Well, another week of school closings and delays. Alot of snow, then alot of rain, then more snow and now it is 10 degrees. What a week. But at least I have completed my video.
It took a lot more work than I thougth. I didn't have access to a digital video camera, so I did it all with photos. That meant more Photoshop work so the whole project would be 100 MB or more.
My video is about how to construct an ethernet cable. It is somethingt that I teach each year to my students and to stand up in front a class and explain it is a whole lot easier than putting it into a movie!!! My morning students were the "hands" in the pictures and I must give them credit. They had fun and they did a great job. Their names are listed at the end of the video.
I estimate that I had about 10 hours into producing the movie. That is a long time for me to sit at the computer, although I did it in stages.
I used my Nikon D80 digital camera, a tripod, and the tools and equipment in my classroom.
For the actual production, I used Windows Movie Maker, some music that my daughter downloaded for me at iTunes and Photoshop to do the production.
I would be happier if we only had to do one of these, but I know there is another one to do.

There was a lot of time put into mine too and I didn't even have to record anything! Yours sounds interesting. I also wish we didn't have to do a second one. Good Luck!!
You are really dedicated to getting your education. I can't believe that you drive that far to come to class. I get upset for having to drive 20 minutes!!
