTube video there are lots of apps - I have iskystudio.
So the set up that I am going to use is
iMovie as the software
Load photos via iPhoto so they are available in iMovie
Download you tubes with iskystudio and crop and trim using iMovie
I have an Olympus camera with a HD movie option. I need to buy a tripod.
Will take the video of me on my verandah when the sun is shining ( morning will work best)
Then we can use photos of skellig Michael, Stonehenge, etc and have a voice over
The voice over could be recorded using the iMac recorder or an Olympus recorder. Will need to check for sound quality
iMovie can upload directly to YouTube - the new account that I created a few days ago.
I do a test run, it all comes together and works. The iMac is running slower than normal. I wonder if it is because it is a few years old and more and more stuff on it, slows it down somehow. I wish apple would provide a mechanism for cleaning it up. Instead I may need to buy the mac speed cleaner.
I am running mac keeper anti virus. Maybe that is the culprit. So difficult to find out what it is doing. Rather like the body. One day we will be able to communicate directly with our bodies and find out what it needs to function at its optimum, ie what food to eat and when. What exercise is needed, when to go to sleep etc.
Maybe one day we will get the same control over computers.
