Preparing for China

So one of my friends Brittany is going away to Iowa for med school and so a couple friends got together for a last hurrah. We had a lot of fun walking around town, going into stores and what not. When all the stores were closed though we had some real fun in the apartment trying on ridiculously high heels!

Why am I telling you this? Because I decided I was going to make a video for everyone to watch once a week while I'm in China! Pictures are great but there's something missing that a movie seems to fill. However, I want my movies to be very entertaining and therefore trimmed, edited, and all that jazz which I've never done before. So we took a video of my friend Allison strutting her stuff in some super high heels and I started playing with it! It really just looks like I added music but I guess that's how good videos are supposed to look - like you didn't do much to it. Anyway here's my first video edit!! :D

I have a lot to learn I know. The beginning is on time but the rest doesn't match the beat. I'll have to play with it more and learn all the tricks to really get it great. For the record, this is my new camera I'm using to film and I used Windows Movie Maker to do all the editing. Eventually, I want to be able to mix videos together and really make it "professional." That way I can film for a long period of time and then just cut to good parts and cut out me moving the camera and what not. Another thing I want to do is cut out voices or have music covering it but then have voices come back and loud enough for the viewer to understand... I'll probably need to learn how to add subtitles as well, I mean, it will be China. God, I have a lot to figure out...
