Self-produced Content - Fun!!!

I created a video - which was shot at the butterfly pavilion in Colorado by my 6-year old son and myself using a Zip. I downloaded the zip files to iMovie for the Mac and then to YouTube: http://youtu.be/a80NlTVqZ64 (I tried to add audio but it is taking a while to have that published).



This video is part of a presentation on structural color in butterflies that I created using Prezi. I found the prezi very intuitive. I was sometimes frustrated by the limited tools (there are far fewer tools than in powerpoint - there is not even a tool to draw a straight line!). But in the end I am happy with the product. I think I will try it again using a different topic and learn from the lessons learned: first plan out where the presentation is going, then fill out the content...much like the lady suggested in the introductory video, which I watched at least 5 times and still did not learn from apparently

This was fun!

Some advice from fellow Tech Tools Students: Consider file size!!
I must say it didn't run smoothly on my notebook computer over wireless G, but ran fine on my desktop with wired connection. I don't know if it is the image sizes or my small processor. I suspect the processor. My desktop is a gaming rig I built about a year ago, and if anything runs slow on that I'll be surprised.
