Thank you for all the great ideas. I believe I incorporated most of them. I added an additional frame at the beginning as an introdcution; I faded the video audio out so it's not quite so abrupt; I tried to annunciate "path" so it sounds like English (lol); and I changed the text and background color on the credits. It's funny, because on the original the credits are on a nice sea color with a sand colored text, but it doesn't appear that way on the web at all! The one suggestion I didn't incorporate was to put the translations on the screen- I didn't do that, but I did make sure the context of the narration was enough for it to make sense. I'm at the point where I'm fussing around with it, so I think that means I'm done- or I'll fuss forever. Thanks again, guys!

Angie, You rock! Your audio was very clear. You've got the perfect voice for this. Also, do you speak Hawaiian? You seem to have perfect inflection. The title, the music, the narration, all flow together very well. This is fantastic. My wife's sister moved to Hawaii, so we visited them last summer. We got to see the turtles and it was a big highlight. However, we didn't get to see this ceremony. How cool! I'll have to show my family tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't speak Hawaiian- though I do tend to have a fairly easy time with languages and dialects. I'm glad it sounds good, but I truly have no idea if I nailed the pronunciations or not. A native might cringe... =o)
