As I take the next steps in creating my capstone video, I appreciate reading the resources and seeing examples. I enjoyed 9 Insider Tips for Creating a Killer Explainer Video and Learning Through Visuals. I have struggled with video length a bit and have heard about the same struggle from others. How is it that I say all the things I need to say and have it be humorous, professional and engaging while keeping it under 90 seconds. I found this graph made an impact on me as I was struggling with the length of my script: No video length will ever insure that your viewer will remember everything; however, the shorter it is the more the audience will actually watch. Keeping it within 90 seconds also really helped me to focus on what it important as I lay out my website. The other element that I struggled with a bit is how to balance some things such as humor and professionalism and information with intrigue. I am not sure I am there yet, but as I edit and get feedback I would like that to be something that I focus on. The last comment I have is how do we make sure that when people go to our website that this video is seen as the introduction to our site? How can we be creative in getting people to watch the video? I am looking forward to receiving feedback and refining my work as I move forward in creating my video.

That graph really is a good one. I wonder what that would look like 15-20 years ago. Your point is a good one. How do you say everything you have to say, make it funny and engaging, and keep it under 90 seconds? This assignment was much more challenging than I thought originally it was going to be. I'm sure that whatever you decide to create will be awesome.

Wow! Kendra with the graphic in the blog! Nice! I do agree with everything you say. It's difficult to try and "balance" everything we want to do with keeping inside the guidelines. it seems like a lot of us want to be super innovative but difficult to do at the moment. I am sure that with some critical friends and feedback we will get a product that we are happy with. Almost there!

I also found the "9 tips" article helpful very helpful for creating a video. The challenge is to sort through which information is more important than other information to incorporate into the video in 90 seconds or less. Feedback from our peers has been very helpful. I can't wait to see what your final video will look like.
