SECTION

. 1

Q1. What is the required minimum and/or maximum runtime anticipated for this animated video?

21 to 30 seconds

Q2. Does the government require any interactive multimedia components to be integrated within the video?

No

Q3. Will there be a requirement for haptic integration as this will be accessible through a (assumed) touch screen kiosk?

No Q4. You have noted in the Statement for Work ( section 5), that the contractor will work at “their offices”. Do you mean in Silver Springs, Maryland or at our own Cinergy Creative studio?

Work should be completed at the contractor’s location. We do not expect any animation work done in or at our offices.

Because of the high quality animation we’re used to providing, we would need use of our CGI renderfarm and motion capture facilities at our offices.

Q5. Will we be able to upload relevant animations to show you our company’s capabilities to help bolster our bid?

Please send any example of work to oceankiosk@noaa.gov.

Q6. Will we be producing a complete stand-alone video for use in the Kiosk, or will animation content only be provided to NOAA who will include it in a video?

Animation will be included within a video. The existing animation can be viewed on this page: http://oceantoday.noaa.gov/ripcurrent/

Q7. Am I to understand that the length of the digital animation content is between 1 and 3 minutes?

In Q1 we’ve estimated the length of the animation at no more than 30 seconds.

Q8. Will there need to be voiceover narration included, or text only treatments to information?

No voiceover narration necessary. Text treatments can be recommended and will be discussed as part of the review process.

Q9. Who will provide and approve the Spanish Translation, is that to be the contractor?

Another contractor will complete the Spanish translation.

Q10. We are located in Utah. Will one trip to Maryland suffice for development, and if so, how many days of meetings are anticipated? I mention this to help estimate travel costs.

One in-person meeting may be needed. The NOAA planning team can accommodate WebEx or other virtual meeting software as an alternative to meeting in-person. Several check-in meetings along the way will be needed to ensure work is meeting our needs and that the desired outcome is understood.

Q11. Is this to be a 3D animation?

No

Q 12. It is noted that the surroundings are to be photorealistic (water, beach, etc…).

Do the human figures have to be photorealistic as well?

Yes

Q 13. What is the anticipated runtime/duration of the completed animation?

21 o 30 seconds

Q 14. Do you have samples of past animations we can view to get an idea of animation style and quality you desire?

The existing animation can be viewed within the video found on this page:

http://oceantoday.noaa.gov/ripcurrent/

We are looking for a quality and style similar to http://www2.nos.noaa.gov/oceannewskiosk/otksoftware/screensaver-notouch.wmv

Q 15. Is there a budget range set for this project?

The government estimate is not provided for publication. This is a simplified acquisition (under $150,000.00).

Descript: Amendment No. 1 is hereby issued to provide Questions from various offerors and Answers to those questions.

Date for submission of offers is hereby extended until April 16, 2014 at noon ET.
