I'll never know what I'm going to get. With networking and exploring with resources available, it is up to you whether you are up to it. So, keep calm and continue exploring. I've moved on. My free trial with Explee (a freemium online service) has ended a few days ago and I'm itching to make more videos for THE HIVE.
It is a huge learning curve for me to take on a professional software, Final Cut Pro. And I am loving it. My video-making exposure with Adobe Première many years ago, gave me the experience and understanding on how to execute a video-making project. The production of the the video like getting the photos, clips and audio are very easy. The editing is the ultimate killer (I nearly died of heart attack - just joking). Let's not forget the video file type (.mov, .wmv etc), file compatibility, file size and corrupted file issues. These problems that I've faced for the last 2 days gave me multiple panic attacks and anxiety. However, it all went away when the final products were completed. Woohoo! Back to my video-making.... From Première to Windows Movie Maker; Explee to iMovie on my iPad and finally to Final Cut Pro. Phew... I've come a long way AND.... don't get your hopes too high, I am not a pro video maker (yet). Maybe I'll go for a course in the future. Nonetheless, it is fun to put together a video and a little stressful too (a little stress doesn't hurt. It keeps you on your toes). According to Atiqah, (our video-making guru in the Senior Library) a 1-min worth of video is equivalent to a few days to making. I have to profusely agree with her. I must thank Stephen Coughlan, the Film Studies tutor who guided me with the Final Cut software. I had a super duper crash course with him and am really grateful (Sorry Steve, a car and a house is beyond my budget! LOL!!!). He was very helpful and assisted me several times, eventhough I know that he is very busy with his assignment markings. For the last 2 days, I've managed to produce 3 short clips for the Year 9. Sadly, one of the files got corrupted and I have to remake it again. So, below are the videos I've uploaded onto our Vimeo account. It is a little raw and I am still learning... Tools, apps, software and materials used: 1) iPad mount stage from Apple Store (3/5 stars - heavy & hard to twist to certain angle) 2) iMovie on iPad (3/5 stars - functions are quite limited) 3) Explee.com (3/5 stars - rating dropped due to expired trial services) 4) iPad camera function (4/5 - stunning photo & video quality) 5) Final Cut Pro (4/5 - I've not fully explored it yet but am very happy to get to use it) Overall rating: 3/5 STARS Not a bad rating for video-making... People to thank - Stephen Coughlan and several Sixth Form students who willingly allowed me to take photo of their notes. You know who you are, girls. And Hui Ching for covering me that last half hour on Tuesday. Xiexie ni!!

Paper beads are inexpensive, easy-to-make and attractive to look at. You could use them in many types of projects such as jewellery making, curtain beading etc. Turn those colourful pages from old magazine or unused wrapping paper into beautiful piece of art.
This week, I was putting together an instruction sheet on THE HIVE "HOW TO..." series. Below is a video on "HOW TO MAKE PAPER BEADS". |
