Evaporative Actions are those behaviors we do when we think nobody is looking but as soon as we see someone appear we quickly correct that bad behavior. In other words, the bad behavior evaporates. This was another fun video we did in the silent film style.

Forklift Barriers Safety Video
I had a lot of fun making this video and was my first real taste of Run-n-Gun shooting. Production was still going on and there were people working in and out of the hallway. I remember having to wait until the hallway was clear for a second, get the shot, then having to wait until we were clear again to get the next shot. I took the opportunity to explain to my actors about how “Gone in 60 Seconds” was filmed on the weekend with no permit and we were joining, albeit in a very small way, the ranks of guerrilla filmmakers.
Aldehydes Safety Video
This was one of my favorite videos. This one is on Aldehydes safety and some of the steps we do as a company to prevent oily rags from catching fire. Again, I edited this using one of the many templates available on Stupeflix, I used a handheld digital camera, and used a flashlight to light the areas where I wanted to draw the viewers attention.
Top 5 Injury Safety Video
This is the second video I made about the top 5 most common injury types reported across the industry. I used Stupeflix to edit and Powerpoint to make the title cards. Stupeflix had a variety of different templates one can use to make videos. I believe this one was called Raw. It allowed me to add text to the screen but the software is very limited and you can only put in a few words at a time or it will cut off, so you find yourself having to make adjustments and render a new file every time.
Stairs Safety Video
This is the very first video I made at work. I used only a digital point-n-shoot camera that we have on hand to take pictures of incidents, and I edited the whole thing using Stupeflix, an online editing program. Several of the videos I made used the “silent film” look and that’s mainly because I didn’t have a microphone to record clear sound. Just an example of working with the equipment and software you have on hand.
