It has been a long, busy two weeks so this is a combo post as I was not able to upload last weekend due to the awesome Texas Multimedia Workshop I was at. The workshop was at the State Fair of Texas and tasked us with creating a natural sound video or audio slideshow telling a story at the fair. Got some great advice from the pros and put together a pretty good video of the fair coming to life during a rainy opening Saturday. It's also a plus that I could use the photos and video for The Shorthorn. As for the 'Horn, I'm always down for an "epic clouds" sports portrait. I also had a chance to influence design a bit more as I created the package for the Ken Burns story. Speaker shots are always the same andI'm glad I had a chance to do something different that will hopefully continue through the semester. I also put together a short test video from UTA's annual Oozeball mud volleyball tournament from my new little GoPro HD camera that I had duct taped to me as I played. I repeat, it'sonly a test. Enjoy.
