Hmmm, after one video, I’m thinking I could possibly make my own series of EMS tutorials to help teach new members down at the station! (Maybe someday)

This assignment was titled Everyday Modern Marvels. The assignment is to create or assemble something and overlay with audio each step. Well, I sure am becoming a master at overlaying audio on my videos in Windows Movie Maker, so how hard could this be?! Let’s give it a whirl!

Now, there are a TON of things to learn as you are coming into the EMS field as a newbie. (But it is okay, we were all there at one point in our lives too) We even developed a packet program to help introduce new members to specific items on the unit and basic knowledge on how to use them. But, not to get sidetracked, the most frequently asked question to me down at the station is, “Hey Rob, can you show me how to change the portable oxygen tank?” Surrrrrrre, it’s a simple task, anyone can do it, and it only takes like 3 minutes! But here, let me have my video explain:

I taped the video using the girlfriend’s camera…and I guess I forgot to credit her for recording the video for me…whoops. Uploaded the video to Windows Movie Maker and turned the video audio down once again. I then used Audacity to record my voiceover on how to assemble the oxygen tank. I also grabbed a How It’s Made audio soundtrack off of YouTube using Fastest Youtube Downloader and then placing that with my voiceover on Audacity. I then exported the file as a MP3, and imported it into WMM to create the video you just watched!
