That kind of stuff really burns my butt. Not so much that I would be asked to do it, but that they expect me to do it and do it now. I've stopped doing that kind of thing all together because the privilege was being abused. I got really tired of one or two teachers dropping the camcorder on my desk with "I need these on DVD by tonight so I can grade these skits" messages If the teachers want to do something with video, I show them how Movie Maker or Pinnacle Studio works and how to connect the camcorder and let them have at it. They all have the privileges they need to upload anything they want to their I-Bay. If they want me to do it, then they are at the mercy of my schedule and "poor planning on their part doesn't constitute and emergency on mine">
I do like David's idea though. The White Album or Led Zepplin IV dubbed backwards.

Make some kind of cacophonous blurred composite of all six streams, and dub some clips from the Beatles White album over the audio. "Number 9. Number 9.. Number 9." It may (or may) not teach them an important life lesson. But it will be a relaxing way to end your day. ;) David From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of McKay, Curtis Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 2:45 PM To: 'Tech-Geeks Mailing List' Subject: [tech-geeks] video editting rant Came back from lunch today to find a video camera on my desk with a note saying, "here's the video we recorded to be played next week. Please edit and put on the server." How am I suppose to know what to edit?? There's 6 clips filmed today on this camera. I have no idea what goes where. Arggg.
