The current project I am working on is a video for our project's kickstarter page. The 2 minute video will be on the top of the page, above the project description. When somebody looks at our kickstarter page, the video will be the first thing they see, so the majority of people at the page will probably end up watching it. This means that the video must be good enough to convince people to give us their money.
At first it started out as a storyboard, seeming somewhat similar to how a trailer would look. However one thing that was missing was exactly what questions needed to be answered. I came up with multiple questions based on the two points that needed to be shown in the video, the first being what the project is, and the second being give us money.
Watching videos of successful kickstarter projects, it seemed apparent that the video didn't need to be too complicated. A lot of the successful projects had short videos describing their projects. This was good because in all honesty, with the small spaces of time given to do the video, trying to make something really detailed would probably end up looking horrible.
So Kevin Aceves and I got footage of a few students (two writers, project manager, and production manager) to explain different aspects of our project, why we need money, and how people can donate. Right now, it is towards the end of the editing stage, and it's looking like it'll be finished by tomorrow. I would post examples, however I don't have any screenshots at home.
