Your two video notes — re-shot, not re-graded

You looked at the first pass and said the puddle still was not the point of the shot, and the kitchen was still shadowy for no good reason. Both were fair. Both shots have been made again from scratch, and this page shows you the before and after, the exact second in the film, and the measurements — so none of it has to be taken on trust.

This is the film as it is live right now. The orange buttons below jump this player straight to the moment in question — no scrubbing.

1The puddle at the front door

“The puddle would be better if you had the focus of the video frame be on the doorway, where the puddle is the CENTRE OF FOCUS — it’s otherwise hard to tell what’s up.”

RE-SHOT — live now. Introduction video, 0:31.

Correct, and the earlier fix was the wrong kind of fix. Lightening the floor made the puddle visible; it did not make it the subject. The camera has now moved: it is down at a child’s eye level, inside the doorway, looking at the floor. The puddle sits dead centre and fills the middle of the frame, a drip falls into it from the wet umbrella while you watch, the yellow boots stand in the wet at its edge, and wet footprints track away from it. The stairs and the backpack are pushed to the far edge where they belong.

What I need: satisfied, or tell me what is still wrong.

2The kitchen with the first aid kit

“The first aid is better, but still, TOO SHADOWY for no good reason.”

RE-LIT — live now. Introduction video, 0:36.

Also correct, and I can show you why the first attempt failed. What I had called “brighter” was brighter overall while the shadows themselves stayed just as deep and the whole room kept an orange late-afternoon cast. The shot has been re-lit as flat midday daylight and then the shadows lifted directly. Nothing in the room moved — same counter, same case, same green cross, same lettering, same hand.

The kitchen, before and after the re-light

Left: what you were looking at. Right: the frame that is in the film now, at 0:36.

Measured, not asserted. Same frame of the film, before and after, sampled at 0:37, 0:38.5 and 0:40:
BeforeNow
Overall brightness133–136146–150
Darkest quarter of the frame (the shadows themselves)57–6076–82  (+35%)
Orange cast (red minus blue)45–4635–36
The middle row is the one that answers your note: the shadows are a third less dark, rather than the picture simply being turned up.
What I need: satisfied, or tell me what is still wrong.

3Your badges — where they actually are

IN THE COURSE ALREADY — on all 55 published pages.

Your badges were never redrawn and never replaced. The artwork the course serves is cut straight out of the PDF your office supplied — Badges — colour copy, laminate, trim & 3-hole punch, seven pages, created 14 November 2018. The only thing done to it was to lift each badge off its blue background so it can sit on any page.

The 2018 source PDF beside the live badge file

Left: page 2 of your PDF. Right: the file every People Safety page on the course loads today. Same artwork, background removed.

Where they are used: sos-badge-*-cut.png appears on 55 published pages — the 7 module hubs and 48 lesson pages. The badge set I proposed appears on no course page at all; it exists only on the three proposal pages I sent you on 13 August, which is where a proposal belongs.

4The certificate — the one thing I cannot do yet

BUILT FROM YOUR OWN FILES — needs your yes or no.

Your decision is accepted and settled: the original certificate artwork is the artwork, and nothing of mine replaces it. What I do not have is the artwork itself as a file. It reached me as a picture pasted inside an email, which cannot be placed at print quality.

Before asking again I searched everything already on this site — all 1,470 media items, every PDF, and the seven original 2017 course packages. Your badge artwork is there, which is why item 3 above could be proved. The certificate is not there in any form. In the original course the certificate was never part of the course files at all; the narration says “download your certificate from the Learner dashboard”, so it lived in the old learning system rather than in the lessons.

Certificate of Achievement, built from your own files

Print-ready, US Letter landscape, 300 dpi. Your seven 2018 badges lifted from your own PDF and your two supplied logo files placed as-is. Nothing drawn, nothing generated, and “Badge Challenge” appears nowhere on it.

Open the print PDFFull-resolution PNG

What I need — either answer unblocks it: approve the sheet above, or send the original as an attachment — the PNG, the print PDF, or the original Word or design file, whichever exists. Any one of them is enough. The moment it lands it goes in as-is, and this item gets a link like the ones above rather than a promise.

How the film itself was protected

Two shots were replaced inside a finished film, which risks knocking Josh’s narration out of step with the captions. So it was checked rather than assumed: the audio was decoded and hashed before and after, and the film held to its original length.

Audio fingerprint, original cut and today’s cut: 2ee912aae1cea16392b371a41c6d5715 — identical. Length 92.88s against 92.85s. Every caption cue is where it was.
