GVA Introduction video

I was asked by my company to put together a short high level video demonstrating three aspects of our external client tool.  Whilst discussing this with Andrew Rae, I found that I could not share with him the content and so decided to share it here for all to see.  I welcome any feedback and opinions.

 

At the time of creation, I had switched from the limiting 'Windows Movie Maker' to the feature rich 'Shotcut' but had not had time to add credits.

 

So, here they are:

    Hi Paul,


    Thanks for sharing! Really love the look-and-feel of your application. Only thing that disturbs me is the bad rendering of the "Capsules -> GVA Investor Demo" icon throughout the "slides".

     

    Looking forward to seeing you again at BOARDVille

     

    All the best,
    Jonathan

  • Thank you very much for that Jonathan.  Independent views are so valuable when trying something brand new and to receive positive feedback only motivates me further. 

     

    Regarding the production, I had a very tight turnaround - a day - which included first learning how to use the opensource software - SHOTCUT.  The still I used for the links is very poor and I had not even noticed until I had delivered the film, but I will pay closer attention to detail after your observation. 

     

    From a technical standpoint, whilst the film is very short and simple, getting to grips with the software, overcoming its nuances and handling random crashes added to the pressure, but I had to know that I could amend anything once delivered.

     

    As it is now, I consider myself of intermediate ability with SHOTCUT and look forward to creating content that will help to communicate complex concepts in a relaxing and enjoyable manner and without the need for narration or a physical presence.
