For this assignment i wanted to work with the theme of the color blue and different types of motion. Using a high definition 'flip' camera i captured footage of cars zooming by on lake shore drive, people riding bikes on the lakefront path and various shots of the lake and lincoln park.
I had fun using the camera and seeing how it works as i've never used the flip before. I found it to be easy to use, while the picture is so crisp its almost better than real life. The only problem i had was making sure the shots weren't shaky from not holding the camera still. I did my best, but these little flips are touchy! Also uploading the video after editing in Adobe Premiere was a little bit like solving a puzzle but i was able to get it to work after a while. What finally made it work was exporting as an MP4 of course, but in the process of exporting i had all the different parts on the timeline selected when it finally worked. Before i did that, i could not get it to export properly. Not sure if this was just a quirk with how it displays in blogger or if in fact all of the parts had to be selected, but that's how it worked out.
Overall though, I enjoyed working with video and I am definitely inspired to get a flip and perhaps delve into the world of film and video.
