After seeing Joseph Jaffe record himself on his fancy Flip, I had to have one. It was last month at an event organized by Tim Brunelle for his Future of Advertising class at MCAD.
I put this together today after fighting with iMovie trying to figure out how to make the playback speed faster and give a part of the video that “fast forward” effect. Turns out that it’s not possible in the newest version of iMovie – you have to download a two-year old version (v6) of iMovie to get that kind of editing functionality. Seriously – that’s what I said.
After the aforementioned finagling, I finally had something resembling a YouTube video. I uploaded it, waited about ten minutes for it to process, and viola – I’m a director, and a producer, and an editor, and a cinematographer!
Funny it only took YouTube three minutes after the ten minutes processing to inform me that I’d used copyrighted material (the soundtrack I added). They said I could either take the clip down, or agree to allow the owners of the material to advertise on the view page. Hmph. Oh, alright!
You are such an amazing guy, and a true inspiration!
I just wish you would smile for yourself more often, and I don’t just mean your pearly whites! Your eyes are so sad, brighten them up with a trip to the local playground with a great friend and let loose on the swings and what-not!
Stay Amazing!
Hey Dan,
Cool Video! I’ve been playing around with screen shot videos for the web committee, and I have a new respect for anyone who can get videos to work!
Brad 🙂
I’m not affiliated with them, but the video quality, features, and community is *so* much better over on Vimeo.
Take care,
Mike
Oops. I meant “are” not “is”.
