578's FIRST Promo Videos

[Lil' Lavery]

I like the last video the best by far. I do like how you used the kick-off in the other videos, havn't seen that done before. But the 4th video (and a bit at teh end of the 3rd) is the only one that really explains what FIRST is and what you can do with it. Some of the clips were a bit long (the FIRST logo in the 4th and the award scene in the 3rd). Also, if you're from outside of FIRST, you really don't know what is happening with the Award scene, perhaps something explaining that would help. The music was exceptionally well fitted and was qutie good for these kinds of videos.
I'm going to say the same thing I say for just about every video. Consider the audience. These are obviously meant for a person outside of FIRST, but they don't really do a ton to explain what FIRST is and what you can do with it. When recruiting students and parents, mention the scholarship oppurtunities. Show businesses what it can do for them and what other corporations do it. Also try and show how FIRST is different from the other robotics competitions around. Perhaps also give some more consideration to the acheivements of your individual team (or further explanation of them).

Over all they are very well done. Congrats! It must have taken you forever! What program did you use?
I liked the thrid one the best. I thought it was very well composed and had good continuity.
The fourth one is a little long on the FIRST logo, if you cut that down a bit you should be good.
As Sean said in the previous post, I liked the use of kickoff, VERY creative.
The second video should have some sort of title, it looks to much like a home movie without it.
Good choice of music, footage, and theme! You should really look into going into film or television.

We didn't use any thing that exotic to create these films, in fact everything was thrown together with windows movie maker with the exception of the last one which was created in macromedia flash.
