Well, this could certainly revolutionize videomaking in the (somewhat distant) future. My mind is reeling – I wonder how visually – at the idea of simply thinking of the film you’d like to produce and having it produced from the raw thought-source. Now, we just need to get cracking on doing the same for audio so that our brain masterpieces can have a kickin’ score…

Fact: Iceland (with the volcanoes, belief in elves and Björk) has a Tumblr.
I can go to bed happy with the internet tonight.
I’ve recently received an invitation to Visualize.me, a service that changes the tremendously dry data of your LinkedIn profile into a splashy infographic. See my before and after transformation, as an example.
Definitely one of those songs that I like that Kate would describe as noise, but I do love it so…
Sometimes interests between work and personal life can come together to give you something truly fascinating to be a part of. Today’s serendipitous happening took the form of the training I just completed for David Forsman‘s Engineering course at Behrend.
Students in this class are being asked to work jointly with Heather Lum‘s Psychology students on a car advertisement. The cars are actually designs that have been sketched and pitched by local sixth graders and will be digitally modeled and machined by the engineers before being shot for the ad. The ads are then being uploaded to YouTube and will be shown during an end of semester race of the model cars on a basketball court-sized track!
I meet with Heather’s students tomorrow morning to offer the same training on digital storytelling, video basics and iMovie and am really looking forward to the results. It’s not often that I find myself wanting to be a student in the classes I’m training but these are both making me want to re-enroll as such a car design nerd!
It’s almost like looking at a baby photo, this: a new Media Commons editing station takes shape through the imaging process at New Kensington. Multimedia project editing just got a whole lot easier to schedule with the addition of this third computer at the campus. And the quality of projects should only go up as it is positioned conveniently by the Library Information Desk, a spot that should afford students the opportunity to not just work on video or audio but also have access to all of the Library’s academic resources.
Plus, I think you would have to agree that it is a pretty good looking editing spot:

The final installment of my MC 101 sessions for 2011 took place today at Fayette where the local Media Commons support staff – including two student workers – joined two faculty members to listen to a short version of the MC 101 presentation during common hour. While much of the presentation was not news to the attendees, there were still lots of questions and everyone was highly excited to learn about things like the One Button Studio, Mobile Media Pilot and new scheduling policies and resources that Carla and I have been working to formalize. A good session overall – and hopefully one that snags a few more faculty projects in the semester to come.
