FRC 1675's 2011 Chairman's Video was music and photos if you are looking for an example of that format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnnlVrI8jNQ

It does maintain that "standard" style of video, but I was a fan of the crayola titles that start up at 40 seconds in.

I'm looking forward to seeing it!

This year Team 1646 decided to go way outside the box with our Chairman's video. While it didn't end up being as informative as we would have liked, the students had a ton of fun making it and the finished product is great for humor, something clearly lacking in a lot of Chairman's videos (that I've seen).

Kinetic Knights, 781, just posted their video and I wanted to say that I was impressed. It was really well done and it made all the information easily understandable. I wish I had the ability to do something that well made.

If you haven't seen it you can find it here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA-D...ature=youtu.be

As many have said already, 781's video really amazed me. Super creative, and I can tell that a lot of effort went into it.

781's Chairman's video is by far the best one I've ever seen! How exactly was this made? Did you guys use a special program or just lots of hard work and time?

I talked to a few of their members about it. I was a bit giddy about meeting them since I was so excited about their video.

IIRC, they took like 10 hours to film the whole thing and then they had to do the voice overs. So yeah hard work and time is the way to go. I'm also certain that having someone that can draw is a big part of it.

Thanks for the reply! 10 hours of work for just a 3 min video? They're really hard-working!
