    So, there are these three genius 6th grade kids or move up to my 9th grade geometry class. They won this big science competition and got interviewed with fox news. My bud (yea he's short lol) and I sat in the back and watched, little did we know we were on camera the whole time, penspinning of course. So if I can't find out a way to get me and him off of the video clip I'm threatened with expulsion, no joke. So if there are any of you tech/video editing pros out there if you could try to work at it or tell me how to work on it, it would be greatly appreciated [video=youtube;L8cbYE8Vqy0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8cbYE8Vqy0[/video]

    Because my school likes bragging to other schools. They were planning on some major bragging rights but now they can't because of "us." The parents of the kids wanted to brag to other schools too, and their opinion matters because the parents of all three of the kids have donated over a million to the school.

    Youre threatened with EXPLUSION? WHAT SHIT IS THAT? Honestly, I cant help you. BUT. In Shomoyo's or whatever, Obama Sings Replay, they isolate Obama moving, and added themselves in there. The rest were paused. Im pretty sure you can just add a layer over the video, with you and your buddy just sitting there. Yeah itl look wierd, but thats i got at the moment. Im really sorry to hear that. Also, I recieved your money today

    Yea, it's total bs, but donors of that level get whatever they want. Yea, I think I'm going to try some type overlay, definitely seems like the easiest way, thanks. As long as they can show this to other schools I'm fine.

    Poisened I'm almost positive that what the school is trying to do to you is illegal. I think that you should get a lawyer and sue their asses into the ground. Edit: Wait do you go to a charter school, cuz if you do then you're pretty much fucked.

    They want to expell you for doing something awesome while 3 six grade fucks came into your classroom and invented some football helmet shit, that no one in the real world is going to use. Sorry if I am uninformed. Too lazy to watch past the first 2 mins.

    You can very easily mask them out in AE, I think you'd need to do some motion tracking too. I forgot most of the stuff I knew how to do in AE, you'll have to ask taichi1082. Though its a lot easier to tell you that your parents are your most powerful weapon. Schools are scared shitless of the students' parents. Though, you go to a private school so I'm not sure. But if bragging rights is worth expelling a student, why don't they expel one of those three kids for saying "um" a good several times. It makes kids from the school look unprepared and slow to process their thoughts, doesn't it? Why don't they expel you for your long, shabby looking hair; it makes you look unkempt, obviously not good for the school's reputation now is it? Pretty pathetic school staff. But if this really gets serious and taichi can't help, PM me and I'll do it.

    Tell your school to fuck off, they have absolutely no jurisdiction of what you are doing on the internet.

    jeez your school and the parents of those kids are fucked up. seriously this is stupid, cant the fox guys do it? i mean they are a TV channel they ought to have the knowledge to do so. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PENSPINNING IN THE BACKGROUND? its just like normal unavoidable disturbances on TV. i agree with Zaki. without parents, ur school can be shut down anytime. I got a a teacher fired before thanks to my parents, with a valid reason that she were always picking on me in primary school. sorry but this is one of the most ridiculous things i've heard this year

    Looks like those kids only want themselves on TV. Too much of a braggart. :/ gawd, can't fox news even do it? Don't tell me they don't have a video editor in their crew? Parents > school!

  24. poisoned
    Date: Tue, Dec 7 2010 15:12:35

    Well, I wasn't able to have a video done unfortunately. Today I'm have another meeting with them taking an apologetic stance, because even if parents>school, the other parents have donated a couple hundred thousand dollars to the school each year and I'm on financial aid, so their parents>my parents. I will bring up the editing video idea with them as a work in progress, and update this thread on what happens.

    This is complete bs. Okay even though you were spinning, through NO FAULT of yours were you put into the video. You were in class where you were supposed to be. And guys, this is not Fox news' issue here. It's between poisoned and these gay ass parents that are beating down on him. Are they really going to have you expelled from a school just because they want to brag to other people about these kids and they have the "behind the scenes" influences to do so through money? I don't see why they don't use the fucking money to just go ahead and HIRE a god damn person to do it for them. Are they that retarded? EDIT: I mean this is insane. If it happens, I think you should just get a lawyer and sue their asses to the ground like Tylt said. +1 tylt

    Like this? So yeah, here is a how to: http://hotfile.com/dl/88018916/9fe6392/VideoTut.mp4.html (Raw footage 8) , DDL, no waiting etc) Sorry, I would have done this myself but I can't right now. I hope the tutorial is ok. I hope someone else has the time, depending on how urgent this really is... Another thing: Why do you have to remove this now? Isn't the video already on youtube now? On what channel? Can you edit the video and reupload it or what? I doubt that this is going to change anything. But then again, I'm not the one in danger right now 8) I hope you don't get expelled for a joke like that lol.

    It would be great if I could replace the file on fox news, but they mainly want to have a file they can email to other schools.

    Gave my 2cents :] Unfortunately these three bright children are a bit late. Not to be to blunt, but their conclusions seems way to obvious.There are much better helmet designs and systems to protect trauma but it all comes down to cost.. They act like it's such a big deal but there are already much better helmet designs. out there. Sure they're in 6th grade, but this seems like an overblown kiddy experiment such as seeing what the best insulator is... an insult to a child's intelligence really. __________ Also, to you all criticizing the two pen spinners in the back behind the three speaking, the creativity and out of box thinking most pen spinners gain as they continue dedicated practice is something you must not find worthwhile. Even if you don't value these aspects of ones character I'm sure any advanced pen a spinner has created, or an advanced spinners in depth knowledge of the mechanical workings of a pen, teach engineering skills which far outweigh having to tie a string to a helmet. (posted on youtube) I'm not going to make judgement on the children themselves but understanding your situation, this is just ridiculous... If they really expel you... wow i'm sorry. supreme court case? =D. I'm not sure how it applies to private schools but I'm pretty sure it's illegal (probably not though..) :\ no offence but it's not like it's the best interview anyways, and someone could have told you guys to stop or something. (honestly that interview is not something i'd want to be bragging about anyways...)

    Biiig thank you for spending your time helping me out. I went in today kissing ass being extremely apologetic, and I talked about editing the video, wrote apology letter etc. From what it seems like they can't expel me for this whether they like to or not, and with my apology they have come to some rationality. It looks like still to please the parents I will be given an unrecorded suspension. They are happy about the video being edited, and I definitely owe you for this. Now with the urgency down quite a bit you could take your time on finishing it. I know this is probably seems like a pretty boring ending for as big as this turned into, but it's the best ending. Didn't mean to make such a big deal/troll here either, I had just made this thread because I was fcking scared and was looking for some help. Its nice to be in a community that actually gives a crap about other members, so thanks for everyone who helped out.
