I like it!

Excellent! These videos are amazing recruitment tools - for students, mentors, and sponsors. Once people see the excitement of FIRST they tend to jump on board. The best way to show them is to bring them to a competition, but if that's not feasible, video may be the next best.

You don't have to be a hollywood director to make an exciting FIRST video...the competition lends itself to that. Just plop down some music (no more techno, I guess) and some cool scenes and it will look great. I've been going through this sub-forum looking at everyone's videos...they are all so good. I'm thinking if there are so many amateur FIRST film-makers around, maybe it could be another good sub-competition like the visualization / 3D.

Anyway, good luck with your video. I'm excited to see the finished product!
