Final PSA Assignment for My LU Masters’ Class

Here’s the video for our final group project for our Lamar University Masters’ Program in Educational Technology Leadership. It was fun to put this together, we had a good time planning it. I really feel like  our team worked well together. We met online for a quick chat session to divide up our responsibilities. As I had access to actors, cameras, and the best editing software, I did most of the video and editing. Norm had the best narrator’s voice and a music background, so he recorded the narration and got us the music (from the public domain). He also provided us with some cemetary footage for our intro. La Sheonda and Karen wrote and edited the script (with input from Norm and I). It was great all the way around!

I am upset about the video quality on YouTube – it looks much better on my PC, but something seems to be happening in the automatic conversion that YouTube does…it’s too pixelated. UGH.

I was also unhappy with the 60 second time limit – I really wanted to include a slide with our credits, but you can’t really read it because it’s not up long enough (or big enough). So here’s that slide.

All in all, this was a fun project…just a little untimely due to the 4th of July holiday and the close of the school year (one of my busiest times of year). Still…I couldn’t have asked for a harder working group of people! I loved my group!
