Jay: "I suggest she use the pop-up maker so people can view it on IE".

Jay: "from my experience....make sure the text is SUPER CLEAR about what its

all about. short and simple. her video really expands on her

idea....so you want to make sure a person clicks on the video knowing

what its all about. no mysteries. "Maria will interview 12 people

(colombian and amercian) about ......

Starting Oct __, she will post one video a week for 12 weeks. Her

project needs $1500 which will be used to buy a mic, pay for travel,

and editing time. Her goal is _________" this is extremely

simplistic...but I think its helpful to spell things out."

Ryanne: "he video looks good except the data rate is huge! (which

is why a 3 min video is 53MB but should be like 15-20MB) it's 2200

kbits/sec and it should be like 700

and it's got some weird compression artifacts in some parts too

like the top half of the video looks all pixelly

but the bottom half looks ok.

which is really weird...

you are using the regular MPEG4 compressor right?

because that might be why it's all pixelly/weird actually.

try 3ivx, it's the bomb.

Jan: "Was multi-tasking when I listened to her video, but it seems

to be that Maria intends to interview all family & friends. Did I hear

that right? I would like to hear from at least some outside her

immediate circle. Are there 'coyotes' ferrying illegals to the U.S.

there as in Mexico?"

Sull: "i dont think it is *very* important to nec have a wide

array of people... strangers.

terrific if she does get a mix of people she doesnt know, but in

truth, how relavent is it to the information and quality that will be

delivered? they are all people and all have a story and opinions. i

dont care if they are all friends and family..."

Michael: "I have a couple of

suggestions on improving that "pitch" video:

1. A couple of times Maria is pretty casual about who she will be

interviewing. She says it's not a rigorous academic study which is

totally fine but she kind of makes it seem like she's just

interviewing family or whoever happens to be in the room at the time.

It would be cool if she was a little more clear about how that will

work.

2. Let us hear something from one of the interviews that she's already

done. Let see and hear how cool this project is going to be."
