My wife is co-leader of the "Rabbit Team" at Project Wildlife. The organization's mission is rehabilitation, education and conservation; our home is often host to baby and junior bunnies. Some are so young that they require hand-nursing! Success means that the animal can be re-introduced into the environment, near the area in which it was found.
This video documented one of Gloria's earliest success stories. I edited in a way that could be used for education and training, as well as a public service announcement. Music is a warm royalty-free selection from SmartSound.
The cuts are simple. The ending is almost a tear-jerker, as the bunny leaps away into its new home. I love this video's simple elegance.
Lessons Learned:
Non-profit groups may be happy to give you a chance to help publicize their mission.
Match the style of the video to the message of the organization.
Other Notes:
This was one of the first videos that I edited with Final Cut Pro on an Apple computer! After years of struggling with crashes and underperforming software on Windows I had finally taken the plunge and found tools that really worked. I used that G5 Power Mac until 2010.
