First Week of School

This is my first post from the iPod Touch in a while. I promised myself that I would reflect on my first week some time during the weekend...but I kind of forgot about that. Regardless, I will simply say that it has ben like any other year, with the exception that my schedule was rather messed up when I first got it. However I was fortunate enough to get that taken care of on the first day. I'll go ahead and say something my friend say back in 2004 - "This will be a long year."

APUSH Project Status Update 6 - The Watergate Break-in Intro

Hmm, 6 video layers just to make this one...at least it didnt' take too long to produce this video.

APUSH Project Status Update 5 - The Case of Richard Nixon

Sigh...I miss writing my daily blog posts about my day at COSMOS. It just doesn't feel the same at home, even if I am updating myself on the stuff about how the history project is going. Likewise, I think I am wasting time uploading these videos to blogger. I should be uploading them to YouTube under a playlist for the entire documentary. But then again, I also want to upload stuff from Alaska and Disneyland first. This is why I wish YouTube could organize the videos I uploaded by date, much like the way Flickr handles video.

APUSH Project Status Update 4 - Baking Soda Commercial

Only four more videos left to be produced today, because I declared today to be an "APUSH work day." That means I am going to produce at least 5 segments of the entire project. And the soreness in my jaws from my wisdom teeth removal isn't helping.

This is the baking soda commercial, Version 9.0820.1 RC. Two ads down, one to go.

Also, on the refrigerator, there's a that magnet that says "COSMOS UCI" and "Vail Resorts"

Sunny Select Baking Soda - I'm using their brand name. I consider this a fair use because it's not for commercial purposes and is for my school project only.

APUSH Project Status Update 3 - Intro

Here is my introduction for the documentary. This is the best I can do for now, since I am not perfect with video editing. I was considering to use the audio recorded from the external mic that is not shown in the video, but the quality was not that good. I decided to stick with the mono input from the Flip Mino HD instead.

For those of you who are aspiring videographers, you all know that this is not HD 720p. That's because I'm too lazy to wait that large of a file to upload as a draft. As always, comments are welcome.
