I captured and edited them in a way that is easily low-tech, to prove that with limited resources it is possible to make something useful and more media-rich or user-focused. So my process is:
- have a single focus for each video, within a larger theme;
- use a Nikon Coolpix 7600 in video mode;
- capture video handheld or using tripod;
- use RAD Video tools from Bink Video to convert files from Quicktime to .avi, as I am using Windows Movie Maker - no need for extra whistles/bells in this project;
- import .avi files to Windows Movie Maker, by dragging and dropping;
- edit videos, spliced with simple transitions;
- embed user-feedback along the way;
- embed photos taken with Nikon Coolpix 7600 as appropriate;
- add extra audio recorded with Plantronics DSP500 headset and audacity [producing mp3 files] as appropriate, by dragging and dropping;
- login to YouTube [you need an account but you can create one with your google account]; and
- upload from your homepage and wait for the video to load.

This is great Richard. A good point of view for the novices out there, very easy and encouraging to follow.
A note to all DMU staff that read the blog that part of our move to eric wood building we'll be having to high-tech video editing suites set up just for staff. So in the near future we'll be able to give a little guidance for all you budding Speilbergs!
