First draft of the club promo movie, any helpful advice appreciated. I'm staying away from anything that would infringe on copyrighted material that would make YouTube take it off their site.
- what else to highlight?
- more of this or less of that?
- Check my spelling (-:
- if you have some really cool photos or video get them to me.

i saw this last night thought it was great if you feel you need more pics jack feel free to fish through my photobucket jack as for movies i will put what i have on a disc for you to use as you see fit. i think i may even have some more for Yucel's dance lessons.
sorry forgot the link http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Skibumtgm/ (http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Skibumtgm/)
What you see now is just about what the YouTube version is going to be but dressed up a little more, The Christmas Party one will be longer, It wiill include more of all the shows and events that Bud mentioned.
Tyler, I'll check out everyones on line photos, I didn't think of that.
I think you need to get yucell to upload his pics I think there is gold on that camera that is just waiting to be uploaded.
Nice!
but no Kit Cars?? LAUGH@ LAUGH@
Seriously its very good but if possible a little more of Punch Buggy might be a good idea. Also if you have any shots of our early meetings it might be a nice touch to see where the club has gone a far as growth.
as always < 2CENTS
Yeah what Bob was saying about punch buggy- it pays to advertise.
needs more T3
It also ends kind of abrubtly.
QuoteI have pictures of the early meetings etc. and a kit car for you Bob
Erraaa..not what I had in mind.. @7@
Quoteneeds more T3
and less busses! fig2 busicon2
its not our fault that the busicon2 come out in full force and show up in all the pics. i just wish we could of had some video of john and his sqBk from the toys for tots it never looked so cool heading up the caravan being followed by busicon2 busicon2. he enjoyed it so much i think he called in a bogus call to the cops to get them to shut down Broad Street so we had to take the long way. Im flattered but you dont have to do all that john im sure we can arange a caravan of busicon2 busicon2 busicon2 busicon2 busicon2 to follow you anytime you want.
Jack going to put all the vids i have on a flash drive for ya i will toss it in the bus and get it to you the next time i see you.
Jack - great stuff so far! But I think Yucel may beat you though when he sees it! kickButt LOL
Bud - that was a great clip! (unfortunately I think its a little long for our promo video)
Suggestions/Edits
1. I agree there could be more bug pictures - they're so d@mn cute! Maybe some of members cars up close.
2. The small pics (in quadrants) are so tiny... maybe better to run all four full-size, just quick.
3. There is one photo in there twice (3:09 & 4:57).
4. "Group Hug" subtitle comes on too late/stays on into next footage
5. In "Cruises" do we have photos of the location signs where we were (ie - DQ, Taylor's, Weber's, Friendly's, Batsto, etc)? The sign you had of Stewart's looked good. (Are there any copyright issues w/ using their signs in photos?)
6. Not enough pictures of Jack.
Michelle, I "think" you miss understood me, that clip wasn't for the club promo movie
but was for Bob. I1t Glad some of you enjoyed it.

- Remember, first draft
- will look for more Punch Buggy
- There is no ending yet
- #3 took care of already
- Took Hug title out
- Will add my own titles where we are
- I have 63 photos of myself to add at the end :icon_cheesygrin:
- It's hard to edit everything to ten minutes for youtube but will keep adjusting
- The DVD copy will be much longer
Thanks very much for the help and Bud & Tyler I got your photos and movies.
Will it be more clear when it's on YourTube?? Another good job BFF :icon_puke_l:

Michelle, to answer your question about copyright. You can use a sign, a piece of art
a photograph etc. without the owners consent as long a @copyright by ........ YEAR doesn't appear on it. Hope that helps.

No, I still have it @7@
My Cube took a chit and I need to pull the HDs and get my stuff off of them and copied to the external. I was hoping to get to it this week so I can get it to Jack, but I can get it to Tyler and he can get it to Jack
Shawn. I have a external drive for coping DVD to and from my laptop by way of usb
cable. Is that what you guys are talking about?
Bud et al
Rich (GlowBug) generously donated a portable hard drive to the club. Beetleboi has transferred all his photos & videos to it and gave it to me. I have to do the same but my NAS (network storage drive), the place where I keep all my stuff is crapped out. I have to put it's drives into a computer so I can get my stuff out and upload them to the club's drive
The idea behind the drive is that is, there are a few people in the club who take a LOT of pictures and videos at club events. The drive get's passed around amongst them every once in awhile so we can continue to upload all the pics & vids from all the events.
This serves two purposes. The first is, its an archive for the club. The second is, it gives the main "video-makers" in the club more material to choose from, AND if they syncronize with it each time they get it, there will be back ups at several locations in case something happens to the unit
Simple !fright!

My computer is down also :icon_confused: Im using my wife computer right now.
Wow, I really did enjoy seeing that, a lot of great footage, and captured a lot of events, I was then thinking of ...
Methinks the drive in and Stewarts is a HUH?! to outside viewers, they dont have a real idea what that is about, maybe some lettering about Drive-ins etc, and what some of the things are.
And in a way I dont like my next suggestion...make quite a few clips shorter and less pictures - hate to say this 'cause a lot of this is great footage for my memories, I'm just thinking will someone be willing to watch for 10 minutes for what this club is? I dont know if they will be wanting to take time looking at some unknown people for any length of time - I think it would be to them, like watching someone elses home-made movies? We all love them, & beleive me, so do I, I'm just trying to put myself in an outsiders place of view. In thinking someone would not want to watch more than 3 min of a club promo, what would one put in - in that time span, and how would you put that in? if there was only 3 minutes to do so
Just some of my ideas - I DONT mean this is the way it should be, just want to throw out something in thinking the general public likes quick movement to hold their interest...
Year of start of club in swelling up letters ( 3 sec)
Engine class Lettering (3 sec) 3 photos 3 sec each
Welding class Lettering ( 3 sec) 3 photos 3 sec each
Body work instruction....
Members helping members ( In Lettering) Ex. Photos, Jack sanding party, 3Gear trans removal, roadside help, help
during shows, Link-pin help, Towing back Jack's rat rod, other pictures of members helping other members to work
on cars, ( 3 sec.s each with lettering)
The Fun
Picnic Few quick shots of picnicking, but thought it would be a good idea to have on one screen having or very
quick pics of each picinic group photo with year lettered in. ..2006! 2007! 2008! 2009!
Cruises: Lettering of locations of Cruise with short pics, and very short selective video clip
The rest kinda follows the same pattern
Drive ins
Breakfast ( with lettering Breakfast with the Beetles)
Shows
Camping
etc....
Kinda follow the same format with all the other good ideas that have come up with, I just would keep movies to a minimum - even though they do show the character of the club, but again so do the pic.s
At the end I would have lettering of Members cars as of 2009, then a rapid fire of pics of all members cars ( 1/2 sec at most) with the appropriate climatic music ending at the last pic, then screen blank out for a second then swelling of BIG SJVWC letters forming with a pic of the Founding members, then a little history of the formation of the club either by lettering or narrated by one of the founders - or more than one.
Uh, my 2CENTS
You can now kickButt me
Though as my mooning goes sailing, I think the club promo is a great, great idea
Tar-Man-Matt
I have to agree with the tar man on this... shorter is better, maybe put in a 10 min about us movie on the site but a short promo on youtube... just my 2CENTS as well or it's really only worth 1 cent but...
Cheers,
Marc stoned#
What's all this about a club porno movie? This is a VW club and we've got better things to do.
Thought than name sounded a bit 'spammy'...it (and this one) should be deleted to stay on topic...

Emily, what would you think if I put more BaHas in the movie?
Does nobody renenber Emily Litella? The mis-informed community activist doing news editorials?
Great lines like..."What's all this about conserving the worlds natural racehorses!"
Nevermind
I agree with Matt there should be a short promo... sometimes I look at the length of something and if its more than 4:00 I don't watch it (unless it is an SJVWC event video - I watch all those).
We can use the longer version to show at the Christmasn party and loop at Punchbuggy & Clayton.
The thing about too many pics of memebers - sad but true... that's why I think more pics of cars.
OK, more comments and suggestions on this promo video please.

Looking for helpful ideas not a lot of bull chit!!
visually i think it should include members rides and the letters seemed a little fuzzy. i think it needs some background music(hot lanta from allman bros at fillmore east perhaps). busicon2
Quotei think it should include members rides
I'm with Paul on this one, think its very good, catches the eye. You could add a quick flash of a members car after every topic is flashed. ( especially my Bradley! (love ). Just one other thing, check the spelling I think you've got "Breakfast" spelled as "Brakefast" might confuse somebody into thinking we do "mass brake jobs" :icon_cheesygrin:
watch out Bob- I got deleted for that

I agree, can we do VW photos behind the text? Maybe use a heavy drop shadow on the text to make it stand out over top of an image. Maybe a bit less compression to clean up the text as well.

Marc,
I'll see how it looks, before everyone thought it was to long, thats why I'm trying to keep it to the point, short and sweet.
Jack ~ You can please some of the people, some of the time but you can't please all
of the people all of the time @7@
Remember what it says on the back of my bus? " I DID IT MY WAY "
(with help from others, yeah right) LAUGH@
Hi Jack
It looks like this takes a lot of time and effort. I just want to give you a BIG "THANK YOU".
If there was sound I could not hear it, so I cannot comment on that.
You have the word "more" twice in a row - you can see them both with freezing at 1:10 min. at bottom of screen
Yes, 1-3 quick pic.s for each of the events mentioned would be great!
Maybe you were trying to trim things down, but no mention of cruises, or camping ............. or tar....
But I think this is a lot better start than before ( 2CENTS ) as it gets the info across fast.
I like the begining with the eye, and the smoky S J V W C letters... be cool if they could look like they are coming out of the exhaust.
Instead of the perfect marriage, maybe the perfect fit, then showing two significant vw parts coming together ( crank to a case or and engine going into a bug?
Just my 2CENTS . Really good work though Jack!, I like it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt
