During the summer of 2007 I covered the Water Wise Workshops sponsored by the Organization for the Assabet River with both photography and video recording. [Here's an earlier article on the workshops.]
Over the past several weeks I’ve taken this material and produced a video that OAR will use to promote the workshops to potential sponsors. You can take a look at the Water Wise Workshops video on OAR’s website.
The video was produced using a variety of tools. I used Apple’s Keynote to create the graphical base (the text, still images, and transitions) and had it generate the Quicktime video. I then layered the video tracks on top of the Keynote base. There was definitely some weird interaction between different frame rates and Final Cut Express (not sure if it’s a bug in FCE).
Delivery was done with VisualHub to compress the final program for the web (also AppleTV and iPods). I generated some DVDs with iDVD.
