Video Sensation


So I recently took a few little videos with my camera. The taking of the videos was easy, but when I downloaded them the files were huge (50 MB for a 20-second video!). It took me a week or so, but finally I got on Paul's computer and used Windows Movie Maker to "refine" the movies, adding a title and transition, and most importantly, converting them into WMV files which were a LOT smaller than the AVI files. Then I sent them out - but unfortunately, both of the computers I watched them on had the sound turned off, so I didn't realize they had sound (and pretty silly sound, if I may say)of me saying "Audrey! Hey, Audrey!" and "Video of Audrey playing with a blanket" - nothing like stating the obvious :-) Anyway, now that I know how to shrink the files, I can make more interesting videos. Plus she's becoming more vocal too so maybe I can capture her "singing along" to Old MacDonald (she can say "E-I" and we're working on "E-I-E-I-O"). Watch this space for further developments.
