One-Minute Videos a Success

Earlier this week, the students had to produce one-minute videos using the various skills they have mastered so far. My colleague, Paul Kube, has done a great job in getting the students up to speed on how to use various image and video processing tools as well as how to put content together to create a coherent presentation. In preparation for "the big day" on Friday of next week when they make their final presentations, Paul asked them to produce one-minute videos, having only the past weekend to plan and one afternoon to actually do the composition and editing. I was very impressed with the creativity of the videos, especially those that clearly made use of some advanced techniques they learned. For example, take a look at this video by students Jikyu Choi, Matt Rilla, and Sid Vijay. More impressive was that they were able to get something off the ground so quickly. Paul predicts the final projects will be "great", and I couldn't agree more!
