Homework for this week.

I would like you to practice editing video. It really doesn't matter which video editing application you use, they all pretty much do the sample thing. At this point I just want you to practice. There is no theme or guidelines you need to follow. Download my video footage or use your own. Make a practice video with video, sound, and pictures. Export the video and upload to your vimeo site or you own site.

I have 2 video footage you can use. The video has been resized to 320x240 so it may seem small in your video editing application. Thats OK I just want you to practice.

1. Mystery Video footage - B&W video footage cool to go with last weeks mystery sounds.
2. Andy Warhol footage. This is the video that is used in the Premiere training above.
