Furby as himself
Originally uploaded to Youtube on Jul 18, 2006
This video was part of an assignment as part of Pepperdine’s Online Masters Program in Educational Technology (OMAET). Four of us, Sissy, Henry, Michelle and I, had formed a bond in the first few weeks into the program and we found that we worked really well together when it came to multimedia projects. The concept and planning of this video was conducted completely online over three chat sessions. I wrote the initial draft, with Sissy and Henry making changes on the day of shooting. While we were waiting for some members of our group to show up we came up with the idea for the “Accident” video (see below). Both videos were shot and edited over the course of one day at Sissy’s computer lab. Apologies about the low resolution and weird way the video sits in the upper left corner of the frame of the video player… sharing videos on the Internet was still in its infancy in 2002. Enjoy. JBB

This video was part of an assignment as part of Pepperdine’s Online Masters Program in Educational Technology (OMAET). While waiting to shoot the “research” video (above), we came up with the idea and shot this video. When we were done shooting both videos I edited the “research” video while Sissy edited this one. This video is a perfect example of spontaneous creativity. The “flying through the air” footage was created when I accidentally left the camera rolling while I was changing positions for the next shots. Sissy was able to take that footage and with the Charlotte Church track she gave us a “Furby’s eye-view” of his own demise. We were hoping to follow this video up with a “Furby Autopsy” video, but as with the “Behind the Scenes” videos, it will have to wait for another life time(?). JBB
