SMS Video Launched
17/01/08
Last week the Lancashire Fire and Police launched the SMS text service. The video was shown on a 40″ plasma screen and received positive feedback. “It looked brilliant!”.
It took a fair few days work to get it looking right. After lot’s of experimenting I found that using the Quicktime animation codec when exporting from FCP/AE gets best results. It is a little more memory hungry than Photo jpg but has proved itself to be worth it.
It shall be on the clients website soon.
SMS Emergency for Deaf People
31.10.07
My good friend Dave and I have got involved in a project to make a short educational video to promote the new SMS emergency text for deaf people. We will be making a fire specific video for the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and it’s going to involve everything from location shooting to green screen work.
All very exciting!!! Although apparently they don’t have poles anymore
