Here's the result of my Inquiry Project: a 5 minute video sampling from my classmates blogs (including their blogs, animotos, images, and podcasts).
! I feel doubly bad about something here. I did not seek permission from the classmates whose content I sampled for this video. If you feel at all uneasy about this, please let me know. I would like to edit this video again, and I can remove your stolen content.
I didn't sample from everyone in class, as I had intended. If I didn't steal from you, I hope you don't feel left out.
there's a story here somewhere from Eric Shellhase on Vimeo.
To do:
- Must attach credits to colleagues (and their blogs) who are still willing to have their content used in my video.
- Must upload a better quality version of this movie: If there's a chance that technology will fail, technology will fail. The current version is a screen capture of the video playing on my iMac. (I'm really not satisfied with the audio and video quality.) When I can figure out how to correct the exporting problem from iMovie, a HD version will be linked here. UPDATE: The video upload worked through Vimeo.com. My girlfriend uploaded the video to her account so I could leave for school. I'll upload it from mine later.
- There's a whole lot of rationale missing here. Why did I make this video after all? That's coming.
Music: This is mine. And I do have permission for this. I used samples from my podcast, and recordings made at a night walking tour at Storm King Art Center.
I had a three-part response to the music in your background. Part 1: "I like the drive, determined heartbeat, of this pulse." Part 2: "Wait, is that coming from another tab I have open in my browser?" Part 3: "No. Cool. Interesting."
ReplyDeleteTo sum up, I felt that I was experiencing the whole of your project and, at the same time, aware of each distinct element.
If you do end up going doing "credits" - and I really mean "if" - would you consider timing how long it takes you to source and organize them? I ask because students sometimes balk at what they leave for the last step: the works cited. They think they've won the race to complete the paper or project and then realize, oh yes, one more thing left to do.
My use of "students" is akin to the royal "we". I really should write "I". I remember being that kid who fretted over the works cited page, terrified I was going to forget to add a credit and so earn myself a sweet little plagiarism one instead. In high school it finally occurred to me to save myself the anxiety and amass my works cited documentation as I wrote.
And now Jen Roberts mentioned when she spoke to us (maybe something on her blog references it as well http://whatdoyouteach.blogspot.ch/) that she uses Google Forms with her students to help them collate their citations.
