The concept and the content beat the execution in this kind of contest I've seen. Good thing is that you can submit more than one video as well *hint*. <br /><br />$500 is not much but look what I did with $20.09 right? Heh.. that was the main concept of my campaign anyway. Just to show people that $20 is not a small amount of money, especially in this economy. Good luck! I am actually thinking about making a video for the contest as well, although I am not eligible to win. But it sounds like a fun lil project.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249017039123839883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-186482383032499202009-08-28T22:58:03.963-04:002009-08-28T22:58:03.963-04:00Not just adding effects, but "Windows Movie M...Not just adding effects, but "Windows Movie Maker" will let you do the basics like cut off stuff and "splice" clips together.<br /><br />Just make sure to run it on the fastests computer available to you.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-65093714469902349612009-08-28T21:20:01.259-04:002009-08-28T21:20:01.259-04:00I used to make super 8mm films in college.

The kids in our high school all made videos that way last year for their senior projects. You can do a lot more than you may think with one... and the programs like the one suggested above are great for adding effects.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-2713884187806260112009-08-28T11:33:01.259-04:002009-08-28T11:33:01.259-04:00Also, software wise, you should be all set.

If it is not already on your computer, you should be able to download it for free from Microsoft.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-75561245437513082782009-08-28T11:27:36.308-04:002009-08-28T11:27:36.308-04:00If you have digital cameras around the house that ...If you have digital cameras around the house that do stills, I'm surprised that they don't also do movies at the same time.<br /><br />Of three digital cameras I've gotten over the years, all of them do movies. Two of them do movies with sound. Usually there is a tiny red icon of an old-fashioned movie canera somewhere. <br /><br />But looking into it, it appears that the better digital camera don't do movies. I guess they decide to give you less when you pay more. Go figure.<br /><br />Anyway, maybe one of your buddies or relatives has a recent simple "point and shoot" digital camera you can borrow. Those should have film/movie mode.<br /><br />Pretty much all of the video clips in my blog come from a recent point-and-shoot digital camera.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
