This was probably the most difficult of the three videos that were produced for this course. The video itself was essentially the same as the others, cut, paste, edit, add sound, adjust, add title, add credits, and done. What was difficult was the back and forth between three members from three different cities all trying to edit the same content. Downloading the video and reloading after each edit became so time consuming that we decided to post it to a team wiki page and one team member edit the video each time suggestions were made. After each day, a new page was created so we knew which edit to edit! Phew! In the end, the final product was pretty good considering we have never met, are in three locations, Mac and PC users combined, and we did it all via the internet. Google docs and team wikis were the key. Everyone had an input and the video was widget imbedded into the page. The ability to subscribe to the RSS feed made it easy to know when new edits were posted and when another team member made comments or edits as well. All in all, I learned a lot from the project and feel a lot more technologically advanced for having done it. It would have been useful to work on the same systems and programs so downloading would have been easier, but I learned more from converting files and downloading widgets than I would if I hadn't have had to do it.
