I abandoned a Flash animated version a few months ago but thought I’d give it a go with a video editor.
Not the whole video (it takes a while to do this stuff), a bit ragged in places, but as a beginner I’m reasonably happy with it. (excuse the abrupt ending – I don’t know how to fade the music yet.)
A rough and ready rehash. Hopefully so rough the Daily Mail will decide it’s not worth stealing this time.
Well done Hazel. There’s nothing like going out into the community, looking voters directly in the eye … and avoiding their questions.
NB If your viewing from my blog’s feed, the flash animation may not be visible so you may have to view it on my site – sorry- gremlins.
This is very much a draft and, considering the time taken, I’m a bit unsure whether to continue.
UPDATE – Yup, I’m bottling it, it’s not really worth continuing.
Checking with a couple of people, it’s obvious that some monitors display things the way I see them and others reveal differences in contrast which make the ‘face-swaps’ look too obvious.
The reason I thought I could do this in a reasonable amount of time was the darkness of the video which meant I could hide the shortcuts I was taking but it seems that I was wrong.
Due to the filesize, the sound quality is set to low and I’ve also reduced the number of posts on my front page for the moment.
