Laboratory Safety Videos

After receiving the safety declaration sample questions that we requested for, we related our safety video animations to it and realized that we still have some things to complete before the developed video can be used as an alternative to the safety manuals.

Our safety video lacks some information that can be found in the manual. These information, that were initially considered as redundant by us, will now be researched on and then included in the video.

Developing the Videos

Software for Video Editing:

Even thought the group went to Sim Lim Square to scout for videos, we have decided to use the video editing software, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, which was provided by the department of Chemical Life Sciences. This is due to the fact that we had a tight budget. After purchasing the drawing tablets, which was of a higher priority, we realized that we didn't have sufficient budget to purchase the costly video editing software, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

However, there was a slight added advantage for us as Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 was more user friendly for beginners like us. Although Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 has more functions and is much more updated, the group felt lost at times and encountered much difficulties while running the trial version. Due to this reason, we decided to carry out the video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.

Software for Animation:

The drawing tablet was mainly used while creating cartoon animations. The software used is Macromedia Flash 8.
