Dance highlights

For this assignment, I put together highlights of me dancing! I wanted to complete this assignment because I was thinking of doing some type of dance video for my final project and wanted to get a feel of what it would be like to edit it.

To complete this, I found many videos of me dancing in my camera roll. Then I went to iMovie and split them into small clips. I wanted to capture the parts of the dancing that I liked the most. I then added music on top of it. I love how well the music goes with the dancing! I am glad it worked out that way.

For this assignment, I used the apple software iMovie to create this video. I imported videos from my camera roll and was able to begin constructing my video. 

I did not have a hard time with this project at all as this software was very easy to use. I inserted a title page as well as transitions in between my videos to smooth the videos out. 

I am actually pleased with this video as I had always wanted to make a collage of all my favorite dances. I now had an excuse (and the time) to do so. I am so relieved this project did not frustrate or stress me out. 

Once I was done editing the video, I then uploaded it to my youtube channel.

Enjoy me doing what I love! Some of my most fondest memories I hold dear to my heart.

Summer 2017 soccer highlights

For this 4 star assignment I pulled some old clips out of my camera roll and edited it to look like a highlight tape. Before even watching it, I would like to tell people that this is not the best highlights as I did not have the best videos to show off my full potential skills. I wish I had better videos as this would be really cool to actually show off. This was a cool assignment though as I have not seen these highlights for some time now. It was fun and good memories to reminisce as I created this assignment. I hope you like the video and song provided!

UMW Tennis Highlights

For this assignment I was asked to create a highlight tape of a sport I play. This was a really cool assignment because not only did it allow myself to showcase me playing the sport but it also let me show how my teammates play to. I loved being able to play around in imovie and mess around with various techniques. I found it to be a little challenging at times trying to get the sound of the music and the video to match up but I think I was able to make it work. Take a look!

Sport Highlights – SBD

Hey guys, thanks for tuning in for another one of my posts today. 4 more stars down after this one, 2 to go!

I was initially on the fence about doing this video assignment, but I chose to go for it because it mentioned ‘practices’ being acceptable footage. In my sport, which is powerlifting, there aren’t any textbook definition ‘practices’. Although if you really look at it from our perspective, our workouts are our practices. This is because when we execute our motions in the main lifts, we’re practicing form- and thus practicing execution for when we get to competitions.

Form is something that is incredibly important in this sport, because when in competition, we are working under maximum loads – and pushing our muscular-skeletal structures to what is hopefully new personal records (and maybe even state, national, or global records).

As a ‘highlight’ the first video shown in my post is a 3-part buildup to my most recent personal record. I deadlifted 530lbs without a belt, which was my deadlift record with a belt a few months ago.

Luckily, I had absolutely no shortage of footage to choose from of me doing my sport. I record myself so that I can watch my form and make corrections between workouts. Posting it to Instagram keeps my phone from running out of space. Using this video-review strategy, I’ve made a lot of progress in the last couple of months, but I end up gaining a few more followers a week as my numbers steadily creep up to more impressive levels.

Are you interested in powerlifting? Leave a comment or shoot me a follow on the gram, if you’re looking to get started I can help with that, too! Thanks for reading.

Sport Highlights

Compile clips of you participating in your sport. They can be from practice or in-game. Make sure that your clips show you doing well/ making good plays. Show yourself off a little. Doesn’t matter how you compile the videos, just make the whole thing a few minutes long. Add some cool music or sounds to make it even more interesting!
