I found being part of a team to produce a public service announcement to be a very interesting experience. I believe that I have been in a team that is the most productive and motivated I have ever seen. Teri was clearly on her game from the beginning and got everything organized. Angela and Courtney were perfect for production and editing because they will not quit or be satisfied until everything is perfect. They were able to select the pictures for the video and keep them to a minimum so there could be adequate time to view them. I think Liz and I were a little blown away how competent these ladies are and the speed with which they attach a project. Liz has been a real asset with her translations and narration in Spanish. I am very pleased we added the Spanish to reach such a large percentage of the public school parents. I could not have had a better team. My frustration was with Google Doc. My computer and my computer at work would not run document correctly and it kept shutting down on me. I resorted to making most of my communication through email. I finally borrowed a computer and am able to make entries. As a result, I have missed a lot of the last week’s communication on Google Doc which I find very frustrating.
On a positive side, I have now become a big fan of Audacity and Movie Maker and I am glad we chose Movie Maker for our PSA. It was an easy choice since all of our team had it on their computers. Although the team decided not to use music, I was able to play with the music in our PSA and experiment with it just to see if we might want to use music. In the end, I agree with my team that the music was distracting, and I believe we have an effective PSA. I was also very glad Teri introduced me to Dropbox .com, and I will use that in my personal life. This class has been a true joy. I am so impressed with my team mates and they have been the real stars of this PSA.
