How My PSA Went

Hey guys, Ben back with another blog. This week's blog is about our PSA, and how we thought it went. If you guys didn't know, our PSAs were due last week Friday, and I did meet the deadline, and I think it went really well. If you guys haven't seen my PSA, it's in the "Projects" tab under "8th Grade Year Projects" and then "3rd Quarter." Anyways, lets get right into this blog. 
First, I think the GTA 5 Machinima idea really worked out, it looked cool and it really helped with the whole "First person" aspect as well as helped with the crash part. I did a lot of editing, and I mean A LOT of editing in order to get the pop ups to fill the screen, and actually make the viewer themselves distracted from the road, just like the driver was. I showed a couple people and asked them that question, and they were all very impressed and said they didn't know when that car crash was coming. 
Second, I think that it went really well because I finished a couple days BEFORE the deadline. Of course that was my 1st draft, so I had to go and edit a couple more things, but I didn't have to change so many things, just a few editing tweaks and a voice over at the end. Because I finished so early, it's going to give me a lot of time to work on my Inside Scoop coming up, and I will get a really big head start with my 4th quarter project. 
Lastly, I don't think there in a lot of things that I could have done better in this, everything seemed just in place. But there is always something you can fix. I think that I could, if I knew how, added a lot more fancy animations for the text messages, notifications, and pop ups, instead of just a lot of sliding and fading. The phone icon did have a little skinny box around it left over from when I was trying to green screen it with Keyer, so that was a misfortune that I could have fixed, but didn't have the time. Other than that, there isn't many other things I needed to work on, but then again, I'm just a student. 
In conclusion, that is how I feel my PSA went. I think I will edit this down to 25 seconds from 30 seconds so that I can enter it in the Olelo contest, even though they may not take it because of copyright, but it's worth a shot. Either way, I think this has been my best PSA so far, and I am very happy with it, until next time, bye!
