The game of Sports changed forever

 

This video I had a little more fun playing around with. This was done for the DS106 video assignment, “Sports Mashup“. This process was quite similar to my Tough Principals in film video but done a little differently.

For this video I think the hardest part was finding not so much awesome moments in sports, but moments that impacted the individual themselves as well.

After downloading and adding my videos to Windows Movie Maker again, I decide to again add some audio. However this time I wanted to add text in the video as well and to have the added audio playing at specific times while the video was playing. The addition of text was pretty simple just basically clicking on the text tool then typing what you want to show in the clip. The altering part is choosing the way text will display and play in its video segment and for the length of time it will play and the speed of the video.

For the audio I was able add the full song I wanted then in Movie Maker I was able to trim the audio and shift it to the area of video I wanted whether it was text or actual video clip. The movability in of shifting the audio in Movie Maker is not an exact science so it can be a bit tedious. Along with adjusting the volumes, of the audio and videos, I was also able to add a “fade out” or “fade in” to the segments of audio I had trimmed for a particular point in the video. Endless Possibilities.

Sports Mashup

Submit a video mashup of what you think are some of the greatest sports plays ever. What is the story it tells? This needs to be more than just a montage of clips, find a way to make it present a theme, an arc of ambition, a message about the moments.
