New Highlights Video!

     e9 has been a very fun experience for me, and this time we got to make a highlights video using Final Cut Pro! I might need to use this for my gaming channel...

      There were many different tools that I had to use in FCPX, and shortcuts helped exponentially. For example, using the "Command-B" shortcut to help cut audio and video. I used it to cut my audio track into 2 separate tracks, and turn down the volume while The Crazy Russian Hacker was speaking. It also helped me cut the sections of my video that I didn't need. I had some extra clip in the beginning of my video, but the blade tool helped me to make it go away. I also used the "Shift-Z" command to help bring everything on the timeline into focus. It really helped if I needed to get somewhere fast.

       This particular hobby is important to me because science is one of my favorite subjects in school, and learning that there are cool science tricks that I can do at home is one of the coolest things ever! I highly doubt that I'll ever put corn starch in my mouth and make myself into a human flamethrower.

My Dream House

       The house I made isn't all that impressive. It has one story, and a one-car garage. But what I think I did well was making the shape of the house. It's one of those houses that has the front patio sticking out from the rest of the house. It reminds me of a one-story version of my own house!

       Another thing I think I did well was the one little rose line, and small pond. I think it makes the house look a little bit bigger than it is Looking at my peers' projects, I know I could have added more flowers, a tree, or some shrubbery. But I think it makes it look good!

       Finally, I think it impacts the ecomm program by letting us get a feel for graphic design before we actually switch classes. And it lets us use a "camera" before we move to videography. And that helps out the program a lot.
