Team Multivac decided to do Celebrity Jeopardy as our video project and I personally loved the idea, being a huge fan of the Saturday Night Live skit myself. I was not entirely sure that we were going to be able to make the content fit the humor aspect of the show and have it still be somewhat informative but I was surprised once we started brainstorming questions how wrong I was. Our questions managed to be funny, informative, and stay true to the characters. It was nice that the humor of our group members was able to shine through. There were a few times when a few of us may have been worried about the appropriateness of our video but I think in the end our video is one of the most G-rated on all of youtube.com.
The filming of the video wasn't too painful at all. I think that we were so organized with the script since we had met a few other times prior to the actual filming that we didn't have to stress over minor details while in the process. Each member of the team did their part by pulling together their costumes and any props that might be needed and this too was nice in that it helped keep the day moving.
I wasn't sure with the way we filmed the video how it was going to turn out once Garrett edited it but then again I had no idea that Garrett was so skillful at editing. I was amazed while watching the video that at points where I remember us cutting and changing around that it appeared that we filmed in one continuous perfect take.
I am very pleased with how this project turned out and happy that we could be humorous while still managing to fulfill project requirements and being somewhat informative.
Here is our video in case you haven't had a chance to see it :)

This was probably the best video from our class. It was very creative. The humor in the film was well balanced with the educational aspects. I think Dr. Tapia should show that video at the beginning of the next IST 110 class she teaches. It would be interesting as a preview to the new students.

This was by far my favorite video project in the class. It might just be that I love laughter over educational, not that yours wasn't, but yours was thefunniest and jsut as informative as the rest of the projects. Sean Connery was hilarious:
"This is the name of the Pennsylvania State University College of Information Sciences and Technology's virtual island on Second Life.
Mr. Paterno?"
"WEll you see (Gibberish)"
LMAO, (before the scene of paterno speaking gibberish, your mask falls off and you drop really fast to catch it)
"Im sorry Mr. Paterno but you are out of time. Sir Connery?"
"What is CUBA!" LMAO
