instructional video ideas

how to:

-clean a litter box, or take the shit out
close up shot of cat
medium shot of cat; we see the cat is pooping
medium shot of person fanning/holding nose
shot of litter box from above. there are lumps in it
grab a garbage bag and take the box outside
sift and dump all the crap into bag, then dispose
bring clean litter box inside
everyone is happy

other ideas:

-travel
shot of finger on spinning globe
google research the country
shop for deal on plane tickets
click buy now
maybe appropriate video of airport and plane interior shots

-build a campfire
supplies
technique

-practice good oral hygiene
rinse
scrape tongue
floss
brush with toothpaste
listerine

-change a bicycle tire
when it goes flat

-install a peephole
in your door to look at people

-create a .gif from a movie
choose the scene you want to capture
export as image sequence
open in photoshop or imageready
optimize the animation

-coding
a simple html/css page

-pack a backpack for camping
what to bring

I like the "how to travel" idea. So much so that I wish I had thought of it. I think it makes excellent use of the "silent" format.

proper oral hygiene video sounds the best. especially since some of these mca kids need it. to have the opportunity ot have some great shots.

I think the peephole idea would be interesting. You could get some weird shots with the camera via the peephole.

or the classic, how to make an instructional video-video. But i like the cat idea because i have a cat.
