Wooooooot :D

Well! Today was a pretty awesome day and it also happened to mark my 6-month anniversary with Pololu. Let me backtrack a bit...

For the last 2 weeks or so, three of our engineers, Jeremy, Jon, and Grant (aka Pololu B-Team) decided to participate in the Red Bull Creation 2013 competition. They were given a TurBull Encabulator to work with and they decided to send the Red Bull cans into (the edge of) space. I took pics and video of their progress but I didn't join the team when they launched the TurBull Chiller (I couldn't pass up on the Las Vegas Foodie Fest). The team had one of our guys, Daniel, do all the photos and videos while additional footage came from the the two GoPros that were attached to the Chiller. After that, I reviewed a majority of the clips and edited a few videos.

The first clip was our qualifying video entry for the competition. They originally wanted the video to be a skit but I wanted to incorporate the existing footage we already had. Then they had the brilliant idea of making it like The Office where they will comment on the skit. While editing the video, I went with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - "BomBom" song as a placeholder for the background music. I tried to look for a free song to use but we ended up liking the song and keeping it in there. 

The second clip are outtakes from B-Team. I made this for fun but we ended up using it for the youtube channel. Background music is from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" soundtrack!

And lastly, I made a final video that consists of mostly GoPro and HackHD footage. Jeremy wanted to use Ellie Goulding - "Lights" for the video. Luckily, I already had the album on me!

So in short, I did a lot of video editing and it was quite fun :D

Update 5/17/13: Aaaand we didn't win. Oh well :/ Also, I just noticed the clips I embedded are not showing up. Oh well. You can view the clips at their youtube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/PololuBTeam?feature=watch
