Al discovers video
Jo and I have been taking care of our grand niece, Abagail, for the last couple of days. It seemed like the perfect time to discover video production on a shoe string budget. Since my old digital camera has video capabilities, I set tu the tripod and shot some movies. Now it was time to edit the videos, mix in some audio tracks and publish the videos. I found a free video editor, VideoPad, at www.nchsoftware.com
The next hurdle was to do something with a sound track. It is necessary to use public domain software to prevent problems when posting the video on Facebook or Youtube. I decided to use a theme for some background music, with kid friendly music and appropriate song titles.
The videos are at aylard.ca/content/video-gallery
In the past I never saw a good reason to shoot video, but I enjoyed putting this quick clips together. The clips are not meant to have a high production value, but are intended as updates to Abby's parents and grandparents (and as a keepsake so we can remember this stage of Abby's life).
