Embedded Flash Video Test

22nd August 2007, 05:36 pm

This is a video I put together for a faculty update meeting to get people excited about using technology in classes, like podcasting. With some help from Todd Washburn of Weedkiller fame, I filmed 30 minutes of footage in front of chroma green fabric, added audio and video effects and cut it down to almost 2 minutes. Using a Max Headroom-esque video style made things easier – no need to worry about jumpcuts.

By the way, as a test, I’m hosting this video from my server using FlowPlayer. Our institution uses a hosted version of Blackboard which charges for disk space and bandwidth, so I am exploring ways of embedding hosted video, audio and PowerPoint resources into courses without using our host’s space and bandwidth. So far, I’m pleased with FlowPlayer, and am investigating other alternatives.
