OT: new video to share

The Academic Integrity video I spent the summer working on has finally been posted on our college server. It's a WMV file in streaming format only. The video runs apporx. 9 minutes and, with the exception of Photoshop for some graphics and the liripipe animation (Maya), was done entirely in Vegas.

Mike, it looks very professional and polished. I understand that it's a streaming video, but there was a few places I wished I could have paused and gone back a few frames to check things out. I hit stop about 2 minutes into it and it started over, so it's sort of frustrating to give feedback. But it looks great.

rs170a, a very nice video on academic integrity. Something similar should be done for JrH and high school students, let them learn early than later. The only thing I would suggest you should redesign is the graphics, less bouncing around on key words.

But the real test is, does the boss like it?

Maybe design a 1 or 2 minute short ( from your work) also for inhouse video boardcast.

If you can't pause, move forward or backward, then it is not streaming video.

Thanks for the comments folks.

n19093 was right. It's not a streaming video. My mistake as that's what I had asked for - but you don't always get what you want :-(

If you really want to go back and check a few things, you'll have to wait for it to finish playing and then do a search in your Temp directory.
It's titled AcademicIntegrity-320x240.wmv

To apit34356, this is a concept that needs to be taught starting at the elementary school level. I've got kids in Gr. 2 & 6 and I can tell you that their sense of morals and values is instilled at a very early age.
It was shown to senior management and all faculty last week and everyone seemed to be impressed. They key will be what the students think of it when they see it as they're the target audience.
