Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve written anything here, but I’m back for another semester of multi-media training! This semester is all about video, a topic that, I will admit, makes me a bit nervous. My past attempts to make good, non-home-movie style videos have not been as successful as I would like.
But, my confidence is bolstered by my accomplishments last semester with photo, audio, editing and Soundslides - overall, I did better than I anticipated.
So - back to video - I LOVE this series of Web sites called ‘Make Internet TV’ (Thanks to my professor, Mindy McAdams for directing us to it). The simple tips are practical and easy for people who want to learn, but don’t have all the money or technical know-how to use lots of extraneous equipment - (use a broom to make a boom mic - use a skateboard to get a good panning shot - my kind of advice!)
And the simplicity of the illustrations makes it all seem so - not scary. As far as instructional Web sites go, I give this one five stars! I have a feeling I’ll be visiting this site many times this semester.
