Here's the link to You Tube. The making of this short video was pretty fun. I had some trouble in the beginning and throughout as well. Every time I couldn't figure out how to do something I got a little frustrated. The tutorials weren't very helpful because I was using iMovie 2008, or something. The newest version is different from the version in the tutorial. The tutorials that were available in iMovie were geared more towards video editing, which is something I think we will be doing next semester which is pretty exciting. I think if the images (students) were actually moving then the video would have been more fun to make.

I'm quite pleased with the way it all turned out. The music really makes it all come together. I think I could have shortened the frame of a few images and made them at 2 seconds or less. I liked where the song ended up and that's why I kept it at the length that it is. I would have liked to do more transitioning with the images but I couldn't figure out how to do some of the more interesting stuff like in K. Oleska's video. I would have also liked to change where the song started and ended or clipped the song a little, but I also couldn't figure out how to do that. I think if I were working with Photoshop and some sort of music making program then I would have an easier time making it all come together better. I still wish that I knew how to utilize some of these programs more. Maybe I could take a class on video editing, music making, and Photoshop all in one!
