Blog for the week: Give us an honest appraisal (venting?) of your next journey steps around trying to produce your Capstone Project video. What problems did you encounter? How did you solve them? The intent is open a useful discussion that can help raise the bar for everyone.
At the time of this Blog, it is a Friday afternoon before Spring Break, so I apologize for any ramblings. I have to admit that I’m still struggling and procrastinating a little bit on my video. I’ve created a list of all the things that I want to get done over the break and the video is on the top of that list. My next step is to edit my script, because the feedback I got from the group was that it was too long. Once I get that down to about 90 seconds, I’m going to record it into iMovie. My last blog I said I wasn’t going to use iMovie because everything I’ve done so far has been on my Lenovo ThinkPad, but I’ll be using our family MacBook Pro for the video. I hope there’s no problems uploading the video to LIL after it’s complete...so far I haven’t used the Mac for any Touro stuff, makes me a little nervous. After the audio, I need to upload my videos and pics to iMovie. I struck out when I hooked up my iPhone to the Mac, iMovie didn’t recognize it as a camera, but Roger said I would work around that by downloading the pics/vids to iPhoto, then transfer them over. Haven’t had a chance to do that yet, partially because of time, partially out of fear of failure and not having a back-up plan in place yet...this is the first thing on the docket for me this weekend, not only so I can check off the assignments on the HW doc, but the video is the only thing I need to get finished for my “Home” page to be complete on the Capstone! Good Luck all...

First of all I have to say that I am impressed to see that you were doing homework on Friday afternoon. Usually that's the day I give myself to do nothing, specially before break.

Hi Joe. I used iMovie for my video, also.

Joe- Hopefully by now you have made some progress and are feeling a bit less stressed about this project! It sounds like you have a solid plan in place and a vision for your final product. Now it's just figuring out the technical nuts and bolts. Once my video was finalized, I didn't have any trouble uploading it to my capstone or to YouTube so I hopefully you have the same experience. Good luck and try to squeeze in at least a few moments of relaxation this week!

I hope by now you're feeling good about what you've accomplished with your video. I was like you in that I procrastinated a bit because this task seemed overwhelming and I feared failure. You have a solid plan and a vision which is huge! I hope you have had some time to relax a bit during break.

Thanks everyone for the support...I was able to sit down on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, record my audio/video, and complete my video. I was having a lot of trouble because I was using an older version of iMovie, but once I updated, I was able to complete all the parts of the video and upload it to YouTube easily...that was a huge task off my list. I believe I was actually celebrating and crying tears of joy when it finally worked!! Thanks again for the support.
