Editing – Rube Goldberg #5

When Dani and I first started to edit we were nervous because we didn’t know how it would turn out. We didn’t really know where to start so, we discussed what we needed like: An intro, the fails, the sucsess, the slo mo and the credits. We started by putting that in an iMovie and then added thing along the way. My brother Kyle showed us where to get things we wanted to put in the movie and we weren’t sure where it was like if we wanted a curtain background, but didn’t know where to find it he would help. We wanted our movie to be very creative and entertaining so we added in some special things to make it unique. When we put the video in slow-motion it was kind of blurry so we chose to re film it. Personally I thought that the most annoying part of editing was the credits because we needed to make sure that they rolled at just the right speed so someone could read them, but not so slow that people get bored watching them. Once we got the basics on the iMovie I thought it was pretty easy because we could add our own special things in.

I loved editing although it got annoying at times. I really like how it turned out and I also think that is kind of cool to think about how Dani and I had footage and turned it into an amazing short filming. Even though I don’t really like to edit for some reason this really apealed to me. Maybe it was because I love the project so much?!

Rube Goldberg Ideas 1

Last week our teacher had introduced us to a project that my fellow classmates and i will be working on for the next month. The project is called Rube Goldberg, Rube Goldberg is a very complex machine made for the purpose of doing a simple task. We got to choose if we wanted to work alone work with a partner or in a small group. I decided it would be a good idea to do it with a partner because then I would have someone to work with, but it wouldn’t get it too complicated. One of my friends Dani had the same though process, so we decided to work together.  We wanted to started to come up with tasks that our machine could do that way we could know what our task was the first day we met. Dani and I had a few ideas but we needed to narrow it down to one. Once we narrowed it down to one we set up a date so we could discuss how the tasked will be completed. We decided to meet Sunday (yesterday.) We talked and tried out some ways our task could be completed. We are both happy because now that we know how the task will be completed we figure that we can add  in some other things before the task is completed which shouldn’t be too hard.
