Okay Psy, why the fuck have you not already taken the best 10 minutes of video you have and made it into a Youtube-digestible chunk suitable for the general population of America?

MASS MARKET APPEAL, ASSHOLE!


Would you like to help edit?  One condition: you must blur out student's faces.  Staff, on the other hand, should be carefully labeled.  Sorry for the delay, I've been busy with various homeworks this week and unexpected happenings.

Ok.  So here's a second little taste.  It's by far not the best stuff I got, but I figure I'll make you wait for the good stuff. :D  I'm going to meet up with Ginger this weekend and get her input on some stuff, then I'll post some more.  The fully edited (probably about an hour or so) DVD will be released as an .iso on bittorrent.  You can also order DVDs from me if you're not techincally inclined with bittorrent and/or don't have a DVD burner.  I'll post details on that when I'm ready.  If i'm quiet this week it's because I'm probably slaving over Final Cut.

Your teaser is undownloadable. When are we going to see the video of the four squad cars, helicopter and blimp?

good raw stuff, psy. One suggestion: audio levels are too low. Ignore if you know this already. I know how frustrating it can be to show an unfinished piece to other people, so I appreciate it.

Just a tip, little buddy. For someone in the English teachers market, you are expected to know how to spell.

"I'm currently on vacation and won't be avaliable till the 5th of January. I'm looking for either a public school position or a hogwon that offers no more than 25 teaching hours a week for 2.1 million with 2 weeks paid holiday a year.

Again, I am NOT avaliable till the 5th of January."

You see, I'm not all bad.

But you seem to have a real problem with people not paying enough attention to you.  Even though you have nothing helpful to say.

Oh, yes. I do not slander total strangers behind what is not a safe veil of anonymity. But that's just me.

@psy - this clip was far more viewable than the previous one (probably because it was quite a bit shorter?)  Some comments...

Very creative!  Really liked the way you blurred students' faces (X-high contrast in  green of the negative), the occasional (and simple) text explanations, etc.  Concur with Castle re. volume.  I had difficulty reading the case files superimposed at one point; perhaps focusing in on the portions you highlighted for most of the duration that they are on screen might help, then zooming out to show what the document is...  Or perhaps full-screen doc, then zoom in, hold for awhile, then zoom out again.  I think you tried to do that, but the sequence was not consistent and that might confuse people.  Also:  you might want to have a brief explanatory paragraph accompanying the clip (for people to read) to set the scene for those not in the know.  E.g., was this at the motel where ostracized kids get placed to prevent their contaminating the brainwashing attempts at Benchmark proper?

All in all, I'm very very impressed.  Thanks for sharing that with us.

@ psy:  Maybe also some more survivor/inmate footage to help underscore the personal impact.  I realize that the actual circumstances of this YLF visit to Benchmark may have precluded more of that than would be hoped for.  Perhaps even some small snip of footage of you being interviewed intercut with the rest of the material might be helpful?
