Is it possible to make a synchronized version by underlying a new sound track? I could write out the texts and translate them into German. [I would also read them, I am used to speaking in front of people. But maybe there is somebody here who can do that better and has a really "audiocompatible" voice?] Or, if you really want you can go ahead and record a new voiceover translation. I can mix it in very easily.

Yup maybe what I'll do is make subtitles and then upload all those individual timed lines so people can go and replace them and i can just cut and paste to make subtitles in differnt languages.

Perhaps this link was what you were looking for? http://digg.com//lbv.php?id=1144293&ord=1 oh, thats a nice link. yeah today is the day of premature posting. i posted the updated link and then went back and edited the broken link in the previous post so there would be no confusion. maybe i need to get away from the computer for a little while :)

6) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta@home video COMPLETED (Message 34375) Posted 8 Jan 2007 by laurelin Post: Is there a statement anywhere about copyright? I mean your intention is that this video be used to encourage Rosetta participation. Is there any statement confirming that people can copy and use the video for that purpose? I'm assuming that a slightly higher quality video will be available directly on this website for download. Such a statement would probably accompany it. If I hear from David Kim or David Baker about it, I'll communicate that info. Or if they want to reply to this post?
7) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta@home video COMPLETED (Message 34339) Posted 8 Jan 2007 by laurelin Post: Just uploaded to youtube HERE Gonna put it on Digg tomorrow, after I carefully craft a blurb. Will link so everyone can digg it up. Hope you guys like the soundtrack :) I'm real happy with it.

It's lookin great Laura. One thing I noticed - ~56s in there's the antibodies binding to the virus and then the virus can't bind to the cell. I don't think it's clear what's happening there for non- biologists. Could you label the cell and then put a written description saying that the antibodies are stopping the virus binding with the cell? Danny
9) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28715) Posted 29 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: I made a fancy new title sequence and also switched around 2 of the interviews so that the 'why you should care' bits are 25 sec in! David Baker and I are also working on a better explanation of the screensaver, which will be recorded soon. I have this guy working on a soundtrack as well :) Baker Lab Video!
10) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28629) Posted 28 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: are there any subtitles for this video? if not can someone make a subtitle in english pls because i dont know how to arrange the time sequences. after i can take the file and translate it into my own language. it would be easier for the newbies to understand. 10x I can make some subtitles.
11) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28588) Posted 27 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: Yes you can use it within your dept. But keep checking back for updates. Yeah I'm actually still playing with/thinking about that intro. I used to have this heavily composited thing and then cut it for something real simple. I guess the idea is that it is a picture of a 'home' computer (even thought it is my workstation in my office :). So, something abstract zooming out to a nice little desk setup. I'll play with the coloring and see if i can make it look more snazzy. Otherwise I'll have to think of something else.
12) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28570) Posted 27 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: Also here is a link cause i forgot to put in tags in the original post Baker Lab Video! Also you can right click, download this way.
13) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28569) Posted 27 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: I'll try to dig up the original and have you compare. I think that the edit is OK.
14) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28568) Posted 27 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: I cut off the beginning segment because it was too long. The ending is the same...
15) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28564) Posted 27 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: its ~60 mb right now I'm planning on making available a high quality version. Also maybe a divx compression. Also, YouTube.
16) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 28558) Posted 26 Sep 2006 by laurelin Post: OK everyone, it's been a long time coming but I have the edit done. Still working on sound-- going to re-record the voiceover, tone down background noise, and add a bit of music. http://www.lauralynngonzalez.com/things/rosettateam/bakerSmall.mpg Comments are welcome, things I specifically want input on are: 1. Does the script work? 2. Does my voice work for the voiceover? I'm going to re-record as I said, and it shoudl turn out a little clearer/cleaner. I may get this australian guy to do it, but I thought that having a female voice is better. 3. Do you think that the screensaver explanation should be seperate from the film? Voiceover script: NARRATOR The sequence of amino acids that makes up proteins is directly determined from the genetic code, otherwise known as the sequence of molecules in DNA. DNA, like proteins, is also made of molecular subunits with specific properties. Within the nucleus, a kind of imprint of DNA is transcribed into a similar molecule called RNA. Carrier molecules transport amino acids to an enormous structure called a ribosome. The ribosome translates the information in RNA into a chain of amino acids. NARRATOR A strand of amino acids, the order of which has been determined by the genetic code, can indeed be thought of as rope- or chain-like. However, the properties of the links, in this case, amino acids, cause portions of the chain to be attracted to or repelled from one another, as well as elements in the cellular environment. What the Rosetta program does, is calculate the likelihood of these interactions between segments of the chain based upon favorable energy levels. The most likely 3D structure of the chain will take the least amount of free energy to fold. NARRATOR Each work unit that your computer processes through Rosetta@home consists of what are called trajectories. The end product of each trajectory is a predicted structure for a protein. When Rosetta is ‘searching,’ it is trying out different moves on the protein chain. It then calculates the energy and ‘accepts’ a particular move. The ‘low energy’ box keeps track of the lowest energy shapes seen so far in the trajectory. If it is know, the experimentally determined true shape of the protein is shown in the ‘native’ box. Rosetta also produces a graph which plots how close the currently accepted structure is to the native state versus the energy of each accepted move in the trajectory. All of the low energy calculations from these trajectories, calculated by your computers, are used to find the very lowest energy structure for a protein THANKS!
17) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 16335) Posted 15 May 2006 by laurelin Post: I think Dr. Baker's explorers analogy might be more meaningful if he could relate it somehow back to the Rosetta calculations of low energy. I mean the analogy actually means more to HIM than to the listener. ... This needs to be in terms that people are familiar with. Things they have seen in their own lives. I think the analogy will be fine in the context of the biological animations and other explanatory graphics (once it is re-filmed). Like I said, only at most 1/2 of the info that will be in the final video is actually in the interview portion. The animations will explain all about amino acids, why proteins' actual shapes are the ones that have the lowest energies, etc, etc. Plus the analogy will segue into a depiction and explanation of the screen saver. Perhaps some of the ideas for extended scenes where the Rosetta team members tell all about themselves and give long detailed analogies can be added later as supplemental material on the website-- the video is already going to be ~8 min long when I wanted it to originally be under 5 min.
18) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 16148) Posted 13 May 2006 by laurelin Post: Yeah, this is a very rough edit, as I mentioned :) I am mostly looking for a critique of the content/order. The sound has not been edited at all. The segments suffering from excessive backlighting will be fixed. I use Vegas Video, my editing program of choice for the last 3-4 yrs. Everything is within the safe action/safe title area (actually playing around with cropping with this edit so all of the footage is actually well within safe action) and the final output will be of professional quality. We are planning on making a promo DVD, along with streaming mpeg and perhaps a mov as well on the rosetta@home website. p.s Yes, Jupiter is a gas giant, we have been planning on re-shooting David's analogy to say "a planet the size of jupiter" or "a large planet." Sorry, should have clarified that in the original post. Any suggestions on shorthand for "a large planet" that brings to mind an immediate mental picture besides "jupiter"?
19) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 16085) Posted 12 May 2006 by laurelin Post: So here is the first rough edit-- just the video footage VIDEO This edit only contains 1/3-1/2 of the info that the final will hopefully convey. Pretty much between every person speaking will be an explanatory animated segment of some sort. Here is my rough outline of video footage + animated segments -UW footage, labs (with narration) -David Baker welcome -Amino acids, genetic code to protein: transcription, translation, peptide bond formation animation (with narration) -Divya-rope analogy -Protein folding animation segues from Divya's analogy (with narration) -David Kim- BOINC, distributed computing -David Baker- elevation analogy -Short animated segue of planetary terrain superimposed on top of the end of David's analogy, transitions into BOINC screensaver -Screensaver depiction and explanation (with narration) -Bin- megascale to nanoscale and back again to help all of humanity (with animated globe, perhaps) -David Baker- mutations in proteins cause disease -Bill Schief- HIV research -Short HIV animation -Lab footage, narration about medicine/cures etc -Rhiju- The Future -UW footage, lab, maybe a pic of the whole team, conclusion This list was made for my own purposes and is not meant to actually communicate too much to anyone that is not me, so just look at it as a view into my work process. It is basically a combo of the animation I linked to at the beginning of this thread and the video footage at the top of this post. Anyway, we were wondering what you all think about the footage. We are probably going to re-shoot some segments.
20) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Rosetta video/outreach project (Message 15948) Posted 11 May 2006 by laurelin Post: i.e. something like the introduction to Jurasic Park's technology on their ride? (Only for a real company with real products/science)? Don't really remember what it's like but, sure!
