Depends on what you are trying to achieve. If the video is to accompany your
sculpture then eliminate your voice introduction. Too many words. Too much
detail about yourself, why you are doing it and what is the World's fair.
Much too much detail about each piece of the structure as you are putting it
together. You only have a few seconds to grab people's attention for a
video; not 25 minutes worth. Do you want to show the sculpture or how you
made it? The 3D machine may be more interesting to people. There are lots of
instructional videos for 3D machines on the web that are interesting; you
may want to borrow some ideas. Also see some videos on lathe and mill work.
They are also useful too.
How about a time-lapse type of video showing the dragon as it grows
accompanied by dramatic sounds.
If you visit museums that have video consoles in front of the exhibits, you
will see hardly anyone watches them for more than a few seconds.

Subject: [NF] Dragon - a HUGE Rapid Prototyping Project & a Video for
Review...
Hey there Pro-Foxers!
As many of you probably know from a previous posting of mine - I've been
doing rapid prototyping at home with my MakerBot over this past year.
Well, recently I was accepted into the World Maker Faire held in NYC
last month (I was accepted in the end of August). So - for the Faire - I
decided I wanted to make something REALLY BIG - but, made up from parts
that I assemble together. I chose to do a Chinese Dragon.
I'm still working on it - its over 4.5 feet long. But, I am producing a
"Making Of..." video about my work on the Dragon. This is the 1st video
- the 2nd video will be done after I complete the building of the
dragon. And - FYI - I actually used VFP for a part of the project - and
that is discussed in the Video - which I think people here may find
interesting.
I would like to get some feedback on the video. You see - I'm worried
the video may be too long - and I may need to shorten it. Also, I want
to make sure its entertaining - as well as educational. Currently its
about 25 min long. And, I know folks on the Web have a short attention
span. I may even consider doing a short/abridged version - then have an
alternate long version - that's goes more in-depth.
But - for this version that's currently on YouTube, I'd like to find out
what people find interesting, what parts people think I should trim
down, also, if there is any really obvious problems - like Gaps in the
video - I want to know about it. So - I appreciate ANY Feedback people
can give me.
Once I have the final version ready - I want to try and make the video
go Viral on the Web!
Lastly - this is NOT the final version of the Video - so, at this point
I'm not giving out the link to many people - and I would prefer people
didn't pass this link around yet. Once I have the final version - then I
would LOVE it if people could pass the link on and help me make it go
viral. I hope that those of you that take the time to view it - will
find it entertaining.
