Blogging On The Bus!

On Saturday, we had an early morning bus tour of Paris and then went to Versaille. On the bus ride back, I was sitting next to Jonathon Cooper and Lexi Barrett. We decided to create a short (approx 30 seconds) iStory about our visit to Versaille.

We decided to use GarageBand to produce our iStory since it's relatively easy to put photos and audio together quickly. We then uploaded only the photos from my digital still camera and began to work.

While many of the students on the bus took a quick nap as we waited for a traffic accident to clear on our trip back to Paris and a visit to the Notre Dame Cathedral, I quickly gave Jonathon a tutorial in GarageBand and developed a basic story structure together. Eventually both Jonathon and Lexi recorded Voiceovers live as the pictures played back on Garageband. We finished the entire project in less than 30 mins., so when you view it, take that into consideration.

When we tried to upload the finished project to YouTube so that we could then embed the file into blogspot, we found out that YouTube did not accept the GarageBand media files. It wasn't until later in the trip that we were able to convert the GarageBand Project using Quicktime Pro. What you can see below is known as blogging on the bus!
