As a group project, we were to compose a short story, and then shoot it, edit it and finish it, all working together. My group was me plus Gilbert and Michael. Gilbert had the initial idea, but we worked together to refine it, to each add our own personal touches and to make it more workable in our short time frame. We had only one class period to work it all out, then one 2-hour period to use the camera equipment. We raced through the shooting process, and still we were the last ones finished that night. We discovered that some of us had difficulty remembering lines in front of the camera, so we had to improvise a bit when we got into the editing process. We had fun pulling it together and adding crazy touches after the scenes were cut together.

Keynote Animated Type Video
Well, I was able to get my music in sync with the picture of my type animation video, which I created in Apple's powerpoint-type software, Keynote. I wasn't able to work with the sound and picture together in Garage Band, like I originally intended, and so I couldn't bring down the sound level of the background Tuba as I would have liked to. The piano is an original "composition" that I recorded using the USB keyboard. I tried to keep a sense of humor in the music to match the words of the passage.
Here is that video.
Group Project Movie
We divided into small groups of three or four and each group had one class time in which to create a short video. Our topic was HOPE. We included a few inside jokes. One of the members of our team, Gilbert Karp, has a reputation for creating long videos for other class projects he has worked on. So the instructor, Tony, warned him not to try to make an 'epic' this time. We also made a pun with his name.
Here is the movie:
