Progress on the video

Well, I’m still pushing forward on the video, although I have to admit that I don’t know for sure what it’s going to look like. Thanks to the illness that swept through the family this weekend, we didn’t get to do any of the fun activities that we usually do that make it into the video.
I finished putting together the soundtrack tonight. The video is trending toward 4 minutes and 50 seconds long, and since I have the animation storyboarded already (that sounds more impressive than it is — it’s sort of a stretch to refer to what I’m doing as “animation”), I need to find video to fill about 3 minutes of that time. This will be one of our shorter videos, but I’m still worried that we aren’t going to have enough good video to fill it up.
We’ve gotten a few miscellaneous interesting bits, including what is hopefully going to be an interesting sequence showing the assembly of Sandi’s gingerbread house in stop motion. I need to work on that next to see if it will work and what the timing is.
My goal is to finish up as much of the video as I can now, and focus on getting good footage this weekend and early next week once the kids are out of school. We’ll see.
It might snow tomorrow here in Indy. That might be interesting…
