This Week's News: Video

Hello Everybody!
Chobots is hosting a new video contest! Here are the rules:

• Video makers must have the theme of 'Sports Day'
• The video has to be at least 1 minute long!
• It must include 2 Chobots at the very least!

Trust me, if there's one thing about video making, is that it's always hard. Try out the easy programs like Windows Movie Maker (try Windows Live Movie Maker for better results). Nathan has given us some excellent tips on the main blog, so here they are (of course in my own words).

• Think of a good storyline, if you're going to make a video, there's got to be some sort of plot.
• Record the movie! If you don't have any recording software, here's some to name a few. (I've also put in some of my opinions). Use CamStudio or HyperCam on Windows. They're both free. Or if you're a Mac user like myself, use QuickTime Player's Screen Recorder which is automatically installed on your Mac. Or use Camtasia.
• After recording everything, edit using any video editors like Windows Movie Maker, Windows Live Movie Maker, iMovie (best results for Macs) and etc.
• After you have edited the movie, save and upload to a video website like Vimeo, but best recommended of Youtube. Get permission from your parents first! Afterwards, send in your video in the comments on the main blog at blog.chobots.net.

The contest is until the 23rd of November. The winners will get awesome prizes as usual!
Good luck video directors!
