Activity #2 – Video Recording

I used a Sony Digital 8 camcorder to create a short video of myself. After a couple of tries, I got my recording under two minutes. I then used MS Movie Maker and edited what I recorded. I added a title and a credit line to the video. I then uploaded this video onto Youtube. I found that Youtube was the easiest option for this assignment. The web address for my video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAD-tRA9ADk

Acitvity #3 – Live Recording

I did a live recording on ustream.tv. The reason I chose this site was because it was easy to post a live feed straight from my camcorder. The instructions were easy to follow and it didn’t take long to record a live video. The only way anyone can view the video is by downloading Adobe Player 9. The download was fast. I like the fact that the site gives you the option to start a live braodcast or you can start recording. The web address for my live recording is http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/380416
