06.10

Personal:

  • Unexpected change - had to move to Daniel Lang in Gundelsheim. Next two weeks I will be in Niederkaufungen. Changed the plan accordingly. Wrote several reasons why I am dedicated to OSE - to be shared soon.

my commitments:

  • for November:
    • Finish the Call and prepare the website for new people.

  • expected major commitment after November:
    • Start working on Factor E Farm in Germany - this is my major goal and as soon as we are expanding well enough I will focus almost all my time in creating FeF here in Germany.

02.10

Call:

  • Mike gave very good Feedback and corrections to the Call.
  • Managed to compose together a video and moving transparent picture in Kdenlive.
  • Completed 1:20 animation and music of the "2. Herausforderungen" and "3. OSE Vorstellung", following the agile principle - of release early and often - works really good - testing in simple small modules. Voice has yet to be added over which will stretch the different video tracks.
  • Noticed: Video Editing takes much more time than I expected. Most of the time goes into the photos selection and aligning photos, music and speech. I expect with a little bit more practice to do it quicker.

  • Sourced photos for "3. OSE Vorstellung".
