Thing 8-Video

I had a lot of fun with this one- tho I can see how much work I need with my photography skills! Believe it or not we actually practiced and did 4 takes on this day! I guess no one will be calling me to produce any movies-LOL! It was pretty easy uploading (I have done pictures for other things and on facebook before tho) You Tube makes it VERY easy with basically just a click of a button. I read through the CDLC directions first, but when I got on You Tube, they also have the directions on how to embed onto you blog which was my main concern beings I had never done that before. You Tube is alot of fun, tho I would prefer to watch, not be a participant. Believe me- if I can do it, literally-anyone can:) Another way to share info and of course with sound and motion-always makes it more interesting to watch.
In the school/library setting kids especially are so used to the constant stimulation that as I said, to catch and maintain their attention-more sound and more motion= increased attention span time:)
I have some relatives as well as friends who use this venue constantly to put their talent out there and at least each week or so someone is sending me something to watch that's posted on You Tube-great exposure!

When I played with making a movie as part of a presentation, I was surprised at how easy it was to film. I had a tough time with the editing. The Flip Camera editing software was not very flexible. I didn't post it to You Tube because I hadn't gotten a release from the people I filmed. I am always amazed a the things I see when I do view You Tube videos.
