Good golly Miss Elvi, nice use of translation throughout! I think this is a well presented message for our parents and kids. I will gladly encourage all to view. You had a lot of information to fit into a short period of time. I think you did a great job.

Evli, I loved what I saw - very dynamic and attention-grabbing. Unfortunately, I had difficulty downloading (on various computers) and only got part. You may want to check to see if it could/should be compressed differently?

Elvi, I loved the message. What a practical video for parents to see good parenting skills. I realize that this is a PSA and supposed to be short, but, I would love to see more like parents asking about their day or reading or telling stories to their children before bed. Looking over their homework. Kind of like a picture of a good student's afternoon and adult interactions. I loved the translation, but for some parents a spanish only movie may be easier for them to understand if they can't read. I could see a whole series of videos on this subject. I loved that the message was positive and shot in a person's home. I might of shot him out of the door at the end walking and then fading out. It seemed like it ended quickly.

Chuck, Right- or Control-click on the playing video and choose Save as QuickTime Movie. That should do it. Elvi, I like how you solved your Captions problem (bump txt up with the asterisks). I think this was really well done. Good pacing, engaging visuals, excellent storyline, inventive camera angles, good choice of music, and clean narration. Since I listened with headphones, it was clear that audio was coming out of only one channel when you used the external mic. You can solve that problem by using the Stereo-to-Mono adapter we gave you.

Elvi, Ditto what the others said. I really like the dual language aspect, and it is totally appropriate for our student population. I think parents and kids would really enjoy seeing this and incorporating it into their daily routine if they are not doing all these things. It's simple, straight to the point and clearly defined. I would probably stretch the credits out so you can slow them down and read them. You must give credit where credit is due!

Great job Elvi! I loved the fact that it was bilingual. I showed it to my class and my new comers also got to enjoy it. Great way to bring out the importance of getting enough sleep and eating breakfast before school. Along with a oral hygiene lesson. Great job in the transitions.
