This
has been a productive week for my Genius Hour. I completed the movie trailer
and have written my TED talk (although I haven’t actually presented it yet).
Apart from the Learning Object, which I will complete within the next few days,
I’m pretty much done!
I loved loved loved making the movie
trailer. I used iMovie for the first time and it was relatively easy, plus it
was so much fun using the puppets to make the trailer. It’s been a long time
since I’ve done anything like that, so it’s nice to get back into the
drama/theatre side of things again, even if it is just for this brief project.
My fiancé Jeff was a tremendous help
in making the trailer, because initially I had been unsure of what to do for
the setting. I considered going outside and shooting in a nearby park, but Jeff
had the great idea of using our TV and setting up backgrounds on the TV. It
worked a lot better than either of us expected, actually. For future videos, I
am definitely making use of puppets and various backdrops again. Everyone loves
puppets.
The TED talk is going to be longer
than the five minutes expected, and I still didn’t fit in barely anything I
wanted to say, but no one really wants to listen to me talk for an hour, which
I easily could! As much as I like the sound of my own voice, I’ll spare the
general public from hearing too much of it and keep the speech short.
