Hi I’m Fred Carbine. I am an MSIT Graduate Student with Marlboro College. I’m here to present my Capstone Project, which was an Overview Video for a Non-Profit Military Museum. This will be a 20 minute presentation. I’d like to save all questions for the end of the presentation. Before I be

VVMML accessibility and viewability is compromised since it is on secured military base
Museum’s only source of funding are donations, grants and memberships.
Historically, the museum has drawn tourist group (schools) contribution and membership dollars through world of mouth, which keeps them barely afloat. However, if a more widespread and inexpensive marketing medium is used, the museum increases its likelihood of drawing even more tour groups for donations and memberships while saving advertising expenditures. This permits the museum more money for maintenance and future expansion.
So, what is the marketing solution for the VVMML. Traditional Print Ads and television ads can quickly run up to thousands of dollars.

-I lacked web video producing skills. It would take too much time to produce video based on project timeline. To mitigate the risk, needed intuitive tools that had effective presentation.

Audacity is Free. Soundslides costs only $69. Both tools are intuitive to users. The technology can create quality slideshow videos that are You Tube compatible.

Great, you have produced a video, but
You need to test the target market. VVMML’s, based on their previous tour numbers, are Teachers/Students, Veterans and their Families, and Senior Citzens.

Watch out for the sponsor who avoids being involved in the challenges and nuances required in deliverable development, but has no problem suddenly playing critic once the deliverable is done. They may think they know it when they see it. But doesn’t anyone. It is too easy to play critic when the product is a finished one.As a PM, never work in the technology or creative aspect of the project, too hard to separate from both. You also resent the fact that after hours and hours of creative development, as a pm, you have to order yourself to go back to the drawing board, which you sometimes resist. In a creative project like this one, everybody has an opinion, however, some of those opinions need consensus from the target market, since they could be way off base.
So, this project did the following:It helped the VVMML solve their marketing needs with very affordable technology, effectively getting their message out to their target audiences via the web. It used testing methods to improve quality, usability and educational value of the project deliverablesLastly, it provided useful, ongoing metrics to manage future success of the project deliverablesI went into this project wanting to learn more about online marketing. Not only have I learned about online marketing, but I learned so much more-interviewing, storyboarding, the video production process, You Tube’s Marketing Tools, change management in an organization and managing a project form beginning to end. The Capstone process…allowed me to integrate all my class work in this project…which I believe…is really what it’s all about!
