Enjoying video

I really enjoy creating video. There is so much creative freedom involved and that creative control is really exhilarating. The assignment for this week was challenging because there is such a vast amount of information available on the web that the fact that we had to narrow it down to a one minute video was very difficult. I finally decided that I should do a video about something I enjoy and that is golf. The video I created was from You Tube and it was interesting to see how much power could be generated from a golf club making contact with a golf ball. I was hoping to capture the force created by the strength of Jason Zuback, his driver, and the force from the driver pounding the golf ball. I incredibly impressive that he was able to generate enough power to thrust a golf ball through 2 plates of tempered glass. Amazing!!!

Multimedia Fun

I love the challenge of putting together a picture through multimedia. It allows you to create something that could inspire people as well as motivate them to do more or even be more. This week I had an assignment to create a digital story using photos, music, as well as other tools to help create the story. I had a blast doing this and I'm really looking forward to the next assignment. I used some previous experience to create the video. First I began writing the script and storyboard to help create the flow of the story and once I had that all down it was pretty easy to get the rest of the story to fall into place.
