Last two days were a lot of fun here at Maynard Multimedia training program.
All of us got DSL camera on the first day we got here and took a lot of pictures over the first weekend.
This week we got our own audio recorders and video cameras. Monday, we learned to do Coveritlive. Yesterday we jumped in and learned to make a slide show with the photos we took.
After the practice, we stayed late to create slide show of our own with audio track. It was fun. Most of us did actually managed to put up the slide shows on our blog, too.
Today, we are tackling videos. Another quick practice, we went out on UNR campus to do “man on the street” video shoots.
Came back and edited videos with type overlay and all other good stuff.
Boy, this session is really start moving fast. It is scarely that we have to learn them so quickly…if I get sidetracked a bit during the class, I get lost. It is quite intense.. we’re all trying to keep up.
Software we are using are Photo mechanics (for photos editing), Audacity (for audio edit), Soundslides (for slide show), and Final cut for video editing. All unfamiliar software to me and many others. Some have some experiences in some of them, and they turn into instructor’s assistants, because everybody needs so much help.
Kind of fun…in that we are all teaching and helping each other.
In a day of two, I should be able to post my first video.
Stay tuned.
