As I get my hands dirty with Adobe Spark a couple of issues have arisen. The first being that there is a huge time crunch to get this done. In our last 703 class, we were taught about lighting and basic video techniques, but would we really have time to do actual recordings? This video should be an excellent product since it is on our home page, but I am afraid that it will be rushed and the quality will suffer. The second dilemma was also encountered during the icon creation portion of 703 and that is transferring what you have in your head (or on your storyboard) to the actual product.
There is good news though. I suspect most of us came into the Touro program as video newbies, however, that director's eye has been slowly cultivated within us during previous classes. To assist me with this I have thought back to the work we did with our book reports in 791 and our team utilized Adobe Spark to create a professional looking product. Being able to gain experience navigating Spark and its availbale tools has already paid dividends during the hook video. As for the timing, not to be cliche, but the timing is what it is. Summer term is crunch time and this means being able to produce on a moments notice. This video will get done, it will look professional and will engage those who venture to our capstone sites, for optimism is truly helpful in situations such as these.

Joe, I appreciate your can-do attitude. You are right: Failure is not an option. We are going to get this done. You are wise to rely on the Spark tool that you've already mastered instead of trying to learn a new platform and record video in only a week. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with.
