Create: Kootuitui ki Papakura

This was my first real creation project using imovie. It took me some time to get my head around how the video editor works. The features are similar to but a little different from others that I've used, eg wevideo, so discriminating what was alike and what was different was something that kept me thinking and testing, especially in the beginning. 

After that, it was quite straightforward to use. I was able to place and trim the videos, add photos, download and upload ambient music, add titles and labels.

Then I uploaded the finished video into my YouTube channel. From here I played around with the captions. The captions that YouTube gave me could not transcribe the Māori words, so I typed and placed the captions myself. I'm pretty proud of the end result.

Things I could work on next are getting better videos and photos, as well as more voices - as us four only represents a small portion of the people and groups who have a part of our work.

Thanks to Maria, for some of the imovie tips and to Jason, for the YouTube caption help.

Tellagami

Here is a little app called Tellagami that you can choose a character, upload a background and add sound for 30 seconds. It was easy to create and then share but I didn't get an embed code in the iphone app, only when I sent to my email, clicked on the link and opened on my mac where I could hit 'share' and get an embed code. Once created, it saves onto the camera roll on my phone. I learnt of this from one of the digital leaders in our cluster schools.
