"The Plan"

My idea is to create a video of a collaboration of pictures. The video will be a simple slideshow (with killer music, of course) that shows multiple pictures of animals at the Durham Animal Shelter that are looking to be adopted. The video would be done by me because I am not really sure of anyone that professionally works with video production. I am not positive how to do it... but it can't be too hard, right? The video can be handed out to local vet offices, Petsmart, animal hospitals, animal supply stores, etc. Even the shelter could have a copy of the disk for people who are just coming to "look" so when they leave, they have a visual memory that will last. The importance of this is for people who are busy but are interested to just take a look- it is simple and hopefully impacting. All you have to do is grab a free video and pop it into the computer and within seconds is a slideshow of multiple adorable animals that need a home. The ultimate goal is for people to see this video and take enough interest to go to the shelter and ultimately adopt!
2. I would be the "artist" so the proposal is to me. I would need to by DVD disks, find the right music, collaborate all the pictures together, and finally burn the disk. I would need to get in touch with animal related facilities and get the "ok" to leave the videos there. Perhaps a flyer that went along side would be appropriate so people can see what they are picking up.
3. A timeline for me would be... maybe by the end of next week? I would need to see how much it would cost to buy the DVD’s and have enough pictures that are good enough and recent enough to be put on the disk

I cannot put a picture of a video (duh...) but I will post a view photos in the order that I think they would appear on my video and the quality of photos that should be on the video are reflected here:

  1. Great idea Peyton! The slideshow format would be a wonderful way of viewing the animals. Besides their name, would the video show some bio information as well?

    Love the kitty on the bottom! The eyes are nicely done. Good job on the shallow depth of field.

  2. @Karen: thanks for the compliments! That could be possible to have bio info. I think it is a wonderful idea. I wish there were a few more hours in the day...

  3. Great idea. I would encourage you to make this an online video (maybe youtube). That would save you the expense of the DVD, and make it easier to distribute. I think you will reach a wider audience with an online version. As Karen said, little bios for each animal, or even a short description would go a long way too!
