    T-Minus 4, 3, 2, 1

    I had fun this week making some more video assignments. Iā€™m starting to get the hang of the program I am using. For my daily creates this week, I again stuck with the plan of getting those done as early as possible. The two that were my favorites were the Frank Zappa ā€“ Hot Rats one and the ā€œFroget the small stuff.ā€ I was going to post it around somewhere on campus, but for now, it is sitting on my monitor, helping motivate me for the rest of the semester. Iā€™m curious what next weekā€™s assignments are going to beā€¦

    Final Cut is handy!

    by
    The process for making this assignment was pretty straightforward. I was asked to find various clips from movies or tv shows and add music to the background. I decided to take clips from some movies I had rewatched recently. I first found the clips online and downloaded them. The next step was creating a new project and uploading the files to the program. I found it a bit easier to identify timestamps with YouTube and then select the right parts in Final Cut. My favorite feature so far with the program is the ability to extract the audio from aā€¦

    So I decided to put my own spin on this assignment, as I wanted to get outside. I have been working on biking more, even though this semester has been challenging, and it always helps me feel better afterward. So the idea for the assignment was to film myself exercising outside and play music to the video. I realized quickly that riding a bike and having to shift gears and film all simultaneously was probably not the best idea, so it is relatively short. I did find the best audio track to set this video, too, as I really feltā€¦

    Back Again, With More Answers

    by
    I decided to do a follow-up assignment to one I did last week. I am answering all of the remaining questions for this assignment. It was a bit funnier this time around, but I think the person who created the original project did a fantastic job. Their acting skills were over the top =] I did some thinking and talked to several people in the class about different programs everyone has been using for video editing. In the end, I decided to stick with Final Cut Pro, and now I have a better understanding of breaking up the clips andā€¦
