This project came in just in time for me as I was charged with two similar tasks at the relatively the same time. You see, I had this assignment to complete and I was asked to do a one minute promotion video at my job this week.
As some of you may know, I went to Europe a few weeks ago. Many of you may not know that it was an educational tour. Because eighth graders are coming to our school for preregistration and orientation for the 2011 - 2012 school year, I was asked to put together a video by the trip coordinator to promote her trip to Quebec next year.
I enthusiastically accepted the challenge!
Lynda, here I come!
First, I started with a concept of what I wanted to do. I very quickly realized that one minute wasn’t much time to summarize a 9 day trip to Europe and that most of my useful footage was still pictures. I decided to do this promotion patterned off of the style of the summarization video in the Michael Wesch video.
While watching the video on lynda.com I realized that my iMovie needed to upgrade from ’09 to ’11, so that I did.
I’ve used iMovie before (probably ’08 or earlier) but I would say I’m far from proficient. I also use Final Cut Express which is much more powerful but much more time consuming at the same time. Since I started with EMDT and saw what everyone else was doing with iMovie I decided to give it a revisit.
