Video Success!

YouTube Struggles

We are struggling putting our video on youtube.  Even if we don't get our video posted in time, we will still have our original video files to turn in to class!  However, we will figure out youtube eventually so everyone who has followed our journey can see the end result!

VIdeo Update

We have scraped all previous video with actors and started on our animations.  We feel this is the route we should have been taking the whole time.  It is offering us the ability to add detail that the actors just couldn't portray.  Hopefully in the next couple days we will have all of our animations created and can record the narrations.  This is getting exciting!

Video Update

We thought at first it would be fun to create a video that incorporated actors to depict quorum sensing, but after a few tries it has become clear that it will not create the detail we would like in our video.  We have researched scientifically detailed information that actors cannot sufficiently depict.  We have decided to instead make animations that we will narrate.  While other videos also take this approach, we hope to bring a new aspect to a video using only animations.

Exciting!

Look what we found!

These are just a fraction of what has been published recently about quorum sensing!  Just try googling this topic to find new links all the time!

Ideas for our own video

This video is giving us inspiration for our own project:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNUeU_Hml1o&feature=related
