This Monday, the first after break, kicked off the second session of Monday Media Club.  We have a large group this time, so we’ll have to get good at juggling.  We will be running iStopmotion on five computers, and Garageband, iPhoto (our only photo editing program for now), and iMovie on all the rest.  We will be taking a look at Logic Express, a more powerful digital sound program, as well as drawing from Soundtrack Pro for new sounds.  We are going to do three sessions where we record live intstruments, so be ready to record!  

Youtube of the week:

Lasse Gerjtsen’s “Hyperactive”– it’s all done just with the built in mic, camera, and edits, 2006.

So here’s the first update for Monday Media on the new blog.  We only have one last meeting for this session of Monday Media– time to finish up those projects!  The last date of the session is 04.07.08.  I will be sending out sign-up sheets again for anyone who’d like to do the next six weeks– make sure you let me know if you wanted a spot but didn’t get a chance last time (email is best), or if you just really, really, really need a spot.Also, we shared some cool links to good animation sites in the media elective.  I’d like to post these for everyone to enjoy very soon, but in the meantime, check out the claymations made by Alex F. in 5th grade by searching “iguys” on youtube, or following this link:“iguys” Yay!
