Rob - can you break up all the microhouse pix into MODULE TAGS (about 10 relevant ones of them) by Bulk Edit? Then I can link to them from the Development Boards. Yes, I created a bunch of new ones yesterday by making stills from the video. I'm going through all of it Friday and will tag.

Put together a "beauty" timelapse of the Microhouse that can be used as a background for "sales" or other messages... or just for fun

Webinar test with ESW. Video runs poorly and so does prezi. Probably should convert to Powerpoint for this webinar.

Long meeting today with Ray Claridge, the founder of Cinema Vehicle Services. He's on board to let us use his incredible facility for the build.

Everything we'd ever need from mechanical, to body, to upholstery, and beyond. They can fabricate the body and provide an wide array of experts. Great story of these crusty old pros interacting with Yann and Marcin.

Thinking we can build there and then drive the car to the Museum for a final unveiling event and perhaps the historic car stays there for awhile.

Next stop, meeting at the Petersen Museum. --- Need to determine how best to use CVS and the Museum so everyone benefits. Seems the Museum really gets us help with sponsors and supports the educational mission.

Editing a Microhouse summary video now that Chris can use in a presentation tomorrow.

This will be a preliminary summary video for us, but I'll add more info and interview. Here's the Rough Cut

Completed the first video in a new series I'm calling the OSE Realtime Build Series. These are "raw" videos that let viewers experience a GVCS Build as it happens.

It's basically a cutdown of our raw videotapes, uploaded to the Latakoo public site. The videos are full resolution so they can be used to edit other videos later.

https://opensourceecology.latakoo.com/v/?176263 (let me know of the link works)

I've made a "breakthrough" on Latakoo, working with their technical people and doing uploads on a Mac Mini computer instead of my usual old Mac.

A file that previously took 6 hours to upload has been reduced to 1.5 hours. That's what I hoped for in the beginning.

This Realtime video is a cutdown of a 1 hour tape, edited down to 40 minutes. It took 1.5 hours to edit, 1 hour to output, then 1:10 to upload. All good numbers. --- This specific tape is an excellent model of how we should be shooting the builds, if we have work instructions ready. The audio annotation along the way creates a good "how-to"

Mac Mini - version used for this upload

2011 Model - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 - 2GB Memory

New versions that I recommend OSE purchases as follows:

Cody and I are working our way through complete Dozuki documentation of Backhoe. Very time consuming to get it right.

Worked on Feast prezi. Sent possible plan to trim to 6 minutes to Marcin.

Shifted gears from Microhouse sizzle to Lifetrac 6 Dozuki documentation for Shuttleworth

Continue digitizing of Microhouse footage

Completed Raise the Roof video

Continuing digitizing of Microhouse footage.

Tested screen capture Sketchup animation. Worked with Emmett to determine best professional tool. iShowU is the right choice with HD quality and optimization for 3D programs.

Uploaded video from Lifetrac 6 shoot for Emmett to reference on Cab animation.

Prepping video and Marcin's script for Microhouse 3 minute sizzle.
