I've been making videos in a variety of formats over the years-- via VHS (yes, direct to the big, old VHS tapes & yes, I'm that old), 8mm Sony Handcam, digital camera, and with my iPhone's camera. But I've not tried any of the video apps-- until now.
Vine
I thought I'd give Vine a try just to see what I could do in 6 seconds. 6 seconds should work and be okay, yes? Well, my 1st attempt (link via graphic below) shows a few things-- my hands shake too much, and I tried to lump too much content into that little time frame (it makes me rather dizzy to watch). I did not include any sound-- not for a 1st try.

But, like many things, this was a learning experience and a chance to think about how this could be used. What I learned? Don't try to string 6-7 things into one 6 second video using the stop/start. Maybe just make it 3 things or use a subject that doesn't require stop/start? Although my mind right now isn't coming up with any great ideas for that. Maybe I'll let our student ambassadors give it a try & see what they can do for the library with only a 6 second video?
