My building manager at work has sent round an email to all staff saying that we're having a fire drill at 3pm. Doesn't that partly defeat the object of the fire drill <scratch>
I was a fire officer for a previous company and I was forced to stand near a fire exit during one drill waving my arms in the air and shouting "I'm a fire! I'm a fire!" to make the others turn around and find another exit.
Should have made you dress up too <laugh>

Buying a run around this weekend for me and the missus.

Wanted something cheap to insure, practical and economical to run and found a Nissan Note which seems ideal.

A mate picked me up in his new BMW M140i last night, I've had an S3 which is a fast car but this thing is on another planet. Never been in a car with that power and acceleration. Only just getting into its stride at about 110mph.

OT it has an eco mode so would make a handy runabout.

Managed to break my finger last night squashing garden waste into the wheelie bin using an old paint tin.

That's why I need the car Micky...

I quote some young, d*******, selfie obsessed millennial from the other week who asked, "Who is that drunk old guy" to which my wife replied my husband.

He then said I was an embarrassment and my wife asked what he managed to achieve in his 25 years.

Long story cut short. I win.

Old, grey and great!

How specific do you need the answer to be? Would the country/region suffice, or do you need coordinates for an airstrike or something?

Just got back from Cancun/Playa Del Carmen today. Watched both of the Mexico matches at a sports bar whilst over there, atmosphere was brilliant - they went absolutely mental when that Lozano goal went in against Germany. That and a lone Croatian fan riling up an entire room of Argentinians and getting pelted with risotto balls from the buffet were definite highlights as far as this World Cup has gone <laugh>

I'm suffering from man-flu, went to the shop near my work earlier to get some tissues and mistakenly asked if they had Balsamic Tissues rather than Balsam Tissues <laugh> <neg>

Anyone good with video editing?

I am trying to win a scholarship to a London ad school by documenting my attempts to make an idea go viral.

The trouble is I can tell you exactly what I want to achieve but have no idea how to make it happen.

The idea is that to enhance sales of a chocolate bar (Cadbury's Wispa) the video maker will film themselves dropping their Wispa in various ridiculous places - down the toilet, off the Eifell Tower etc etc. The only limit is the video maker's imagination. Once the drop occurs a purple semi-transparent wash fills the screen (Cadbury colours), accompanied by the opening bars of George Michael's Careless Whisper.

Here is a link to my example video:



My problem is I don't know how to make this filter available to others, or, indeed, how to make it into a single file. It is currently an audio track and a png file on iMovie. I can create a standard mp4 video using these two files but this loses the transparency of the png. The transparent wash and the music are the 'punchline' so I need to give users access to these in order to keep uniformity, otherwise it's just a bunch of people dropping chocolate bars. Is there a way to export these two things as a single file and maintain the transparency? Alternatively is there a much more user friendly way of doing all of this that I'm not thinking of?

In terms of resources I have access to Creative Cloud so can use anything from that, plus any native apps on Mac such as iMovie.

Sorry - I have zero tech or creative skills.

Come to think of it I have no skills whatsoever really <wah>

It sounds like a simple project, id film what you need to film, edit it, then import the video file into adobe after effects where you can place your filter, it works with layers similar to photoshop but obviously you will have your video layer still, also for your filter layer there are plenty of of tutorials about doing splash effects and ripples using after effects, also if you go online you can probably download the cadbury font.



if you could make your purple layer like this you could also keyframe in and animate the opacity


Also for feedback maybe the peeing could be a bit too extreme, after all they would want an ad to not be too controversial, but you could go for your idea but have it more implied, for example, maybe shooting it as the guy goes into the toilet lifts the lid, camera cuts to a facial shot, zip sound effect, your eating the chocolate bit and then the drop, facial reaction shot, then your end graphic.

Also a good idea to give you an edge would be to shoot a series of different ridiculous situational ones to make a short showreel, with a "dont be careless with your wispa" theme, that way you are showing off film skills, effects skills, creative ideas, a prolonged campaign plan. a lot of people get bored of the same advert but when they are a different ones for the same product and they are all linked it peaks a customers interest more, that's just a few ideas id personally think about.
