Foundation Movie Assignment

or click here

I definately had a difficult time with this video because I haven't really done anything with video editing. I wanted to make it simple so I just shot the video from iphoto, which worked out great. It was really easy and straight forward to use... until I got to imovie. Then it became very difficult. Print screening was also very easy too. I had a difficult time getting the pictures into my movie, but after all the frustration it worked out. Here are a few things I learned during this assignment:

- learned how to print screen photos

- learned how to use iphoto

-learned how to use imovie

- learned which buttons were clicked to play, record and stop video

- learned how to change the background of the video

The Galaxy Nexus has been available all over the world, except the United States for almost a month now. Verizon was holding up the release for some unknown reason.

The Android Blog

I ran into some trouble trying to record my screen on my mac where I had my blog ready to be recorded. I also did not allow enough time to do this project, poor planning on my part. I tried both photobooth and Quicktime on my macbook and neither would let me insert screenshots or record the screen and myself at the same time.

See the video below, my blog is located at http://androidblog2011.blogspot.com

Marty Dow Blog Introduction

I did not allow enough time to do the project. I encountered a few problems. I loaned my digital movie camera to my girlfriend to video her daughters dance recital, so I did the screen shots with my droid phone. I had never downloaded from my phone before, so I had to set up the phone in my laptop. I recorded the main video with my laptop and Microsoft Moviemaker. Editing it was not bad. I was familiar with doing that. As the professor said to upload I had to do more than just having a standard YouTube Video Account. Once I did that I could not upload the video because it was the wrong file format. YouTube had a good tuitorial on how to convert it. I have to use an old computer to access the internet reliably, so the file is saved to a removable memory card and now I am uploading to the blog, I hope all goes well.
Technological Logistics bit me in the butt.
