Interview With My Mom

The assignment this time was to to do a short 90 second interview with someone over the President's Day Weekend. Since I was at home for the long weekend I decided to interview my mom and ask her about her horse. So the video below is a short video of my mom talking about her horse. I tried to film some background video of her riding on Sunday, but because it is winter she is riding inside and the lighting is terrible. Therefore, the video that I used as background footage is from last summer. However, I think it still ads a lot to the video. Overall, I am very pleased with how this piece turned out.

My First Video Post

I am posting this video for my new media class. This is the first time I have ever posted a video online, it is also my first experience with a blog. The objective of this video was to create a short show and tell piece, so I decided to film my grandfather's house near the water and my sailboat. I am fairly pleased with how this piece came out, but I definitely regret not writing out a full script before filming because I feel like I am rambling in my standup. I also wish I had stood closer to the camera, it is kind of awkward how far back I am. Otherwise, I enjoyed using Final Cut Pro again, this project is the first time I have used the software in a while. I learned how to use it last year in my broadcast news class, but have not done much with it since.
