My First Video!

I’ve been working pretty hard these last couple of weeks putting together this website for a client who is in Florida. The site is about 100 pages. It took me rougly two weeks to get it done.

So, tonight, or should I say this morning… I decided to take a much needed break… I was browsing around the net to find out how I can add some 80s music to my myspace page… I found a really cool player that I could just add music too and upload to the myspace… I wanted to post the player in the myspace blog, but realized I couldn’t do it. So I came to blogger and realized I couldn’t do it there because it was only for myspace…

Then I saw that you can post videos in blogger. Andy is pretty much the “video” guru around here. So, I wanted to see how easy or hard it was and what better video to make then a video that includes “music”… The music, of course, that I grew up with and I love… the 80s!

Then I thought, well, I don’t think I have a program on my computer right now that can do it… I looked around the home office and saw that I could load one program or another on the computer but then I wanted to see if they had anything free I can download quickly.

I found out that Windows XP includes a free video program called “Movie Maker” so I decided to take a stab at it… I only did about 5 songs and added some video effects and transitions.

It took me about 3 hours and about 25 minutes to encode the video, but here it is, My First Video…
