Impossible Independence

Here is my History Day competition submission. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll create a link to another format such as wmv, but that file zipped is 186 megs. The flv is only 25 megs:
Impossible Independence Flash Video

I came in first place! Which means I go to states in May.
Please feel free to make suggestions on how I can improve this, but the length must be no more than 10 minutes.

Thanks!

    Kevin, is this a trailer for a game ... or just a video in general? I watched some of it, but am at work and can't really sit down and watch the entire thing through it's entirety ...

    Its a historical documentary scripted using TGB. In other words.. not a trailer. I used Camtasia for the video editing, Audacity for audio editing, and Game Cam for the actual video capture.

    So .... it's a video ... but the screen display is scripted in TGB? Interesting approach ... not quite sure I'd of done it that way, but quite interesting .... good job ... I had no idea it was done in TGB by watching the video ...

    Are the video clips included done using the Theora Gui Controls, or were they overlaid on top of the scripted TGB stuff ... etc, etc ... ?

    Oh and ... CONGRATULATIONS ON FIRST PLACE!

    Good question: I did everything within TGB, no overlays in video or sound. So yes, the Theora Gui came in very handy. Also, for states, I might overlay the audio because I got some strange artifacts in the TGB package that can't be heard when running the sound file directly. Clicks and pops that occur in the same place every time. Very frustrating.
