College Search 101
At my institution, we’ve launched a new video series that contain tips and tricks to remember during the college search process. We’ve just launched 9 of these short videos on YouTube and an accompanying web site. Here’s an example of one of the videos:
The videos aren’t specific to institution and feature our VP for enrollment and marketing.
From the technical side, we shot them using our Sony HD camera outside our main administration building on our rustic bridge. The videos were edited in iMovie. I blogged last month about how great iMovie is. For now, we’re just putting these in YouTube though we will eventually upload them to Vimeo in HD.

A second Zi6 Video
I’ve been spending a bit more time with the Zi6 camera the last few days, and I think I’ve found a good combination of settings to produce really nice video.
If you shoot at regular HD settings, not HD60 (60fps), the video is still clear and nice, and it gets much less jittery on fast pans and motion. I even drove up the street here with the camera out the window, and the video is good.
Here’s a version at Vimeo, though it’s not in HD. I’ve also uploaded a high-res version, which you can get here. It’s 40mb, so you may want to right-click and save as.
