Get A Clue Podcast

The get a clue podcast is up and running! We have had a great response from English 1010/1020 and CLSS 1010 instructors. They are requiring their students to come do the "Get a Clue" library orientation. The orientation is based upon the popular board game Clue. To do the orientation students must begin by watching our Get a Clue podcast. The podcast sets up the game by showing that an item within the library has been stolen. The student doing the orientation is the assistant to the detective in charge of the case. His/her job is to follow criptic clues left around the libary by the detective and find out who stole the item, where it is now and what was stolen.

Here is a raw picture from the podcast of J's legs while he was doing Detective Hemlock P. Shmolmes.

Student Orientation Podcast

We have been working on the student orientation podcast this summer and it is coming together. I spent 11 hours working on it last Thursday. We watched the unfinished rough cut at the library retreat at the word perfect campus. We got a few laughs out of it. Mostly because some of the images used had shots of the puppeteer in them (I didn't have time to crop all the photos yet). It is amazing to me how long it takes to create a slideshow podcast like this in Final Cut Express. We hope to have it all done in the next couple weeks. As a side note the Zombie library instruction podcast we were going to make has been scrapped and may be reworked into just a vidcast.
