Hey Nicholas, Thanks for the feedback. Will have to figure what's the best way to go with this thing.
And - no - the video isn't meant to sit next to the Dragon. The Dragon is probably going to go on Exhibit at a Pop-up type museum here in NYC next month. The Video is really meant to tell people about the Dragon - and what work went into it. I will also be putting it on the website/blog for my Prototyping work - although - I still have to do the Blog deal - as you may have seen in my previous e-mail thread. Also - as I mentioned in the end of the video - I may just possibly try to sell it on Ebay at some point - so, this is also a way I hope to gain some interest in this project. Also - I do agree - it probably should be shortened... Thanks for taking the time to watch it! -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicholas Geti Sent: Monday, October 22, 2012 11:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] Dragon - a HUGE Rapid Prototyping Project & a Video for Review... 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt Wendt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2012 10:09 AM 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).
