holiday madness

just set up a youtube account....

hehehe OK... we have all done it.... surfed youtube....
I have a couple of vid and phone pic sites that I post to.... but I had not seen the need to go to youtube....
well... middle of school holidays... kids are bored... I am too sick and tired to move to far from home....what to do what to do????
kids... go make a movie..... narh, just use the little cameras... they have worked easiest on moviemaker....
hmmmmm... good theory...
they planned the script... rehearsed... then today we shot the action..(I was steady cam mum)
Will has used moviemaker before, so I tried to load them to that....grrrr... not reading formats...so I tried Premiere, haven't used it for a while... but was suprisingly impressed with the ease of use...I showed him the basics, and he went on to edit the movie... titles were a little trickier than moviemaker, but we worked that out...
I set up a youtube account (because they want the feedback...and the other sites I post to are fairly quiet, and I have them posted privately - places like teachertube are awesome for resources, and I posted a couple of vids I have produced as there... I have a few more to add....ANYWAY....
I may have to go back and resize.... their vid is 350mb.... will take ages to upload.... will let it run overnight... but I have added some others... and we shall see.
Will has an account with his cousin, and they make up stupid vids... taking simpsons excerpts and resyncing sounds... so I wanted them to try something a little more skilled....

for now I have uploaded a couple of old vids.... hehehe... me at my best.... with long hair...LOL

Ahh phillip island. Not so much wind tod

Ahh phillip island. Not so much wind today, and the sun is still hiding. Working at point 4. Should be a fun weekend. Now it is sunday. The weather is warmer and magnificent. Ice to in to a steward's hearing yesterday. It was flat out. And today is no different. Only getting a sit down waiting for a mess to be cleaned up on the front straight. More later.
