Breakable: I think it’s best to think of these as segments in a larger series. Each segment has a concept to convey that builds up to the whole advocacy series.

The purpose of this segment is to just explain how the DPF works.

I think for the beginner it’s too quick. You first need to set up what plasma is, and also what fusion is. I’m worried because here I show hydrogen boron fusion, which looks like fission because it splits. That’s bound to confuse some. Also, the machine hasn’t even been tested yet for hydrogen boron – that’s what LPP is doing now! So we probably need some sort of disclaimer there somewhere about how this is being tested. However, that this machine results in fusion is proven and established, with deuterium.

So, yes, it will be a few films, and we’ll have to ask people to watch them in the proper order, but they need to be able to stand on their own. And they need to work together to build a case.

Warwick: Thanks! It’s details like that that I’m looking for. Yes, it’ll be easy to change the + and -. I added those as title overlays to the animation. I had no idea about the color. This is terrible. A time will come when I need to cut a wire to disable a bomb, and I’ll cut the blue wire! Disaster!

Well, we’ve already committed to Vegas – OK, it was $110, not such a huge committment, but the time spent to figure out how it works is. The issue is that this is the consumer version. You pay more for better sound manipulation. Sound – what an art. I am in awe of people that do sound tracks. As with any tool, I think the real issue is finding people who are good at using it. Either through creative commons or through hiring skilled people – we can up the quality. For now, there’s just me. Creative commons also means going back to the website, setting it up to support that, putting in legal/practical guidelines for use. And then a lot of data entry/uploading of images and footage… Many images of which people wouldn’t understand.

What I’d prefer is people in the area coming down and working on the actual video footage in house for now. I think Eric would prefer more oversight as well.

It’s all evolving. Our process.

Belbear: It makes a very interesting sound. It’s like synthesizer music. I’ll have to capture that. We’ve got it caught via the video camera mic, but it’s not the greatest capture and there’s hiss and noise around it. Would be fun to capture it with better audio equipment (any suggestions?). Maybe worth hiring a pro for an hour to come down.

Another cool sound is the vacuum pumping away. It’s a constant background shuffling sound.
