Re: Need some pointers for MASSIVE project

Read the recent COW article on how the gaming video guy organizes his file naming and data structure, to keep the project organized.

You don't give a lot of detail as to what the project is, but my first question would be does it really require that many hours? I bring this up because people tend to forget themselves and get complacent when it comes to the structure of a training video, and they limit themselves to just taping somebody's stand-up live presentation. This is like early film making, where they put one camera in the front row of a theater locked down on a wide shot, and let the stage actors do their normal show. It wasn't until film makers started moving the camera to different angles and using the power of cutting that the medium found it's own "art".

So it might be with a "big" training project. I'm just saying that it couldn't hurt to ask questions that may lead to making the project smaller, shorter, more effective and more managable by re-writing it specifically for the video platform and audience.
