Seventy-Five?

We're trying to make a thirty second company overview video for Protopasta.   It's the kind of video you see on Amazon product pages (where this one is destined to go) that show about the company or about the collection of products they offer. 

Protopasta sent us a video from another company—a video interestingly I was sent by that very company over a year ago to show me what his factories in China looked like and the production they were doing in the filament realm. 

That video is done very professionally in a factory that has white walls, is brightly lit, and is organized in such a way as to make the environment look bright and warm.  Protopasta's plant is very nice, but it has a much more industrial feel with grey walls with an almost cluttered look, even though they are very organized.   

How can we make a video that looks bright and inviting?   We have a white backdrop, and they have a lot of beautifully colored filaments.   I brought it all out (I had no idea I had seventy-five different spools of their filament, but we've been getting more from them over time, so I suppose it makes sense.)

Maybe some stop-motion animation with filament appearing and disappearing, pans, exciting models, something.  We'll figure it out, I hope.  

The Big Boy Update:  My son is up so late these days.   We can't get him to settle down and go to sleep, and he's not a baby anymore so we have little control.   He comes down to hang out with us when we've told him three times to go to bed.  School is coming soon and he's going to have to get up early. 

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter is doing the egg drop challenge.  I'm so excited about this.  She wants to use helium balloons to slow the descent.   I'm not sure what the constraints are, but I'm really interested in what she comes up with.   I want to help (and try not to take over out of enthusiasm for the project.)
