blog 4. the Vlog (home stretch!)

Yes, we have arrived at the most dreaded part of this project: the Vlog. I have never enjoyed being on camera, and this was no exception. I apologize in advance if I seem awkward for being awkward. 

Anyway, I've done most of my editing up until this point on iMovie, but for the sake of not having to deal with moving large files, I just recorded and edited everything on my school laptop (you'll have to excuse the quality). With the publication of this video on the interwebs, I suppose I am now officially a YouTuber. I can even feel the warped sense of egotism setting in already. Don't worry, I promise I'll do my best to remain grounded and equal to all of you inferior mortals.

In any case, this vlog didn't turn out exactly as I planned. It seems that Movie Maker is a really low-quality video-editing platform (who?? knew???). I had originally wanted to put in clips I'd accumulated over the last few weeks of me in the actual editing process, but Movie Maker somehow managed to corrupt / ruin all of them. And I, as an inexperienced video-editor, did not save any copies. Great job, I'm just sO proud of myself.  Oh, well. You live and you learn.

I suppose that's enough stalling for now. Behold, Hannah's Genius Project Vlog (2018):


There's one more blog after this, in which I will be displaying my final progress and results. See you next week!

  1. Great vlog! I thought adding your editing ability was a nice touch to show your progression. You clearly worked hard on your project and seem knowledgeable about everything. I can't wait to see how far you get.

  2. I wish I knew how to video edit when I was making my Vlog. I also used movie maker but couldn't figure out how to do any special effects. Keep up the good work.
