Can you make a beat or write music to this?
Shot this Saturday at a car wash in Staunton, Virginia. Had no idea what to do with it but thought about Stomp (they are in town this week) and making some kind of beat to this. Best sound comes at :35 seconds into the video.
Music is everywhere.

Jan. 7 --Work to do today
1. I still have the flu, so bear with me.
2. If you need a camera for your project, Mr. Madaio will be checking them out at the end of the day (he is going on a field trip to the Newseum).
3. You are still responsible for your video even though I am ill. This was assigned on December 4, so you have known about it.
4. Mr. Bentz will be here on Monday to hook all of our computers up to a LAN system. Not sure what that entails for editing, but we will try to work around it.
5. I am rethinking the deadline for the second video, but don't for a minute think that you do not have to do it.
6. I will be doing the gradebook as soon as I feel better and that means your cell phone or study habits videos, too. No more tweaking.
7. COMMENT ON ALL POSTS DOWN TO DANIEL SHIFERAW. TURN INTO SUB TODAY. WON'T ACCEPT LATER.
PLEASE SOMEONE SHOOT THE BASKETBALL GAME TODAY.

I had trouble with the sound. Stop it and wait and then start playing again.
How do you feel after a piece like this? Does it give you the sense of "place" and that we have met someone the we would like? That is part of what makes a good video. It is like finding a new friend. I don't mean that to sound stupid . . . I think there is a lot of truth in that.

Daniel Shiferaw (JFK '05) has a crazy video success story
Click here for: Former student's blog that got him in the Redskins Press Box (for real)
This little video (scroll down in his blog, The Swinging Gate) got a lot of hits and brought attention to his blog which got him hired by a company (sbnation) that got him press passes and a gig reporting on the Redskins in addition to other sports.
He visited me at school yesterday and is as surprised by this as anyone. He is a computer software engineer and currently going to grad school at Hopkins. He was a slacker television student in the sense that he worked on his academic classes and watched the hilarity of other's work.He remembers only making one video his senior year. He remembered enough about IMovie to make the above spoof. This tells me that even those of you who don't look busy have a great deal of latent potential. This makes my little teacher heart flutter a little bit faster with happiness. But I digress. Now Daniel is figuring out how to do audio and needs to learn Final Cut, etc.
What kind of blog would you write? Could you back it up with videos? Could you tweet six to ten times a day bringing attention and retweets (where others repost your twitter content)? Daniel says people like attitude, the use of tone that feels like a personal conversation, and above all, funny, funny, funny. His love of sports detail, his experience with never backing a winning team (he missed the two good football years here at Kennedy) , and timing all contribute to this crazy ride for him. He is going to pursue sports reporting seriously and is looking for a radio or television gig to supplement all of this.
Fun, right? Follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/dshif.

Jan. 4 Warm-up -- What are the issues with this site and the video?
Click here for future of food?
Write up a short paragraph of your analysis of this issue as presented in the video on the left side of the screen. Analysis. Not a re-cap of what she said. What are the implications of this movement (if it is that) and what about the way the message is reaching others?

This is the closest I could get to a shell in my photo collection (blog should be illustrated with something that at least resembles subject matter). So here is the full disclosure. This is stuff my friends collect near their cabin in Montana . . . rattlesnake tails, plant junk, etc. They keep this in the trophy bowl.
