Last class we were shown how to take clips from YouTube, edit them, and then splice them together in Windows Movie Maker to create our own conglomeration of clips. I had decided to skip this initially due to difficulties with finding Windows Movie Maker, however I did return to the project simply out of curiosity.
I ended up taking several clips from The Big Bang Theory, a CBS sitcom, and splicing them together to create a tribute to Sheldon, one of the main characters. I enjoyed editing the clips and developing my collection, however I experienced difficulty when I tried to upload them to YouTube. My initial difficulty arose in the fact that my video was 16 minutes and 47 seconds long and I didn't realize that YouTube has a 15 minute time limit. I then had to return to my editing process and cut my clips back further to make sure my video was under the time limit. This was slightly frustrating because if I had known about the time limit I would have planned for it when I created my collection.
I have since re-visited my video and I have uploaded it to my YouTube account. I hope you enjoy my Tribute to Sheldon.
I then continued to work with the video and edited out a clip on the Best Number Ever to use in my math class.
I have also used my new YouTube movie snatching expertise to capture and share a Jack-in-the-Box commercial to use in math class when we talked about ratios and why order was important. The students really enjoyed it and it was fun to add a little humor to math class.
