Week of Web Development and Directing

This week felt relatively slow since  my time was split between finding time to work on working on the website and working with my boss, David, to film video demonstrations.  The video demos are ways to instruct our future clients and overseas partners in exactly how our hardware works so if they are asked questions during sales meetings they are able to answer them.  They also serve as a good tool on learning how to demo the device in those sales meetings.

I was in charge of filming and editing the video.  David wanted to film the video in one smooth take so I could edit it as fast as possible and have a video ready as soon as possible.  He was surprised that I was able to edit it and have the video ready by Thursday since he was heading to China this weekend and I guess it made his meeting with his partners a bit smoother.  This coming week will be a lot shorter while I will be doing the same mix of web development and video editing tasks again.

It will be shorter since myself and most of the Global Edge crew will be going to Boracay, Philippines!  I am pretty excited because its supposed to have one of the best beaches in the world.  I really hope the weather doesn’t ruin it, since I saw that it might be raining for a bit.  But what I am really excited about is the cliff we will be jumping off into the sea.  Its called Ariel’s Point and its about 50 feet high and compared to the 20 feet waterfall in Luk Wu stream here in Hong Kong that we jumped off, its should be really fun!

Aside from that I have sat down for a Skype meeting with one of David’s daughters who is studying marketing in America and she gave me a few tips on what she didn’t like about the old website that I plan on incorporating into the new one sometime this week.

Here is the Video Demo I worked on this week:
