I don't know that there's much to say about this one. As the eBranch, we tend to be the posters of the videos rather than producers. I would like to see more videos produced as I think it's a good promotional tool.

iHCPL #46 - Movie Maker Basics
OK, so we've gotten an overview of making a video - and I even made a music video with Animoto, now on to (Windows) Movie Maker Basics.
So, I found so videos of my dogs I shot when we were doing one of the videos for iHCPL. Beth's video is here. I'm going to see what I can create from the raw footage, since it's available, and I love my dogs!
So, it wasn't too bad creating the video. I used several pieces of footage that we shot for the original iHCPL, added my transitions, found some music on CNET, and saved my file. The hardest part was finding music that worked with my video. I suspect that for a library oriented video - of say a program - it wouldn't be quite so hard, but I just couldn't find something I liked. I just don't think that video is my medium for creativity.
Now to figure out uploading to YouTube!
iHCPL #45 - Making a Video
So, I'm going to do the video module. This is the first post on Making a Video. OK, this is a nice easy start. I've used Windows Movie Maker a bit in doing stuff for the eBranch. It's pretty easy to use, but not super easy. Animoto we used during the original iHCPL for one of the "computer's down - we need a break" free exercises and that was LOTS of fun.
The Flip camera's are easy to use, although I don't like that they add an ad for the Flip at the end of your video. I've used a regular camera to film a video and that's probably the easiest. I haven't tried one of the newer digital camcorders, but hope to sometime soon.
Just for fun, I also did an Animoto video - of some of my wedding photos. It's a fun and easy way to create a short music video - plus I can share it with my friends and family, even though they've seen the pictures already.
