BarCamp Orlando Video

Filed under: BarCamp, Event, Florida, Orlando, Video — Jason @ 7:12 am

After almost a month of editing and motion-graphic-ing, it’s finally done. This is the official video for Orlando’s first BarCamp event.

I’m really excited about this because I felt like I really had a chance to make a difference here in the Orlando community. I wanted people to feel excited about their town, specifically about BarCamp; even one that already happened.

Before I started working on this there were two goals I had in mind. The first was to make something people would want to share with their friends. The second was to shame all other BarCamp videos.

Nothing against the other BarCamps (or their videos, even). I just wanted everybody to know that Orlando is not just going to sit idle while the world does its collective thing. We’re in the conversations now, and there’s some pretty great stuff going on here. It’s time everybody else knew that.

Right now I feel like Orlando is saying, “What’s up, World? We should hang out sometime.” So you better damn-well make sure you’ve got time in your schedule for us. Because we’ll keep calling. And not just to confirm your hotel reservations.

    This was a fantastic video - great work! Someone sent it to a lot of the folks who just attended BarCampMilwaukee2 (http://barcampmilwaukee.com).

    I also love the BarCampOrlando logo!

    Nice job on the video. That came out really nice. The song you picked really goes with the video well and even the credits had a personality of their own. Very nicely done! Loved the typography throughout the video. All I can say is just NICE - MAD NICE!

    Wow, thanks guys. That’s awesome.

    I’d really like to hear what people from other BarCamps think of it. Milwaukee sounds like a great start.

    Thanks, Kat. Those titles seemed to take forever. Hopefully it was worth it. So far so good.

    William, thanks. Disney’s held it’s choke-hold here for too long. Maybe with more events like this things will start to change. At least as far as Orlando’s image goes.
