Classwork
Project: Flash Video Gallery for North which will show North activities (sports, drama, classroom, rep rally, talent show, etc.)

Remember:

  • edit in iMovie (save local!); check your avail. hard drive space
  • thumbnails: 180 x 135 pixels, save as jpeg
  • only export the clip you want to use on the web page (don't export the whole movie!)
  • edited clips should be less than one minute!

Video Clips you need in your video gallery:

  • Fall Sports (from file: Sports-SeniorDVD.mov)
    • show only 5 seconds of each sport - show only action (players in motion)
  • 4 clips from North rep rally video
    • you need at least 4 video clips (and thumbnails) from the rep rally
    • show action shots, students cheering, musical chairs, limbo, sumo wrestling, food eating contest
  • Talent Show
  • The Crucible (note: for thumbnail, use "cast of the crucible.jpeg" in courseware folder
  • North boys basketball (from file: boys_hoops..mov)
  • North girls basketball (from file: northgirls_vsWest.s..mov)
