Despite what the others feel about the camera angle guy, I felt he was fairly engaging and informative. I was able to take what I learned from him to compose a multi-angle how-to video.
For an open sourced video editing program, Shotcut is quite a beast with a lot of options. I found that once I got the hang of the program, it was much easier to use. I was getting very frustrated with the program however, because whenever it was doing a "heavy" task, Shotcut would crash. I see that Germs and Lance were having similar problems.
Although I was working with fairly large files, Shotcut would be ideal for students that are capturing video on their phones and importing it to their Google Drive. It seems to be another tool that can be utilized by students when creating choice assignments.
Working on this assignment has inspired me to create a series of woodworking videos that can be shown to anyone by anyone. There has been a push for teachers to begin using "Google Classroom" in our division and I have been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out how to use it effectively. I believe that if I can produce these videos, which would be supplemented by the assignment and its rubric, students can complete their projects wherever they are, whenever they can.
