The Final Film

The Final

What an experience this has been-600 hours later. I have use so many of the tools in my project that we have investigated over the year. I have used many new online tools as well. With this said, I'm calling it quits on this video. This upload will be my last. I'm anxious to try other video projects and feel certain that many aspects will be simpler the second or third time around. I know I don't have a very artist eye because as I looked at other samples they almost have a professional feel to them. I know this is not me. Remember, I'm a squiggle!

Refined, A Little

Here, Let's Try This

DBE

DBE means disregard blatant errors! I have noticed the misspellings. I did notice that I forgot to lower the background music in the middle section. I did notice that some pages need re cropping. I did notice problems with text color, poor resolution. I do know that I haven't yet used any transitions but I couldn't wait to show this monstrosity to the world. There are a few things I like about it but not many. I keep reminding myself at this point it is the process not product that I'm learning from.

Oh, oh. oh -oh, oh omg!

Pangs of pride radiated through me as I successfully downloaded my circus music from ITunes. Not only have I set up an account this summer but have used it twice! Rambling to get my video open so I could insert my music, I could hardly wait. I remembered how easy it was in my year end video at school and was sure it would be a snap. Well, it wasn't a snap, or a snap crackle, or a snap, crackle, pop....it was a flop! But again I must say, "Boy, did I learn a lot! iTunes downloads in a format to be used on iPods, iPhones...not what I needed for Photostory 3. Hmmm! I searched for a conversion tool on my computer but no. After consulting with my sister and my daughter I found at least 2 ways to get my music converted. I ended up using Zamzar and found it quite user friendly. If I can do it anyone can. I must admit that my sister did rescue me when I converted to the wrong format and was about to collapse. It reminded me of a very bad Christmas light fiasco involving me and other sister. You know the point at which frustration, exhaustion and hunger make it impossible to continue with you plan? So anyway it is back to work. I'm determined to finish.

Hello!

I'm so glad the list of other birdwatchers is posted. I poked around yesterday to see how others were doing. I didn't actually find any finished projects but I did view some student samples of book trailers and realized that kids are much better at this than I. None the less I'm trudging ahead. This morning before church I refined the visual part of my video and some of the attached text. Just now I found and bought my circus music from iTunes and am anxious to put it all together. I'm hesitant to do the audio since I'm not that crazy about my voice. I'm thinking of asking someone to do it for me. We will see.
