Make a Movie Trailer with iMovie

Just for fun, consider making a movie from snippets of videos you have captured on your iPhone. You might remember that the iMovie app is included on your Apple devices - both mobile and computer. 

Telling a story with video clips can be daunting. Or not! You will impress your family and friends when you show them your movie trailer. iMovie has many recipes to guide you through this production. Select any of the trailer options to see a preview, see the cast member suggestions and hear the music soundtrack.  The finished product will be under 90 seconds long! Open one with the Create button for a detailed view of the Outline, Storyboard and Shot List. Edit the Outline text fields then see those changed reflected in the Storyboard. The Shot List shows how many Action, Group Medium, Wide and Two Shot clips needed and their length. 

Look at your Photos > Videos to see if you have content already recorded. Make a cup of tea and get comfortable. Play with the options presented. Discover and make edits. Then consider shooting new video and trailer to share with friends.

I hope you have time to connect during our Zoom adventures. You do not have to create a Zoom account to join our meeting just use the URL and you will be prompted to download the app (on your computer, iPad or iPhone). If you are an experienced Zoomer, then use the same account and app. 

Watch for new email a few days before our online meeting with details and the URL for our get-together. Alpine County Library staff will create our Zoom meetings with login credentials so our meeting is … just us, no outsiders. Also, our meetings will not be recorded for offline viewing. 

By using Zoom we can share the screen of our iPhone or iPad - to remote participants - as if we are in the same room. This is amazing technology. In addition to sharing our screens, Zoom includes text chat as well as video and audio conferencing. 

Sandbox open Oct 19th and Nov 16th

Yes it is late in the year but Angie has given us dates to get together, Saturdays, 9 to 11 am on October 19th and November 16th - weather permitting.
