Finishing Up

I'm still working on my last video (rights management) which is requiring some extra time because I've been going back and forth with the lawyer at CDL to make sure that my script and slides are perfect in terms of legalese and copyright code.  Right now the ball's in her court as I wait for one last question to be answered.  Once I hear back from her, making the video should be fairly quick (fingers crossed!) as I have already captured most of the screenshots and made all of the powerpoint slides.  I will just need to screencapture the slides and audio record my voice...and then put it all together!  I'm hoping to hear back from her tomorrow so that I can start my weekend off finishing this video and uploading it to Vimeo.

In the meantime, I have been working on uploading all my other tutorial videos to Vimeo.  The ones that are complete and have been approved can be found at the Web Archiving Service Vimeo Portfolio on the CDL Vimeo page

The two I have left to add are Exporting XML, which is currently awaiting approval from my site supervisor, and the aforementioned Rights Management video.

Cross-Eyed by Copyright

Okay, not really, but my final tutorial video is on rights management and what the Web Archiving Service does to comply with various aspects of section 108 and the Fair Use guidelines.  This is proving to be much more meticulous than the other tutorials I have worked on!  I spent the last few days making slides for the presentation and then wrote up the script I plan to use.  I sent these documents to my site supervisor so that she can run them by someone in their legal department before I actually create the video.  I want to ensure that everything I say is accurate and true in the legal sense!

Besides my final tutorial video, I have been working on the PR video that my site supervisor is interested in.  I created a mini video using Powtoon and shared it with her today to see if it's anything like what she had in mind.  She doesn't actually know I've been working on it since she's been at a conference and we haven't had a chance to meet.  I'm curious to hear her opinion!

I meet with my site supervisor on Saturday morning so until then, I'm going to continue to work on the PR video (just in case she likes it) and will wait to hear back about my script.  Almost done!
