Re: Team 2079 Promo Video "FIRST Robotics - Your Chance"

I really liked it; I have a few suggestions however.

It looks like all of your video is interlaced (Wikipedia article).There's a decent deinterlacing filter built-in to VirtualDub, a free Windows video processing tool.

Also, it seems like to fit the colors you have going on, the inverted FIRST logo would be cool. I'm not going to hotlink you to the picture, but it is hosted from this page on USFIRST under the left hand column as "FIRSTlogoR_color_rev_rgb.jpg".

Can you get more shots of people? It seemed to be about 80% robot; it would be more interesting to find funny videos--sped-up Cotton Eyed Joe comes to mind. Something the new students will find humor in, just so that they realize we aren't just a band of nerds going to chess club (which I totally would be cool with, just, it isn't an accurate description of what we do).

I may try my hand at this, but I don't think I have very much video. I may go camera-wielding this season, now that I am a college student.

Great video!
