TORMENT!! Thy name is imovie!

AAAAAAAUUUUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so frustrated working with imovie. Well, at least the version of it in the lab is frustrating. Patrick said that imovie 9 at the library is easier, so I'm gonna try it. Timing and subtitles and transitions and blah are all giving me troubles. I haven't even begun to add sound effects yet. BAAAUUUGH! Hulk angry! Hulk want to smash! *&%$#@$%&%$#!$%$^&!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I had to rant a little. I'm better now. Not all better, but better. The scars are deep with this one. Once I figure this stuff out I know my movie will be good. Maybe if I really get the hang of it, I can burn my homemade movies to dvds and give them as presents or charge people...either way. I can see how this would be useful for a modern classroom. Kids are more apt to pay attention to digital stories. It sure beats the old sorry tapes we watched as kids. Plus they are tailor made for the classes. Convenient? Yes. Struggle to work with? Currently, yes. Will I use the end result in my classroom? If it turns out well, heck yea.

Hopefully my next blog post will have the finished movie embedded in it and a happy comment posted with it. For now, I give you this...
