So, as I’m sure everyone else found out, this assignment was loads of fun.  It was an absolute pain in the ass to set up and figure everything out.  First I downloaded my video clips from YouTube, but I didn’t realize you had to change the format, so all my clips saved as mp3′s, and I had to go back and re-download them.  Then, i had to convert them….I tried three times, and it failed every time.  I used the same software on Sam’s laptop (also a MacBook) and it worked like a pro on the first attempt.

Then, I got everything into IMovie and started rearranging, clipping, and editing.  I found some cool tools to insert little blocks of text, so I added a bunch of those in just for kicks.  The audio was also a pain, trying to get everything lined up and clipped properly.

Here’s a link to my video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP2EeXWLQe8.  I like it, and I think for it being my first time EVER doing this, it came out pretty good.  That’s what I love about this course, and these assignments, is that they don’t have to be perfect, they are meant for an introduction to each of these mediums and tool.  I’m sure I will be able to use these in the future for work, school, and personal enjoyment, like making videos for my car and stuff like that.
