For the B-Roll Artifact, I took four different strategies. Primarily, I wanted to try to make the footage on my own. After a little bit, I realized that may be harder than expected.
I wanted to use some of my technical background to make some cool footage related to technology. I set out to make a graphic related to DT&L and expected this to be a title screen of sorts. I enjoyed making this but it turned out a bit elementary.
Another attempt I made was to film B-roll in Space 154. I was using a 3D printing pen which I enjoyed and thought was very cool. While filming I found out that camera work is not my strong suit. But something that I could work on if I wanted a B-roll career in my future. After trying it on my own, I wanted to try it with generative Ai and other tech. I went through adobe stock videos and looked for those that I saw fit best into our documentary. I learned how large of a library that adobe has and found many useful videos.Finally, I used generative AI to make some of my b-roll footage. I used a website called vecteezy to build out my footage. I started with basic prompts like "robot" and ended with some footage I related to our focus on farming changes. Overall, I really enjoyed learning how to source and make B-roll footage. I had seen it as the easier part of filming or making a movie but I see it in a different light now.
