GearHeads - South DocuDrama

This is one of our two semester long projects in this class. In this project we made a movie to show at a presentation on December 9th. We worked in the same groups as we did for the Vocab Video. Our video was modeled after the Discovery Channel show "Sons of Guns" which is about fixing and building guns. Our show is an explanation on fixing different motors, from a small outboard to a truck motor. Nothing really went poorly for us. Nothing was broken, no boats were swamped or flipped and every motor ended up better after we had worked on it than before. Here is our trailer and our full length movie imbedded.

Comparison & Contrast (vocab video)

This is the vocab video I made in a group with Tucker, Kevin, Jeremy and Calvin. We were assigned to define a list of words using video as examples of the words definition. We downloaded YouTube videos and used clips from them to compile our own movies. We each defined two words then compiled them all at the end. I did not have many problems with making the movie. The only thing that was a problem was how time consuming it was finding and downloading the videos before they could be used. Due to the time restraints ours isn't as good as the original we watched as an example. Ours isn't as fast paced with 20 second clips instead of the 5 second ones in the original. It would have taken forever to download enough clips to make a video with a bunch of 5 second segments. Here is the video imbedded.
