Video Stars in the Making

 

Just a few of our stars.


Ready to be a YouTube star? We didn't think we were quite ready, but hey why not!


Decisions

The mechanics of everyday things is what got us started. We wanted to know how some things worked and share it with you. 

"How do we share it?" we asked. Until this moment, we didn't think about Tic-Toc, Instagram, or Facebook. No, we decided learning larger skills that would translate into other platforms would be better. That's why we decided on creating videos, or more specifically learning how to use YouTube.


Coursework

Our Tuesday morning group explored topics, such as what makes popcorn pop, how a microwave works, what bluetooth is all about, and how to create a video. 

After examining these presentations, we identified the parts necessary to include in our videos.  We then worked on developing our understanding of producing quality videos, including creating storyboards, writing scripts, and exploring camera setups.


Final Products

Want to know how we did? Watch these five videos. 


Danny explains the intricacies of tongs. See How tongs works (3:25). 



Kathy explains how to use a nut grinder. See A Little Nutty Today (1:49).



Ray explains how a ballpoint pen works. See How a ballpoint pen works (1:41).



Ellen explains how an egg slicer works. See How an egg slicer works (0:40).




We may not be video stars in anyone's eyes yet. We know we each have a long way to go. However, we all have to start somewhere. And, for 3 of the 4 videographers above, these films are their first attempts at reaching stardom.


Please "Like" each of them. And, add comments about them to this blog post. Thank you.

Enjoy.
