An Ikegami HL43 camera with docking Beta SP camera was used for the video production. Video segments were logged and catelogued by module and topic. Video modules were initially assembled and edited on an AVID digital editor and then transferred to video tape. The graphics and art design for the videos were specially created by Easton Design of Salt Lake City. The background images depict the organic themes inherent throughout the PREP modules.
Background images consist of torn rice paper, sandpaper, and granite stone.
The subtle moving shadow effect over the backgrounds was created by shining a light through a rotating water cooler bottle. The PREP CD-ROM was produced using Macromedia Authorware as its programming software under the direction of Multimedia Executive Producer Paul Burrows. Questions and answers for all ten modules were stored in a FileMaker Pro database before the data was exported to Authorware. Video clips were digitized using Adobe Premiere, compressed in the form of Cinepak at 15 frames per second and 24 bit colors, and saved as QuickTime movies at 280x180 resolution. Audio clips from the video tapes were digitized using Macromedia Sound Edit16 and compressed at 16 bit and 22.05 KHz for CD quality.
