A concept in 60 seconds

Another challenge for this week: to film from different and interesting angles, edit our footage, and strip the audio to layer music or a voice over on top of it, and the final product can only be 60 seconds.

I decided to continue using the capoeira kids class that I assist in as my inspiration. I used both my iPhone and my Flip camera to shoot the footage, just to test out how both would look. I also tried to get different views in the class, but that was a little difficult. The gym gives us the training cage space during our time, and I was a bit too close to get a nice view zoomed out. The best I could do was to span the space.

Using the iMovie program on my computer proved to be handy. This was the second time I used it for this class, the first being the podcast introduction, where I edited a video I recorded right from the webcam. This was the first time I put together footage I had to import. There was some experimenting and playing around, but I finally figured it out. *This video was measured at 1 minute in my iMovie program; somehow a second was added when uploading to YouTube. I'm not sure why that is, but at least it was not excessively over one minute.
