In My video the worst part was narrating it is easy to find videos and fun to edit them, Now I want to learn a little bit more about editing .

Monserrat Jimenez Lopez - 6 years ago

I had fun doing my video but still there are things that I don't understand but I can learn :)

anthony - 3 years ago

I had fun doing my video but still there are things that I don't understand but I can learn

Manuel Vasquez - 1 year ago

I had some coming up with some ideas, for this project i wanted to make it kinda like one of those serious commerials that brings up important topics in our lifes, was it the best? jusr a little but at leats i had an i dea of what i wanted

Yuliana - 1 year ago

I really liked doing it but I was struggling when it came to being creative.

Dylan - 6 years ago

I wasn't doing my best with this topic. I hate talking about myself when it's not very interesting. The worst part in the audio because I couldn't find a good way to record my guitar so I just had to run with it. In the next project I will actually put more thought into what I'm making. All in all, I give myself a 6/10.

keylaan - 6 years ago

Looking at my work I am going back through photos and reliving memories to complete the video. I learned that it is better to space out the work with video making to prevent becoming overwhelmed or having too rush to finish a project. Looking ahead I would like to try different website to make videos and explore different options.

Travis Vazquez - 6 years ago

The challenging part for me is i didn't know what to say and it took me a while to find a topic to go into its orgin story. Next time I do this project i'm probably going to do more editing and make a script.

Danny Alvarez - 6 years ago

I wish I did better on my video.
my goal was to make a decent video.
I thought the recording was gonna be easy but when I record I forgot what to do.

Lauren - 6 years ago

My video didn't go very well. I didn't know what to do for it, so it ended up being terrible. The biggest struggle was uploading the files. It took hours just to upload one. We spent a couple days trying to save them to a computer so that it would be easier. The biggest take-away from my video is that I could have just recorded the footage on my computer. It would have been a lot easier.

Bella - 6 years ago

Starting off with my origin story brainstorm I had a completely different theme and motif for my video but over time and as I worked more on the pre-production and a little bit of production it evolved into what it is now. If I am being completely honest then I had no clue where it was going at one point but, everything worked out in the end. A few take-aways I got from this was to triple check your work and don´t stress during pre-production

Reylina Curtis - 6 years ago

I purely enjoyed this project! I got to find old videos that warmed my heart or that I didn't even know existed. It let me reflect on how far I have came because you know you can get into your own head and be like " ah I suck" lol. For next time, I am definently gonna play around more with text and work on the music so it sounds smoother because I think my cuts were a little coppy.

Jazmine Solorzano - 6 years ago

The most challenging part was having to come up with video ideas for my Origin story.While making my video, I was getting overwhelmed from trying to put stuff together since I haven't done much editing before . Overall, I do believe I can do better in future projects.

Haley - 6 years ago

The hardest part of this project for me was finding a starting point. But, once I got started, I flew through the process of making the video. I know I could do better, but I've never enjoyed talking about myself. Overall, I think I did ok, but in the future, I hope to do better.

Miguel Beaven - 6 years ago

The production was hard I didn't really get it at the beggining but I kind of know what I was doing at the end.And It was kind of hard coming up with ideas of the origin story.And the editing was kind of hard to with the colors and the writing.

sydney - 6 years ago

While making my project I liked the many pieces I was able to include in my video, I had a lot of fun looking for paintings to fit what I was talking about. I wish my computer had better audio so the audio on the video would be clearer. plan to get more familiar with Wii videos so I can make higher-quality videos throughout the year.

Shaker Amin - 6 years ago

It is easy to make the graphics and audio part of the video but the script was the hardest thing for me when I was making this video because I wanted it to sound amusing and not boring. I wish I started the video earlier because there was parts of the videos that I could drastically improve if I had more time.I plan to make another video similar to this with a better script audio and graphics.

Juan Martinez - 6 years ago

I didn't do it😐

Hannah Amundsen - 6 years ago

A big challenge in my video was having to scroll through lots of pictures to find the ones I needed. Although it took a lot of time I actually enjoyed looking at all the pictures. Looking forward I want to do better at the script and my voice-over.

Justin - 6 years ago

I thought that the origin story project was fun and interesting. The brainstorming part was my favorite because it really helped me. The amount of questions really let me be more creative. I plan to further improve the videos that I make for this class because I felt that the script and the format of the video was not great.

Brendon - 6 years ago

I learned that all my videos need to have a theme in them.

Jason Y - 6 years ago

In my opinion the biggest challenge in my video was me thinking that the video idea and execution was bad. Although it took abit of time looking for the materials needed, I still thought that the idea and concept was a bad and horrible idea everyone would find weird and stupid. But on a positive side I think I can do a better job if I didn't doubt and judge myself in my work.

Riley - 6 years ago

Looking at my work, I find it to be not that good because I had to rush it and the final product didn't look that good. Next Project I want to produce something better than what I put out with this project.

Aleena - 6 years ago

I feel like I could of done better. It was my first time making a video and I realized it takes a lot of work to make sure everything is on point. Its just a matter of learning. It was hard for me at first because I don't like to talk in depth about myself so I had to change the theme of the video last minute.

Angie Telelyuev - 6 years ago

This project wasn't as hard as I envisioned it would be. I think the hardest part was putting all the planning into the pre-production and brainstorming of the project. Once I got started on the video itself, ideas just came naturally and everything sort of fit together. My goal by the end of this semester is to be able to get more experience in the planning stages of production.

Emma - 6 years ago

Overall I enjoyed creating the video because it was a good learning experience. In the future I hope to improve my video editing skills.

isai - 6 years ago

it was okay didn't really got stuck a lot

Robert Velazquez - 6 years ago

I liked using Wevideo again because I haven´t used it in a while. It was difficult learning how the website operates but overall it was a fun experience. Next time I do this project I would want to add better edits.

Johnny - 6 years ago

My video went pretty well but my biggest challenge was figuring out the script for me to read to use my voice in the background, and how to go 'under the surface" with my main idea like in the iceberg assignments to explain the purpose behind my video

Teo - 5 years ago

Script's are hard to figure out especially when trying to dig deep into the topic you picked

Logan - 6 years ago

So the project was good it was hard to edit all the stuff and put the clips in. I had to speak up over the sound to narrate.

Jason (Red) Bat Ireedui - 6 years ago

i had some fun working on it. next time, i would also work on animation if i had time and the new computer

Katelyn - 6 years ago

I had a lot of fun making my origin story video, but I wish that I had pictures for specific moment I had planned and couldn't do.

Jessica - 6 years ago

In the beginning of the project I got a little bit stuck on how I am supposed to work in a theme and motif in my video, but in the end I got some help and then had more understanding. It was a fun project to work on and I liked working in WeVideo again.

Sienna - 6 years ago

I had a good time making the video, and looking through my memories and putting pictures in my video. For my future videos I think I should put more music and visuals to make the video more interesting.

mariam - 6 years ago

Looking at my work, I think overall it wasn't bad, but I could do better next time.

Isabella - 6 years ago

In the beginning it seemed like I couldn't come up with an idea for the video, but I got better at focusing my ideas towards one thing. Wevideo was pretty easy to navigate because I already had experience in it. for my own project I was proud of my editing. In general, I had a great time making the video.

Payton Penkal - 6 years ago

Looking back, I enjoyed making the film. However, the hardest part for me was brainstorming because it took a while for me to come up with ideas I felt were good enough. In the end, I was happy with the finished product, I just hope that next time I do even better.

Ava - 6 years ago

Overall I enjoyed making the WeVideo and I thought it was a lot of fun. I think that putting effort into the brainstorming really helped with putting the video together. I proud of the way that my video turned out. In the future I want to continue to improve and make my videos better.

Lexi - 6 years ago

Overall I enjoyed making the origin video. My goal was to make a good/decent video. I feel if I were to have put more effort into pre-production I would have done better. I also struggled with finding copyright free images on the internet. Overall I feel like I did okay for it only being my first video.

Valerie Acosta - 6 years ago

Making my orgin story was joyful because through out this flim eventually becomes relized or noticed . need to be able in creative visions and stay within the budget. There are many pathways to becoming to make a flim into a story to came to life .

Morgan - 6 years ago

This was my first time using WeVideo and it was really fun. The part of my video that I struggled with the most was the narration. It wasn't the editing part the was tough, it was actually recording myself talk. I would practice it perfectly, hit the record button then jumble up all my words. I also don't like the way my voice sound so that didn't help either. In the future I would like to use my pre-production ideas more.

David Butayev - 6 years ago

What I really enjoyed about the project was getting to draw and edit the video. Something I struggle with is recording myself especially since I am always thinking this doesn't look good, and I always nit pick at my work.

Christopher Walker - 6 years ago

The whole project was fun, i know the things i need to work on in my next video now.

Biancka Rivera - 6 years ago

Overall it was fun to make and the only problem I had was finding good music.

melissa - 6 years ago

Overall it was very fun making the origin story because i had alot of fun with it and I had a great time and having fun.

Isaiah P - 6 years ago

it was very fun at the end, but difficult to edit.

Emmanuel Nosov - 6 years ago

I think that i did really good in my video, it was fun and easy

Brendon Harris-Williams - 6 years ago

I liked editing together the video projects and adding the voice over on top. I am proud of the projects that I was able to complete. I think that I would like to explore the tools of wevideo some more. I plan to work on my editing skills to improve the quality of my videos.

Braden - 6 years ago

My experience with creating my own Origin Story video project from Pre-Production wasn't very difficult. Once you already have your whole plan set up for the video it's just putting your idea into action. The Production and Then editing are the parts that take up the most time. Especially when your trying to make a professional looking video the editing can take longer than the reordering.

Laylonie Garcia - 5 years ago

I thought it was fun but i had a hard time finding the music and putting text for the pictures and videos.

Drake - 5 years ago

My personal experience with the project is that it was fun and very informative and I spent a good amount of time on it but enjoyed every second of it.

Drake - 5 years ago

My plan for future projects are to be much more focused and driven to complete it and to do it well.

Dustyn M - 5 years ago

This was fun to do and I think we could have done more with the video if we had more time. Overall it was a fun project. If I made a script it would have a lot easer

Roxy Medina - 5 years ago

This project was okay. I liked how we did the brainstorm in the very beginning, I think it helped a lot. Also I learned how to actually use stock footage, I've never used it before. For my next video I hope it's a little more organized and well thought out.

Jacob - 5 years ago

It was relaxing to create something from nothing but thoughts and I'm very happy that i was allowed to do this as I always have loved making seemingly random thoughts into one cohesive line of thought.

Gabriela - 5 years ago

at first it was hard but I'm getting the hang of it. and I learned that all are videos have to have a theme.

victoria - 5 years ago

my experience was good but didn't get enough time to finish.
it was very fun.

Christian - 5 years ago

"spongebob"

I think that i did really good in my video, took me 10 mins just to do the editing / narration :)

Iliya Stavitskiy - 5 years ago

My video began off with a simple intro, since I didn't know what to do or say I decided to write a script. After writing the script it became much easier and I'm happy with myself for taking that decision. After doing a voice over adding the video's were simple since I already knew what I'm talking about. I think I did okay for a first video with not much resources.

Reagan Lorentzen - 5 years ago

Pre-Production was a little bit confusing. It felt like I was preparing too much for the video, when I really just had to write down a few ideas. The actual production was easier and it was fun because I had a lot of time to think about what I actually wanted to put in the video. I spent a lot of time thinking.

Teo McCall - 5 years ago

In the making of my video a goal I had was to dive deep into who I am. It was fairly easy to get done once I knew what I would make the video about. Some struggles I had in the process was the voiceover, it was the hardest because I needed to keep redoing it and it still ended up static-like in the end. Overall I'm proud of the video and want others to see it.

Ysabella Rodriguez - 5 years ago

I started by brainstorming the video so I knew what direction I wanted to go through. Once I started filming it was really hard to put the first clip after the intro. I had no idea what I should start with or what scene to put. Once I had the first couple of clips down it was easy. I really liked the brainstorming and I would definitely do that again. One thing I would like to do next time is more complex editing.

Sam - 5 years ago

This video was fun to make but there were some parts that were hard or I didn't like. The brainstorming was helpful but the planning and scripting wasn't as helpful. I think that next time I will brainstorm and plan/ organize as I go so I know what kind of will help me with the final product. The editing and collecting and gathering footage was the fun and easy part. Next time I will spend less time on planning and more on getting started with the actual video.

toby - 5 years ago

all I really did was just think about what I did with my life

brodie N - 5 years ago

I think it was fun and it was nice expressing things about myself. Another thing is that it wasn't to hard but it wasn't really easy I think it was in between difficult and not difficult.

Dima - 5 years ago

It wasn't hard hard to do the video for me, it was harder to write the script. Editing the whole video took the longest. It took me longer to do all the music, and transitions, then finding videos and writing.

Devin Hawkins - 5 years ago

I thought the Orgin story project was very fun and easy editing, tansitions, and finding music. But the hard part was narrating the voice over I thought it would be easy but I was kinda off beat I had extra time and in some parts I had to talk really fast to keep up. So that definetly something I wanna improve on.

Laila H. - 5 years ago

I really liked making the video project. I thought it was interesting to be able to experience what the people we watch on YouTube, in movie/tv, etc. do every time they make a production. The process was definitely timey in terms of coming up with what make the video about. I really liked the editing portion where you fade the music, photos, and text. Overall, it was a fun experience and now I know how to make videos and productions. I think everyone should try it :)

marco alejo - 5 years ago

It was kinda hard and easy to start. It was pretty easy making the title with a video. Then it got harder when thinking about a introduction. It was pretty easy finding videos, backgrounds, and music. When I wrote down my ideas for the video it was pretty easy on what to write about. My goals for my next video is to get it done sooner and also to plan for ahead of time before changing things up.

Andrew Cortez - 5 years ago

In the beginning of the project I found it a bit difficult just brainstorming what I was going to make my origin story about. I only started making progress on my video when I got into WeVideo and seen what I was working with. I definitely think being in wevideo and seeing what stock footage they had was a big "ah-ha" moment. My goal for next time is to write a script and plan everything out better.

Natalie W. - 5 years ago

Pre-production was very helpful for me to find out my topic and write my script. Writing my script before production started was a good idea for me because I already knew the order and structure of what I was going to talk about. During production, it was hard at first to learn all of the tricks of editing, but in the end, it was an enjoyable process. Using my own pictures and videos made it more enjoyable and personal for me. In the end I am happy with the video I made. In the future I know it will be a smoother process because I've had practice in editing.

Venecio Siller-Cortez - 5 years ago

What is one thing I like in film is the editing because I can make thing's in class or at home and I can make different things in editing. My goals for the next couple of projects is that I can make something that people will like. One thing I want to do in film is to get better at editing.

Michelle Rodriguez Ramirez - 5 years ago

I began my origin story project by getting ideas from other students ,I saw how they made their projects and I wanted to make mine with those similarities .They all had explained their stories great .I did struggle a little with making the video because I've never really made a we video that I actually took serious .I do look forward to improving my work.

saidia zazai - 5 years ago

When I was editing my origin story I was too scared, I thought that I will never make it. But when I try it, it was very easy and fun. My video was good, but I didn't find the photos that I wanted to edit in my video.

Lauren - 5 years ago

The Origin Story was a new experience for me that I'm happy I did. I struggled with some parts, like finding confidence to get my video going and at one point had to change my whole plan, but at the end it all was perfectly fine. I learned how to use WeVideo and found cool ways I could edit or make a project. In the future I hope I can make my video carry out a story in a style that suits me better.

Nathan Sanchez - 5 years ago

At first, it was a little confusing but I think everything was easy except the editing because you take your time trying to make it look professional. One thing I would like to do is just focus more on my editing so it gets easier for me.

Alex Ura - 5 years ago

I had fun making my origin story video. Every step was easy and I thought it was cool.

dylan guesnon - 5 years ago

the pre production process was not that hard it was just setting up an origin story which was just based on me.

Petr nikolaev - 5 years ago

When i was working on my origin project it was easy nothing hard i just winged it

Anthynee Chavez - 5 years ago

Planning what you want to say can be very challenging and was the main issue I needed to solve in order to complete my project but once you have a solid plan for what you want to do in your video anything is possible.

Alaina - 5 years ago

During the process of making my video, it went really well. I didn't struggle with much besides timing everything out. I wanted all clips to be the exact same length. But since some of my videos were longer than others I had to accept the fact that it wasn't going to happen. Another thing I struggled with is my voice over. It was challenging for me to say things as I go because there was a lot of pressure. Then I wrote a script and I was happy with how my voice over came out. Overall, I am happy with my final product.

Peter - 5 years ago

When I first started my project I didn't really know what I was going to do it on so I just started adding random clips and finally came up with something. I tried to stick to my meson Sen as much as I could during the project. I feel like I could have done better but I am happy with what I made. I can't wait to make the next project.

Belania I. - 5 years ago

Creating my origin story was pretty difficult to me at first because I had no idea what to write about. The origin story brainstorm was a great way to get ideas. As soon as I got my idea in mind I wrote about it and from there the ideas just started to come in mind. Putting everything together was to the best part because it was using creativity more than anything.

Azzy mendez - 5 years ago

At the start of the project, it was hard to find inspiration, and motivation for what I wanted to do, but after watching some of my peers videos I knew what I wanted to do. Some moments that stressed me out was the editing process, it stressed me out because I didn't how I wanted my video to really be perceived. After some thought I was able to "see" that I wanted it to be more of an uplifting story for others, another part that stressed me out about the whole editing process was, how was I supposed to get old pictures and videos of me. At the end of the project I felt relieved that it was over and I felt happy that I was able to finish it and be happy with the end result.

Jesse j - 5 years ago

Creating my origin story was a new and fun process. The extra assignments like the brainstorming, and figuring out what my video was going to be about really helped me with my decision making. I noticed that did struggle a little bit when it came to making the actual video, but in the end I figured it out and made a great video. This project really helped me notice how the process of making a video isn't always easy, but will always be a fun process.

Santpreet Singh - 5 years ago

At first when I started I was confused about what topic I would talk about in my origin story. Then I thought about what thing I know most about and love the most. It was this idea which helped me easily and perfectly create an origin story and talk about it with no worry or anxiety at all.

Hunter Siters - 5 years ago

My WeVideo was not as well as I thought it out to be. I thought I could do alot better than how I did, because I thought this was gonna be easy. I dont think I did too well with the editing and the text, because some of it is off, and that can take some work to fix. I learned alot about editing, and how it isnt as easy as it looks, and it can take time, its something that you cant get done as fast. I think a good idea would be to write out my stratagy to make the video, and edit parts alot easier, as well as learn how to use the available recorces. I think for a first timer, I did a pretty ok job with editing on this new place. I wish that next time I do something like this, I will do alot better, and I will plan out my plan, write it down, and take my time to make it even better!

Sophia - 5 years ago

My origin story, I enjoyed piecing together my script. I also enjoyed clipping video clips and photos together to play in sink with my music. I did not like recording my voice but I think it will come with time. In the future I am looking forward to doing more things like this and hopefully getting better.

Annicia Shaw - 5 years ago

I probably could've took a little more time with my spelling and editing. It was rushed and you can tell. It was difficult but I know if I was to pay attention and focus on what I was doing it would be soo much better.

Leala Moreau - 5 years ago

The Origin Story project really made me think in depth about myself and my talents. I didn't have anything to really to showcase, and it made me feel a bit pressured to have something amazing to show + pictures. However, the more I began to record and search through pictures of my talent I wanted to show, I felt really happy that I made it that far to actually feel proud of my work, even though it didn't come out that way. Overall, I was really happy how it came out. Though, I wish had more pictures/visuals to show in my WeVideo.

Z4h1d - 5 years ago

I didn't do much on my project, just music, effects, and cuts to cars drifting. Its not the best but it's something, better than nothing.

Xavier Wong - 5 years ago

When I first started the project I didn't know what to do the video about and it took me a minute to figure out how to work the audio. The tools and once I asked my peers and started working on it I got a hold of it and it became easier. To the point where I felt like a pro and I started looking for audios and finishing my work overall it was a fun assignment to work on I had a good time working on it.

Diego Garcia - 5 years ago

When I first started off the project, it seemed like it was going to be a lot of work, and that I would not enjoy it, but over the course of creating, polishing, and finishing my film I've found out that I really enjoy making videos that closely resemble documentary's. I wanted to make my video about my specific career, but over the weekend I started to recognize how non-compatible it would have been. Instead I focused on the troubles of finding a career that lead me to find the perfect career. I had procrastinated which I envy doing but it has become pretty bad and I'm fixing that problem. I finished my film in 7 hours, I got home and worked from 4pm-11pm and managed to finish my project before it was due, I will never do that again. My film could have come out so much better if I just stayed on top of things. Don't get me wrong I love the way my film came out but I'm just saying it could have come out a lot better.

warren Richardson - 5 years ago

it was fun and it was also kind of weird mostly because I had to brainstorm a lot. Though it was still fun and there where a lot of new things I leaned about WeVideo.

Angel - 5 years ago

I never finished it but it was just about my origin story I had fun choosing backgrounds for my video and editing some parts of it.

Amari Robinson - 5 years ago

At first I was very confused with how the whole editing thing worked but now I kind of understand it more. I haven't finished my origin story yet because I've never really thought too much about what I'm making my origin story about so I don't really know what to put. It's also kind of hard explaining things in text because I'm not too good at putting my thinking into words. Overall I think that the origin story project is going good I just wish I had thought about it more so I knew what to make it about and what to put in it.

Anika R - 5 years ago

I think that it was fun, it just took me a lot of time to get started and focused.

Ladel Remoket - 5 years ago

At first I was very confused on how to make my video. I couldn't choose a topic on what to talk about. I finally chose something and started writing my script. That was very easy and so was the editing part. The hardest part was the voiceover for me. I kept reading my script wrong and kept stuttering. Eventually after an hour of talking to my microphone I finally did a decent voiceover. But the video was very fun to make!

Evan Anaya - 5 years ago

Starting the origin story project, I was a little annoyed at first. I didn't know what to do, and it felt like it was becoming too much. But as I was doing the brainstorming, I realized something: It was actually starting to become a little fun. It gave me a chance to show others a side of myself that I don't usually express in person. So, I decided to write about how love has changed me. Whether it was me spending time with the woman that I truly love and admire, or friends that I hold dear to me, all of them are the reason that I was able to change for the better. I wanted to uplift others with my journey: the healing process. The point was to influence others to go through their own journey to cope with their possible anxiety and depression, because almost everyone has these insecurities that they do not want to face because they're scared. I wish to be that strength to push them towards the right direction, and to possibly make them smile. So what is my theme? Do whatever makes you the happiest. That's all that matters.

Kimberly Patlan - 5 years ago

I procrastinated a lot when it came to creating my origin story video and production. I was very lost on what I wanted to film and how, eventually I figured it out and even though it was last minute, I enjoyed how my video turned out. I struggled with editing since It was my first time for everything to editing, doing a voice over, adding text and video. I got the hang of it and did very good for my first time. Moving forward I know not to leave things to the last minute and be more creative and productive in my later on projects.

Christoper f. - 4 years ago

So editing was okay, But I enjoyed putting gifs for my decoration. Though I guess I could work on my grammar and spelling, I know I'm not the best but hey " If every porkchop was perfect there would be no hot dog" ;). But I think I didn't like preproduction that much if I'm being honest, it was kinda boring. Though over all I enjoyed just making a video.

jase - 4 years ago

I'd say my project was a success it was deep and defined and i think original to me and it was my first time doing something like that i liked it i would love to do other

hugo - 4 years ago

I feel like my project could've gone smoother and I also feel like I can still add more because it was overall a very rushed project because I did catch covid while the project was supposed to be worked on and I feel like if I took my time more instead of getting it in on time it would've been better. But overall I've really enjoyed this project overall and I would like to do something similar to this in the future and id probably like to retake this class next year.

Mackenzie - 4 years ago

This was first time editing and creating my own video, I felt very comfortable learning how it works and what to do and what not to do. It was a really fun time using we video. other than one typo that I had everything was easy. next time I make a video I think I'll add a recording of my voice to add something more.

Alexander S - 4 years ago

When I started I was behind because I was sick the week before so I started it late so it was hard to figure out what to do until I understood what to do. Then on the brainstorming I couldn't figure out what to do my video on so it took a while before I got that done. Next, when I got the idea the pre-production I didn't really understand for a while so it took even longer. Also, when I got to the making and editing of the video it took a while to start it cause I had no idea how to start it. Finally, I know I need to stop procrastinating on these things but its hard and I also need to be more creative when doing these things but that's also hard but, ill try my best.

In my Origin Story video, I took a lot of time to think on what to put as my pictures and my text. At first, I thought it was going to be very boring and I wouldn't care about it but then I started working on it and then I was thinking to myself and thinking how fun it was to make and talk about your life and what I like most. Once I finished, I was very happy because it took a lot of thinking and focus but in the end, I thought it turned out pretty good. Overall, the origin story project was really fun and relaxing.

Xzavier B - 4 years ago

I procrastinated a lot when I first started brain storming I didn't really know what I was going for but once I started putting personal pictures on we video. and i was with all my teammates and it helped to let me understand how important it is to have a good time with ur bruthas

Sergio Ascencio - 4 years ago

Well its fun to choose what to do your project about like music which was my topic. It was cool to edit my project and put what I wanted but the harder part was the voice over because I kept on thinking of new things to say or forgetting what I wanted to say and it turned into a mess because of the script. This project is fun but I need to finish it.

malachai - 4 years ago

What my experience was that I didn't want to do it at first but then when I saw how easy I could make it it was at the point where I wanted to just get it over with and turn it in and the upside with doing the origin story is that it got a lot off my chest I was less stressed and my friends help me more and my future goals for this would be me making my video better and more smoother than what it would be now

Joseph Itzko - 4 years ago

Id would think that my origin story project was a rather success. This was my first time doing a legit video, and I used a lot of stock images, and videos, and not a lot of home videos, although I enjoy how my origin story turned out. Moving forward, im going to try to make more videos of my own, instead of only stock.

Dalyla A - 4 years ago

When I started the origin story I didn't really know what I wanted it to be about, I had too many ideas on what to base it on. I finally picked an idea but I wasn't really sure I wanted to do it, but I did it anyway. When I first started making the brainstorm for my video and script for it, I had trouble with the script because I didn't want to get too deep into my subject I was doing and I didn't want to sound weird or something like that. I finally got a script that I liked and started making the video. The video making wasn't hard I just was confused on some bits of it, like in the future I would like to rotate photos so they do not look weird. I had some trouble with the music because I thought it sounded weird but it was fine in the end. What I found successful was my voice over, at first I was nervous about it but it sounded pretty good and clear. I also liked how the videos I put in came out. There is definitely things I need to learn about making videos but I think mine came out pretty good for a first big project.

Robyn - 4 years ago

I was satisfied with my final product, I think I did good for my first project like this. It was a new experience, and there were some issues. For example, I was out for a week prior and didn't get any information on WeVideo, but I think I was able to manage. I hope that next time I will be able to write a clearer ending for my script, I felt unsatisfied with the script's current ending.

Layla - 4 years ago

When I started my origin story I was really confused and wasn't sure what to do or was thinking maybe I should change my video topic. I was struggling and didn't know if I could do it but once I asked my questions to understand it more it wasn't as hard. I think as long as you have a script and good idea that you like it's a really fun project.

Alexis B - 4 years ago

I feel like I did a good job as it is my first time making a longer video on WeVideo. I realized how many parts there is to make everything flow and look good and how much time and effort you have to put into it. I had some trouble brainstorming ideas on what to talk about which got me a little behind but I feel like in the end it'll be a great video and I had fun in the process of making it as well.

Yash - 4 years ago

Now when I started this origin story project I wasn't sure on really what to do but in the Pre-Production I did get a lot of ideas. I worked on the project and had many cool ideas but I did procrastinate a lot during this project. Once I realized that many things that I could have done in the project were optional I decided not to do them. So I guess you could say I went for the easy way. It was still fun and enjoyable to make it but I knew that I could have done better. Now in the future i know that I should be more creative and more productive in projects. When another project like this comes i will make sure to do my best and not procrastinate.

Evelina - 4 years ago

My goal is to get better at the little things and make sure the reader can understand the little things in my videos. The challenges were getting the and worrying I wouldn't get it turned in time and won't be able to edit the way I wanted too. My future ideas would be making it look more detailed and more longer. I would try fixing my text in my origin story and fixing the audio and try fixing my spelling there. I would want to improve my videos like making them more interesting and more fun to read. From now on I would try to learn more things and try to make my video better.

Artem - 4 years ago

My experience creating my Origin Story video project was actually pretty easy. At first I was lost on what I wanted to do, then after thinking a little I finally figured out what I wanted to. After I had the idea of what I wanted to do my Origin Story on I started tp write my script about what I want to do, it was all over the place but when I got further into creating my Origin Story it started to get fun.

Robert - 4 years ago

Reflect your your experience creating your Origin Story video project from Pre-Production, to Production, to wrapping up Post. Provide examples of struggles, ah-has!, and big take-aways as well as a goal or two moving forward!

Overall, I had a pretty good experience making my origin story. At the beginning with the pre-production, I struggled a little bit in deciding what to make my origin story about. There were so many possible options, but I am glad I decided to talk about my future. Editing the video was easy, deciding what to say in my script was the difficult part. I am glad that I spaced my video out so I didn't wait until the last minute to complete it. I hope that I can learn from this and hope that my future work benefits from the feedback I received.

Jimmy Correa - 4 years ago

I didn't finish it yet but I want to say is that its hard to find what I want to talk about but hopefully its good enough

Dominik Hernandez - 4 years ago

I was given like 2 weeks to do it and I completed it in one night, it really wasn't hard at all. The only hard part about this assignment was most likely the script, that's it.

Guillermo Urena - 4 years ago

Creating my origin story and brainstorming it was the easiest part. I had just had my favorite food that my mom makes the day before and it came to my mind. I realized that dish had been with me most of my life and it had still been my favorite. The production part is the part I am still stuck on. I am trying to finish it but I keep procrastinating. I am going to try to finish it today and I am going to stop procrastinating.

Jaiden Rios - 4 years ago

I enjoyed this project and the process of it pretty much through it all. I struggled most with text and finding the right images. I would rate this project experience a 8/10, I could improve on dialogue and bigger clearer text. I liked importing my personal video clips and editing little by little through out the whole project.

Dylan F - 4 years ago

Editing and creating the Origin Story was the easiest part for me but after watching the final product I had created, I seem to struggle with making a clear ending and call to action

Stassi Saris - 4 years ago

Creating my origin story was actually not hard for me at all. I did it about something that I actually like doing so it was pretty easy to make. They hardest part was probably writing the script but the making the video was easy. I hope I can work this good on my next projects or assignments.

Davis - 4 years ago

My experience with this whole thing was really nice. Filming it and getting the idea for it were the easiest parts. I think that it was a really great way for me to be able to learn how to film, write a script, and edit. I think that out of the three categories, Production was the easiest because I had fun with it.

Sunnie F. - 4 years ago

My favorite part was the editing and adding my own pictures and stuff to it. The production part was also very fun, me getting to add whatever I wanted and not having to go along with somebody's rule, me just being able to be myself with these videos are my favorite. My least favorite was the finishing it by adding a video of me talking at the end, I hated every second of it and ended up procrastinating until the last minute.

Mateo F. - 4 years ago

Though the process was difficult, it was still fun at times. Like being able to choose stock footage, written narrative, and using audio that isn't my own instead of having to record everything myself.

cody - 4 years ago

I found t hard to start, what to write, what to say, what to do, but as I kept trying it got easier and I'm really happy with what I turned in. I could have done better whit audio quality but I used what I was given. overall really happy with my video.

Gabriel - 4 years ago

I didn't do it

Noah F - 4 years ago

Creating this project was difficult for me only because I had a lot of ideas and I couldn't decide what to choose. I also struggled uploading a video from my phone to "we video". I'm having fun making it though.

Abraham - 4 years ago

Making and creating my origin story was very easy. I had made it about how much I like video games and that there is more to video games than people think. I finished in one day which was great because I could've had time to make any changes if I needed to.

Manav - 4 years ago

The story I used was brainstormed by my group but I really enjoyed editing the video adding my own thoughts into it. I had a part where we had to slam the sandwich in the dustbin and when I was editing I new right away that I will add a explosion footage right after the sandwich enters the dustbin. So overall it was fun editing this project. I had a good takeaway from this project, I learned how to use we video which I can later use in my other projects.

Adan - 4 years ago

My experience with the whole origin story was nice because I actually had fun while making it because I get to show others what I truly am about and I really enjoyed that.Also, it showed me lots of different ways I can make a script and edit.I think out of all 3 categories the editing was the easiest

Sumerjit - 4 years ago

The pre-production process was a good way to explore different ideas and help choose one to pursue. It was also a good way to thinking about the shot selection. The production part was the easiest since I already had an idea and how to shoot it all. In terms of editing, I learned how to use Google Earth Studio. So that is one skill that I learned. The whole project was enjoyable.

Jewell - 4 years ago

This project was really easy and fun to make. It was also very cool to learn how to edit videos. It took me a long time to figure out what sound I wanted to use because I didnt know exactly what I wanted. But I am happy with how my video came out.

Timothy/ Christian Duran - 4 years ago

Creating my origin story was bit of a struggle because I had to do a lot of retakes due to my performance of playing catch with my little brother and the way I was introducing myself in the beginning and rapping it up at the end. Ill say that the brainstorming was the most easiest to do because all I had to do was think of the feelings deep down of baseball. The only struggles was getting perfect wether and timing during the day because i wouldn't get home till 8 due to practice. And I feel like it would have been a lot easier if I would have just started on it when it was assigned instead of procrasinating the assignment and doing it fast instead of taking my time on it and not pushing it away.

Jack Sands - 4 years ago

When I was making my origin story, I started with a general idea for what it would be about, and from there I added more until I was a full short story. When I was doing the editing I first made the ending and then started from the beginning so I knew what my story was building up to, then I added some nice music and I was done.

Angelo Segura - 4 years ago

It was very awkward hearing my voice also it just felt uninteresting talking about myself but in the future i think ill be able to do better.

Conrad Ramos - 4 years ago

I finished it on time but I should have put more care and time for polishing and making final touches

Angel C. - 4 years ago

Starting off I had no idea what to make the video about, so for the first day i was just thinking about what I could do. Then my mom gave me the idea of making my origin story about Nascar, I was unsure at first, but when i had started the script I was certain this was it. Main struggles were with not messing up during narration, and getting video. one day it was 115, and the power had just returned I had only so much time to get to work on it. now when I narrate I have to turn off my desk fan because it messes up the audio, and my ceiling fan is broken, so I have to get it right and then turn it back on so I don't cook. I had 7 takes that day. now with video, I had no idea how to get video I tried multiple screen recording things on my computer and a whole day later I realized I could simply record my screen on my phone. but the struggle was not done yet I didn't know how to get video from my phone to my computer, I tried plugging my phone in and that was complicated, and then I found I could just upload it to google drive by some sharing thing (again already in the phone). otherwise everything went smoothly.

Anthony - 4 years ago

The experience was a little stressful but easy and swift. There were not really struggles but nuisances
that were easily dealt with.

Christopher C - 4 years ago

By the time I type this post, I haven't actually finished my video, but from I've done so far, I can say that I did not like the Pre-Production part. The topic of the video is myself, and I struggle to figure out what's even interesting in my life to even warrant an entire video about it. Pre-Production ended up taking way longer than it should have, which ended up giving me less time to work on the video. The editing isn't finished, but I have confidence that I can finish it with skills alone. I chose this class because I wanted to learn and improve my video editing skills, as I am interested in editing while also having editing skills from prior experiences. But the fact that I didn't enjoy the topic makes me think that it wouldn't be a video I'm proud of. I want to be passionate or interested in the video I'm making, that's when I can give the video my best effort. This is kind of the reason why I avoid taking these kind of creative classes, I want to learn the skills but I'm not interested in my work. I feel as if time management is something I need to work on, but I don't know what I could do to force myself to like a topic or care about it. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do about that.

Hunter - 4 years ago

I did not like the idea I chose for my origin story that much. But what I did enjoy was editing the video. I realized that I should spend more time thinking about what I want to make videos about and execute my ideas better. All in all I think it's an alright assignment.

Marykate B. - 4 years ago

My experience in creating my Origin Story video wasn't really that hard. I think it was easy to create a script about the things I like, but the most difficult part of the assignment for me was finishing the project. I was procrastinating a lot during the whole process, so I think my goal next time is to do my video on time.

cheyla - 4 years ago

My project was pretty easy the main challenge was definitely procrasinating.

max - 4 years ago

I think the project was pretty easy because I used just stock photos and music from wevideo, which was pretty easy. I feel like the audio was probably the weirdest part, just because there was some glitchy parts.

Gabby - 4 years ago

This project was fun for me, and it was pretty easy because I edit movie clips and characters to music on my phone too, so I knew most of the basics on video production. I haven't made anything this long though, so I struggled a little bit with coming up with what to add.

angel bermudez - 4 years ago

It was cool.

Antonio D'Antonoli - 4 years ago

Pre-production was the easiest part for me, it was actually making the video that was difficult. I did find making the script slightly difficult too. What I chose to do my video on was something that my feelings changed on during production, which slowed all of my progress. I realized what I wanted to do and how to get around the block far too late for me to accomplish my goal with the video. I will spend more time on scheduling and planning.

camille - 4 years ago

I enjoyed the pre-production part because it was fun to plan how the video was going to be but the hardest parts were coming up with a script, trying to put all of my ideas into the video, and finishing my video on time.

arsneiy - 3 years ago

Something that I liked about Pre-production is that is was fun and pretty easy to do the videos. The hardest thing about it was figuring out what I wanted to have in my video to make it funny and easy.

Mateo - 3 years ago

I thought this project was quite positive, since it let you focus on your own subject but summarized. The production was easy in my opinion. Hopefully reception to my project will be better than I interpreted.

landon - 3 years ago

I enjoyed getting all the clips from different movies and some clips of my own gameplay but it was a struggle getting all the music and making it go with the clips on screen, but overall it was pretty fun.

Matheus Marques - 3 years ago

At first I thought it would be challenging but after I learned how to upload pictures and learned how to edit it became kind of fun so I enjoyed some parts. My least favorite had to be recording my voice over, and my favorite part would have to be uploading things from my phone. But video production is fun when editing because of how much creativity you have during editing.

Mauricio - 3 years ago

I didn't finish

shafiq quraishi - 3 years ago

the project was fun, I liked how we did the iceberg because it really did give an idea on what we are working on.

Brianna S. - 3 years ago

It was a pretty chill project fir me. I didnt really know what I wanted to talk about at first, but ater pre production it was like really clear where I wanted to take this. It was hard writing the script, but once I opened up WeVideo, I just started writing, and I think it came out pretty good. Finding footage was hard, I kmnew i had pictures and videos that I wanted to use, but I just couldnt find them. Overall though, it was pretty straightforward for me, and I really enjoyed this project

Jordan - 3 years ago

at first I really didn't understand what i was doing but when I was doing pre-productions it started to help me understand and get into the work much better. When i was doing production I didn't know how I wanted to start of my film but after I had go the intro out the I start to find pictures sounds and recorded a video of myself to get the possesses moving along and at the end I was proud of the work I had done even though I was clowning myself for a good minute.

Adam - 3 years ago

The pre-production was definitely the easiest but also most complicating part. It was difficult to chose just one aspect of my life to focus on for a whole project but after that it was relatively easy. The actual production was where I struggled the most because my abilities were limited on the school computers due to the restrictions, so as such most of the work had to be done at home. And since my time management was not exactly great, I was left with a deadline the next day and a mostly un edited video. However I did persevere and create something I'm mostly happy with. However as always there are aspects that I'm a little hyper critical about and found I did poorly on. All in all it was a fun project, and I would be happy to do more in the future.

Eddie G - 3 years ago

I liked finding the old videos and pictures which gave me memories from the start of my journey. The ending was my favorite part of my film because the visual effects was cool plus the transitions and music. I spent a good couple hours on it and I think it was worth it for sure.

Bennett kubish - 3 years ago

Starting the pre production I had no clue what I was doing and I didn't understand the point of the assignment but when I was putting it all together it made sense and everything flowed very naturally. A struggle I had was finding what I wanted to write about and how I was going to put it together but once I had it planned out it was very easy.

Vika K - 3 years ago

I had a hard time choosing how and what I wanted to make mine about, the script especially got me stuck. I pushed it back all the way to the very end and just spent a lot of time thinking because I find it difficult to talk about myself like that.

Vika S - 3 years ago

For my Origin story video I had an okay time making and editing this video. A lot of the times in class there was really slow wifi in class and it was difficult to upload photos. But I managed to have time to work and finish the video at home. I kind of had a hard time editing on wevideo because I haven't used it in a while and didn't know how to use many options on wevideo. But I got the video done and turn in in with satisfaction.

Dyana Paz - 3 years ago

Cameron Arcona - 3 years ago

Making the video was fun. Im glad I could use my own creativity to create my video. Im happy the topic was our choosing. Im most happy with the ending. It was fun brainstorming the ideas and gathering the pictures and videos. I loved editing eveything and making it one.

hector alvaro - 3 years ago

making my video was good I talked a lot about how football was my dream and how I wanted to make it. Also coming up with ideas was a little hard but I just used the thing I was already doing which was football and it was a obvious choice but I tried to be creative with it.

Nathalia - 3 years ago

Making my origin story project was a bit difficult in the beginning because I wasn't used to using We-Video and some of the things were hard to navigate. I had trouble during the creative process because I couldn't come up with an idea on the spot that I wanted to do for my project, but eventually I figured it out. I had trouble getting things into my google drive and uploading things in general but I found out how to do it eventually and in time for my project to be summited. This project was very fun and made me go outside of my comfort zone, and I would want to do it again.

lia - 3 years ago

My experience with creating my own Origin Story video project wasn't very difficult. I think the only problem I had was finding videos and photos. It took a while to find some photos and videos then it wouldn't download sometimes or it would have to take 50 minutes for one video. I think the brainstorming was a little hard, I'm not very good at brainstorming sometimes so it took a while for me.

Saveena G - 3 years ago

I enjoyed the actual recording part because I was able to tell the audience what I felt and got to explain my story. But I didn't like doing the editing only because it was very confusing and since this is really my first real project it was a bit confusing and did take me a good 2 hours to do which is a bit for all at once but I got a hang of it.

Dalyla S - 3 years ago

I had a hard time with my script for the voiceover. I wasn't sure how to phrase my thoughts, but after I figured it out the whole project was easier. I had fun editing and finding stock images. I found background audio that fit with my video very well. I'm pretty happy with the end result, but something I would change or take away is to make the audio smoother. I think there are weird points where its too loud and its hard to hear me.

liliana r - 3 years ago

For my video I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't have anything in my life that was interesting enough to make the video about. I ended up doing the story very late because I didn't know what to do it on. Sense I did the video late it didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to. I did end up having a lot of fun making and editing the video

Rylan Bauer - 3 years ago

My experience creating my Origin Story video project was overall fantastic. When it comes to the preproduction it was fun planning out the structure taking place in the video although it was a struggle at times to give an in depth and detailed description of every scene. Production was easier to me than pre production because I had set the framework already so all I had to do was follow the steps of the script. Post production was the hardest part for me because getting transitions and cuts flawless took a lot of time but it was very rewarding when the whole video eventually came together. My goals for the future are to develop even better videos and do them more efficiently.

Donavyn - 3 years ago

I had a fun time making the video. I procrastinated a lot though but i feel like if i took more time in making the video my grade on it would have been better. i wish i had found some better pictures and videos for it but i think it was pretty good.

Alina Expinoza - 3 years ago

My experience's with creating my own origin story is it was very challenging with my story line because I didn't have any footage of me to actually put in there so it was all stock footage and it didn't feel to personal besides the voice over. The voiceover was challenging because I kept on messing up when it came to speaking because I tend to write stuff down but change it when reading it so that was hard. I enjoyed the story that I shared and the stock pictures went good with the story. My pre-production was hard to start on because I wasn't here the first 2 days they started so it was hard to understand and catch up then the day I did come back we had a sub so it was very hard finding putting my story in my preproduction but once I got it everything kind of fell into place and it flowed good. Overall I'm proud for how the video came out for it being my first time making a video and editing a video.

Amira - 3 years ago

It was difficult brainstorming to see what I wanted to talk about at first. But I got it after a while and it was easy. It wasn't hard after I really thought about what I wanted to talk about. I enjoyed editing my video and uploading pictures and audio.

Alexander T - 3 years ago

I did a all-nighter doing my project thinking it will be easy and fast. I worked on a script for a week but after looking over my script it was trash. I planed to do a interview with another person who would ask me questions with different angles but I was wrong in thinking about that because my friend was not ready. In the end I went with a interview with me playing both charterers and changed my script to free flow and not pre-planed like I prepared a hole week. My topic was a hard topic to discuss and go into more detail so I decided to change the topic that I can talk about my life and the other topic that both clashed into one. I recorded all my footage in time but I did not put the time to upload the videos and edit them into consideration. I learned a lot about video editing within the 4 hours I edited my video like looking thru my footage of failed clips and looking for the good take out of the many takes. the other part of this that I learned was to have better lighting and placement of the camera because looking at the footage I hade I was like dang that is really me best shot? So in conclusion If you are reading this anybody just do this project a week early so you don't have to worry about pulling a all-nighter like I did.

Andru Chavez - 3 years ago

I had a fun time doing my video, granted I only took 40 minutes for me and I wish I had better editing equipment but it was fun none the less

Yevgeniy Avdeyev - 3 years ago

It was hard to think of a general idea. Something original is hard to come up with. The rest of it was easy, putting together clips isn't that hard.

Mia C - 3 years ago

i knew exactly what I wanted my project to be about when i started it. I write down my script and knew exactly what I wanted to do and prent. The only issue was I had a veryy busy weekend and went to a party, so when it was over I had to come home and record. I struggled fitting a voice over my video because I never liked how my voice sounded when I recorded it. I sounded monotone. Like a robot. Once i finally sat down and recorded it all, it was fairly easy to put together and Im happy i finished it.

Gurpreet Sidhu - 3 years ago

It was hard at first because i could not think of anything. But after awhile i figured out what i wanted to write about and it was pretty easy after that. But choosing the scenes and music was hard because i wanted it to be perfect. It didnt really take me that long witch was suprising i think its because i did it at home and since i finished fast i had a lot of freetime.

samuel s - 3 years ago

it was kinda hard because i didnt really know how to edit but i figured it out and got decent at it

Danil V - 3 years ago

I didn't save my first video, so my final product was rushed, the first video I spent roughly 7-9 hours on the video and my final video I spent 2ish hours on and it was noticeable. Since I didn't balance out the audio correctly, the music I had in the background overlapped my audio of me speaking and it ruined half of the video, it was still a fun project, it just sucks I didn't save my first video.

Caden Mendoza - 3 years ago

I learned throughout my production that the editing takes a long time and a lot of work. I found it was difficult to brainstorm ideas and make the script long enough to be at least a minute and a half. Although, I did enjoy the editing an uploading my pictures and videos. Overall, making the video was harder than I thought it would be because it was time consuming and hard to think of ideas.

Gurpreet S - 3 years ago

also 2 goals i have is to make my project longer and make it more detailed with a voice over and stuff.

Dominick Easlon - 3 years ago

Doing my video was pretty easy, not much work was needed to be done yet I think that it's kind of bland as I did a small recording and had a short video, however I think that it fits with was I was going for in the boring aspect but also it's just not very eye catching, so it's not bad I just think I could have done more to make it look better.

Joseph H. - 3 years ago

I made the mistake of putting all the work off until the literal last day to turn in late work. I ended up working on the origin story from around 11pm - 2 am. However it did end up coming out really amazing. The difficult part of the project was coming up with words last minute to really sympathize with the audience. but overall I did enjoy working on it and I'm feeling even better in my editing skills.

Safeia - 3 years ago

I thought it would be easy, but that was not the case. I wrote my script and it thought it was good but it wasn't so I had to change it a bit and I did my voiceover and it took me forever because I kept messing up by laughing or mispronouncing the words. When I finished the voice over I put in we video and I had to do subtitle which took forever and once I did that I had to find clips for my origin story. Once I finished I was relived. It was harder than I thought.

alexis e - 3 years ago

To start this project I was really confused on what I wanted to write about. I knew from the beginning I wanted to use real life footage and not just like stock footage that was not me. I decided that you can see my growth and there is lots of videos of me playing volleyball. It took me two days to get all my footage to my drive and to load because of the Wifi. Then I organized it in chronological order. Once all my clips were organized I did a voice over which took 5 different tries, then I got my final production. In total it took me a week.

Kanin M. - 3 years ago

When I was making my pre-production script, I thought to myself that it didn't really seem like it would be fit for the assignment, and that I got off track and started rambling on and on, but I decided to go with it anyways. When I started making my video, I was trying to decide when to do my voice over, how many edits were to much, and how many were to little. I had a hard time figuring out how to match my voice to the video, and if I could redo it, I would've put more oomph into my voice, since it wasn't feeling well that day. I would've also done some voice warm-ups to ready my voice up since I sounded like the guy who says "Burger king foot lettuce". Some aha! moments I had was when I was trying to find a song/music for my video, when I came across one that almost lined up with the cuts and edits perfectly. I also added some things that weren't in my script into the video, like the endings, last second, so I had to improvise on the spot. Some big takeaways were that I need to get a better microphone, and that I should make the voice-over before the video so that I can edit and cut the video to match my voice.

I felt like i was working forever on my orgin story video because it took forever to edit everything. It took time making a script but it wasn't enough info, so i had to dig deeper into my thoughts to find more things to add to my script so it would be enough. I did have trouble thinking of ideas to use and it took a while till something really clicked and i was able to use it. But in the end i got it done and im proud of all the hard work i put into it and i really enjoyed making it and i think i did a great job on it for my first orgin story video project.

Joanna Dyer - 3 years ago

So basically I Took a whole week on my project because of me forgetting about it and ended up turning it in late and I felt fine with that because I knew I would be able to turn it in by Thursday the only thing I was scared about was am I gonna edit this in time and make it look presentable in a hour because Wednesday is a mini day so I got my act together, put it all together and in 20 minutes I made the best video that I ever made and that's how I know I'm finna do good in this class because aint no way I pulled that off and I'm actually proud of myself and glad I kept all those videos of my pet cat or I would have been done for but yep I think I did really good in all honesty.

jamiek - 3 years ago

when i first stared the bran storm i had i had no idea what i was going to do i was just writing stuff but then i relies that i can do something that i love to do and how i got to that point and how i was feeling and how i overcame that stuff that was hared for me and i grow from that it and once i got my idea i new what the video was going to be the hardest part was just the brainstorming but once that was done it was essay

Ria D - 3 years ago

For my origin story, I wasn't sure what to make it about. I didn't think my life was that interesting. I don't play sports or have any hobbies which is why it took me a while coming up with an idea. I usually make up stories about fictional things and not about myself. Once I found an idea I wanted to do, it was fun adding text and music. I enjoyed making the video personal to me and unique.

Clasten V - 3 years ago

When I started doing this video it was hard t find the things to put into the video to match what I was saying but I managed and it worked out because of how quick thinking I was and how it was simple things I added to bring it all together I had struggled to start the audio in the beginning bc of noise issue's and thus I needed to do it at school which was a little more troublesome because I had to wait till I got home to send it to my drive then I had to wait till I got to school to start editing it. But after I finished editing I over looked it and it turned out to be better then I thought out for it to be and so I determined the project official and I finally had finished it in under 2 days.

Abdullah Nasrati - 3 years ago

I had fun making the video because in the video l had to edit. l like editing so much because you have to look for pictures audios and a lot more. l have to do it because am in a class that am going to edit in assignments and a lot more. So l have to get used to it and it's fun l had fun editing my video talking and a lot more.

Chris R - 3 years ago

In my experiences with my origin story was fairly easy. For the most part it was simple but the struggles I had were coming up with what kind of story I wanted to make and how I would fit in certain clips. I started to put clips together the day before and when I woke up the next day I just recorded my voice line. But besides that everything was easy enough and it worked out just fine.

Nick M - 3 years ago

In creation of the Origin Story was fun. The Pre-Production was mostly difficult do to trying to find all the needed information. When I was working on one of the ideas, I had then a better idea that came to mind. Started all over with the better idea, happened multiple times until I committed to one. The editing wasn't to bad it was one of the easiest things to do. The take away is not to over due the video with to many images at once.

Tim R - 3 years ago

In my experience the origin story video project was pretty easy. At first I was kind of slacking but when I really just sat down and worked on it, it was pretty simple. I just got some clips of copy right footage and matched it to what I was talking about. The part that I probably struggled with the most was finding the videos, yes wevideo has a lot of footage but there where somethings that I couldn't find but all I did was look it up on the internet and put it into wevideo. My biggest take away is the keep searching and just to focus in and get things done. My goal for next time is to make subtitles and more imaging to my video.

Dan W - 3 years ago

The Pre-production was over all good for me. It wasn't hard to find out what I was going to do for my project the only problem was that I didn't have any footage to put in so I had to find things like stock footage for the whole thing as It wasn't hard to do so it was hard to find the one that would fit in. One thing I take away is that I learned many things like using green screens or how to transition things but I would still like to Work more on editing part in as I didn't do much but put things in a added sound with some effects. My goal is to work better on the inside of editing like putting more clips into one frame. The production in all was good as I took away many things from it but in the future I want to be able to do more in a editing session. In all it took 2 days to finish it up which wasn't bad because I tough it would take long but the final product was all good for me.

Gabby - 3 years ago

My experience with making my video was fun and at times really challenging. I was able to find the right music to make it sound good and I was able to edit all the clips to hopefully fit the part when I was talking about that certain thing/ image or clip that I was talking about. Some of the main things that I struggled with or I got stuck with was finding because I don't have any clips of me playing volleyball, and there aren't many clips online for free of people playing volleyball. but I eventually found some clips and images of people playing volleyball. Then I threw it all together and put some music in there and it was not my best but it was good with everything had, in my opinion

Ariel A. - 3 years ago

Making my origin story, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to make it more personal. I also wanted to make it beautiful, so I spent hours finding music that I wanted specifically for each part and stalk footage that looked cohesive. I spent the whole weekend before it was due "perfecting" my video. Half way through editing I decided I hated the voice over so I did it again, then when I laid it over the music it was to quiet, so I spent a lot of time adjusting audio levels. That weekend I also filmed the tree that I really wanted, when I got the footage back I was so happy with it and that made the last bit of editing easier! Overall, I had a lot of fun on this project and I really liked being able to choose what my what my story to looked like.

Nate - 3 years ago

When I started on the brainstorm I had no Idea what to do and at first I thought of doing a day in the life but I realized I would have to record myself all day and I could only do it on the weekends. So then I deleted everything I had and restarted I came up with another idea and that took me like a week to finish. When I finally started working on it I had to get clips of me to put in the video and I had to voice over it. When I was making it wasn't coming out how I envisioned and I was not able to finish by the deadline.

Shayal P - 3 years ago

My video was based off of my mom and sister and the way I was raised as an Indian female; American born Indo-Fijian girl to be specific. My video was about how I look up to my mother and my big sister for raising me and preparing me for what it would be like and how to deal with things, and I'm really glad I choose that for my video to talk about bc I will always take the opportunity to talk about that and my experience growing up the way I did especially considering where I live is very diverse however I wish I was able to go into more detail and be more specific about things I've been through, and I also wish hit was easier for me to talk about things. I wish I included more images of my family and more images of my mom before she came to America while she was living in Fiji still. I also wish I was able to get more input from my sister and that I edited the video more to have cleaner transitions from image to image. I liked the song I picked but at the same time I wish I had chosen something else or had edited it for the image to fit better in the images while switching to new image and each image transiting out in some type of way rather then each image just turning into the next one.

Samuel V - 3 years ago

It took me between 10-12 hours to do this project, putting in way too much effort than I realistically needed. I had decided to go for a meme editing type style, since I've seen it plenty of time before this online, and I wanted to go for a more funny vibe for my video, rather than somber. I had written a script in class and I followed it somewhat, not exactly as written, but just as whatever sounded better in the moment. I had used my phone to record and once I uploaded it, I realized just how dumb I looked half the time. Things that would be ok to do in a conversation, but not in a video. This is another reason I had decided to a meme styled video. I could pretty easily hide my face when I looked stupid and just block it out, only showing my face when I'm looking alright. Since I did my video as I did, I had to download every image I needed by hand, remove the background, download the new image once again, drag it over into capcut, put it in, have to find the moment I started to saw the word and end it the millisecond I stopped. I did that with 265 images, after removing the background. I'm somewhat proud of what I did, but there's still tons of holes in the video, it being choppy and not really having a flow, along with the fact that i just spoke too fast to the point where the images were just flashing on screen for like a third of a second, and probably overthinking the images I chose, just spending too much time trying to "perfect it" even though I knew I couldn't. Overall I liked making this video, even if it is my own fault for not starting earlier, and ending up on a time crunch.

Tyrone O - 3 years ago

During this project at first I was stuck and confused and didn't want to do it but then I realized its just my life. I talked about what I love to do which is basketball. I talked about my journey when I was little and what I wanted to be when I grew up. I almost didn't finish in time but I worked on it at home. I had a good time making it, it was fun making the video and talking about my basketball journey and putting my basketball clips together.

Evane S - 2 years ago

The project was fun and challenging in interesting ways. Shooting new footage is especially fun. next time I will upload it one by one instead of waiting three whole freaking days, which definitely slowed down my process a bit.

Robin Butler - 2 years ago

I had a hard time figuring out what to do but once I got more and more ideas for the video it was easier for me to do something for the project.

The filming was super fun i really enjoyed it but i kept changing the concept of my video all the time making it harder for me to be able to finish it i hope i can approve on not doing this in the future but doing the overall project was very fun.

Selena S. - 2 years ago

The project was a little difficult at times but overall it was a fun project. I really struggled with figuring out what I wanted to do for the project but once I figured it out it wasn't that bad. If we do a project like this again I would try to focus more and make this my priority.

Liliana - 2 years ago

It took me a short time to do this project because I knew what I wanted to do and what to use I just needed to find the clips and what not to put the project together. I think the most difficult part was actually putting what, where and actually doing it.

Spencer W. - 2 years ago

The hardest part of this project for me was finding the time between school, homework, and work work to record, edit, test, and download certain parts for this project

Elijah D - 2 years ago

I have a hard time doing my work at home, so working on the project in class was pretty nice. However, I hate talking about myself and I keep doing things and then deleting them because I don't like how they come out. I'm nearing the end of my project and I've done my voice-over again and again so many times while tweaking it, which is kind of fun and tedious at the same time.

Van - 2 years ago

I had struggles with the time needed for the different subjects I was talking about. But besides that I had a lot of fun making it and I liked my end result. I would of liked to record my self driving but I ended up not having time after school.

Bethany de Young - 2 years ago

Coming up with the idea was simple enough and the audio production went smoothly. The main issue was the media I wanted to apply to the project. In the middle of creating a small animation for a snippet of the video, I discovered a better program for animation. This caused me to alter my previous media choice and animate the entire video, so I still haven't finished my video. I still have one last scene to animate and then I can have the satisfaction and relief of the finished product by this evening.

cordale w - 2 years ago

during the project I thought about different ideas but, there was one I picked and I sticked with it. So i feel like the hardest part is choosing an idea and actually going through with it. Overall though I didn't have many challenges just what i said before though.

Amelia - 2 years ago

My project was stressful because I had no idea what to do until last minute. When I finally had an idea, I brainstormed with notes on paper. That allowed me to more clearly envision my video. After gathering content and writing a script, I had fun editing, it's a satisfying process.

Rinat - 2 years ago

I didn't make it yet

Edris A - 2 years ago

I really enjoyed making my origin story video. I thought that it was very fun making videos about my life. But, I believe the pre production part was the easiest. It took me about 4-5 hours to make my final product and I really like the way it turned out. Some struggles I had was gathering footage because I would always forget about it. But some things I learned was how to put different clips together and make a real nice video.

Sabrina - 2 years ago

I am almost finished with it but overall it was a pretty fun project to work on because we were thinking deep into a topic. Something that I found hard was trying to do the script because I didn't really know what to say. Something I can do better for next time is probably double look and check everything just to make sure that everything is good. I learned to edit a lot more and better with this project.

Tanjyoth Dhaliwal - 2 years ago

I struggled with this project for a while at first, but afterwards everything started coming together for me and I got a better idea of how I wanted to put it together. I ended up doing well and turned it in before the deadline was met, however I still feel like my main point was not covered the best way and I could have tried to put more effort into creating and editing it, the editing part felt rough but I still had fun brainstorming it and putting those ideas together.

Dorrell Bolton - 2 years ago

I just started my origin story but I know the process of what I want to do. Some of the things I will keep and put in other videos is music and voice overs because they make the video more interesting and easier for people to each for most. Things that I will probably wont do in all of them is photos and videos of myself because I wont know if they will be need in all of them.

Alexandria Saunders - 2 years ago

The project was pretty fun process to do it had its ups and downs like trying to find music, forgetting how to add transitions, trying to get art posted kind of failed but succeed too. When I was doing the pre production I was thinking hard about what I was going to choose but then figured it out and it turned out really good in the end then came my origin story and its almost done and i think its good and I wanna try and use more transitions in the future.

katrina - 2 years ago

I like creating the video although, I did not like pre-production. I am not very good at coming up with ideas that I have to put on a google doc, I mainly go along with the flow of the video. Like I have an idea of what I want to do but getting detailed in explaining what I want to do before making any of it is difficult for me. (if that makes sense). The editing part was very fun though. I would enjoy editing another project.

Marlanie Ragan - 2 years ago

This project was good, I had to put a lot of thought into it and I had to really think about what I liked. Some struggles I had were what to write about, it was mostly just the thought process that had to go in it since my creative thinking was shot and I had writers/art block. Some aha's I had were when I knew I could write about music, which is my favorite topic. The big take-away I got from this project is that I can do art in any form, if I put all my effort into it. One of my goals for moving forward is to think big and not procrastinate.

Yair S Perez - 2 years ago

I didn't really struggle because I've used We Video multiple time in my school career. The minor struggles that I did encounter was finding videos that fit the topic that I am talking about, so I had to search those videos up; then paste them onto We Video. I haven't finished with the video yet, but should be done by the end of today

Joanna Nava - 2 years ago

The hardest part of my orgin story was finding videos and trying to make everything add together. also the 2nd hardest is talking about it

Maverick - 1 year ago

The hardest part of the origin story was trying to get the script right and not stuttering during the recording. It took a lot of takes and tries to get it right but I was able to eventually.

Evan - 1 year ago

The hardest part was finding photos from when I was little since it was such a long time ago. Put overall making the clips sync together with the text and music was easy and I didn't struggle much. My goal moving forward would be upgrading and spending more time on it so I can provide a better film.

Frank - 1 year ago

My goal for the next Unit of Beginning Video Production is making sure I do my We Video's of time and make sure that they fully load into We Video. The reason is because I had recently done my We Video for my class and I didn't let it fully Download into the system. Causing my file that I had recorded and edited to not be imported. And after I saw this I tried to fix it, but saw that it had corrupted the file and I had lost all my progress. Now that I have learned my lesson and learned what I should do next is to wait for the video to fully download and then edit, so I don't lose all my progress for the next Unit. But overall, my experience editing, and making the video was super fun and would definitely make another video but submit is on time next time.

Ivan - 1 year ago

when I started I thought it was going to be hard and got stuck on planning but when Mr. hanks helped me plan it and i started making the video it was fun and wasn't hard but I did get stuck on how to upload photos so I just used the camera and put my phone in font of it and it made the quality bad but I was fine with it because at least I had the photo. my goal next time is to upload the photo and be less nervous.

Alyssa - 1 year ago

I had a fun time doing this project, it was great learning how to make transitions and how to use my own audio for this project, I think one struggle for me was because of how long I made this video, and the time I was given with other priorities had, I didn't get to do some other things that I wanted to do because it was more about turning in the project, so time management on the project overall would be something I take into the next project I do.

Edgar - 1 year ago

Some struggles I had was coming up the text I would be going to say in the video. the same goes for the time type of font, music, and short video it would play behind the text. A great moment I had was when I got a little more better at putting transitions in the videos for it to look better instead of cuts, which would not look so great when watching the video. A big take away I had from filming this origin story was at the end, when I watched it like if it was my first time watching it. I really liked how it all turned out in the end from the music to the text that was being shown. lastly, 2 goals I have for myself is to get better at getting into detail and to make the videos a lot more interesting.

Allison - 1 year ago

For my pre-production, it was a bit difficult because I had to figure out what the video was going to be about, writing a script, etc. Once I got started on the production, it wasn't easy figuring everything out, but once I did, everything just fell into place. Wrapping it up wasn't too difficult, I just had to add a few special effects and conclude it.

Luke O - 1 year ago

creating my origin story started with my pre production in which I planned out what I needed to do and then I made a script for my video and I made sure my script hit all the checkmarks for my story and was also entertaining. then I made sure I had all my pictures to really illustrate the story. then i edited everything together to make sure it was good.

James S - 1 year ago

I had a good time making the video, it was very fun to record and planning out every scene before recording it. I liked making the video because I was basically just messing around with my friend and we were planning and changing things as we went. Editing was also pretty fun since you can add whatever you want to it. One thing I could've done better is record the whole thing in horizontally instead of vertically. There wasn't too many struggles other than having to use objects around us like we had to use a chair to hold the camera in one scene. But I took away that it was a very fun experience and a goal I have moving forward is to maybe make the video a little more professional and coordinated.

Alex - 1 year ago

With this project, it did make me have to think about my life and why I do the things I do despite fears and doubts from myself and others. The film was also procrastinated by accident as there was little time during the week of filming. But when I did film, the ideas came rushing in such as the two shot or the shot of me doing stuff on my computer. Editing was also fun though of course I have my gripes on WeVideo but it's all I could use. Fun project, can't wait for the next!

Maribel - 1 year ago

Producing my Origin Story was interesting and challenging, there were some roadblocks in my way. A struggle that had me thinking for a while was trying to figure out what weren't some so obvious things that make me me. I didn't even know how to start my script or if I wanted to have my face in the video. At first I used part of my script and recorded me talking about it, I felt like it was good but couldn't figure out how to get the video from my phone to the computer. A big take away that I found from this is I feel as if I can't have good ideas if I put them the right way and didn't procrastinate. A goal im making for myself for my next video is always improving, for example in this video I didn't show my face nor do a voice over I can improve by doing those in my next video.

Diamon - 1 year ago

my reflection on when I was producing my origin story is when I first started to make it I really struggled on the project. I struggled the most with how to start and how to put it all together to really make the person watching understand but as I went on I started to understand how to do it more. This project really helped me get an deo of the type of editing I like to do.

Isaac - 1 year ago

My experience making my origin story it was pretty difficult because I don't do stuff like that and its not in my interest but it was pretty interesting making it. The pre-production was okay but it wasn't that fun and the production was pretty smooth with the re production. and that's why I would say it was a pretty good project from reproduction to the wrap up. the only struggle I had was editing because I'm not a good editor and this was the first time I did this. My goal for next time is maybe get a little more help and understand the project more and what its asking.

Beau - 1 year ago

My dream was to become a "Voice Actor" I wanted to started that journey when I was like 10, I didn't had the talent and it took a lot of practice to realize how hard it is to make your own voice impression. It's not about the talking or anything. Its about bringing characters to life. How would their personality would look like, what's their appearance look like and of course what do they sound like. Becoming a voice is not easy. If you wanna like work with Disney or something. You have to bring there attention. At the age of 14 I was able to do a voice impression name Donald Duck. My first voice character but obviously I wasn't the first one to created but I got good at it and started practicing by saying some words and putting it into a sentence. At the age of 14, I said to myself. "If I can do Donald Duck, I can do other voices." Indeed I was able to do other voices, not a lot but they are pretty good. As I continue doing other impression I got good at it. So I think my journey becoming a voice actor will work out pretty well. I hope.

Liam - 1 year ago

Making and creating this origin story was awesome because it taught me how to make a story about myself and edit clips. It also helped me reflect on the story that I had created and the journey to get here.

Kloey - 1 year ago

i think creating my origin story was a fun prosses. i liked getting able to go and look at old videos and pictures to find ones for the project and being able to make a class project about somthing i am passionate about

Alec - 1 year ago

The origin story project was fun to make but I didn't realize that if I record vertically then the clips will have a lot of black space on both sides. So my biggest take away is to next time record horizontally.

Karen - 1 year ago

My experience for the Origin Story video project was pretty overwhelming for me because it started when I was doing the brainstorm I really didn't know what to write about but then I got more looser and knew either way this is my Video so shouldn't really matter and then I finished it quite late because I was sick for a few days and then when I came back I had to do the brainstorm ,Pre production, and then The actually Origin Story so when I am still working on pre-production I actually got stuck but then I stopped thinking I was gonna be embarrassed to do my video but I know this weekend I am gonna do my Origin Story Project and then some take always was i hate being on camera but also i wanted people to see who they were talking to and then I had a tough time thinking about what I was gonna think about and what if i don't say the stuff I wanted to say but that's all my Experience for my Origin Story Project

Rocco - 1 year ago

my experience on making this video was fun because the post production was fun coming up with ideas with friends and committing those ideas and one of my being take aways is that we should worked at a better pace

Wyatt - 1 year ago

One take-aways is that even if its hard you need to keep going. A struggle I had while making The origin story was not knowing if it would be good or not

Cara - 1 year ago

I really enjoyed this unit of digging deep into my past and finding the root of my passion. I like how the process is structured and it helps me learn about myself and take time doing it as well. From Pre-production I thought I was going to do something completely different from what a produced. This can happen sometimes things change that is the whole thing in the creative process. I had a lot of fun with making this project cant wait for the next one.

Talino - 1 year ago

During my experience, it was tough to get my family pictures and stuff to my school account because of some dumb security issue even though everyone else can send stuff, i cant. Anyways, i had to change my initial idea to work with what i got.

Owen - 1 year ago

I had a lot of fun being able to make it about something I was interested in. The hard part is the speaking, but I enjoyed sharing my work about something i care about.

Gianna - 1 year ago

As starting this project I wasn't very confident in my self because it looked hard to do, but as I kept working through it I started to like talking about me and my family. The experience was a little difficult because I had to make a voice memo and I don't really like listening to my own voice but as I made it I had to get old photos to make it match up to what I was talking about and I thought that was cool to do. Lastly, working on this project can be difficult but it was something good to do because you can learn new things and always put your mind to what you want to talk about.

Alan - 1 year ago

It helped me understand what really happens behind the scenes and how much work really goes into making a film like all the crew that's required. But it was an overall fun and cool experience and glad i can do it.

Lyric - 1 year ago

For me the origin story looked hard and was intimidating so I was nervous, but once I started brainstorming and started preproduction I was less scared. I worked hard on my idea making the wording sound nice and for everything to come together well. it was fun even though I'm not done i am still excited to finish and see how well my hard work pays off.

Flor - 1 year ago

My origin story so far isn't going so well cause I've missed school for about 2 weeks so I haven't really started it, but I'm already planning it and already have a few ideas in my head. I feel like a struggle that I will end up having is probably finding and requiring the videos for the project but other wise I hope that it goes smoothly and it ends up being easy. Also the origin story drafts and like all the questions to plan the origin story were actually fun so I hope actually making the video ends up being fun.

Luke S - 1 year ago

This origin story was really enlightening for me. I never really took the time to look back at my previous years playing and how much I've improved. Listening to my parents and teammates talk about what it was like was interesting because I never talked to them about it before. A struggle I had was figuring out the order I wanted to go in, whether it was from the beginning or working my way back. What made it really easy were all the videos my dad has taken of me playing, I had at least 50 videos to choose from.

It was a little difficult to find ideas but I was able to look up some ideas but then edit to how I would want it. I was able to get the hang of this project later into the assignment, at first I was over thinking but then I started to edit it and then it all came along. I learned that It will take time to make something decent and It will take a lot longer to make something unbelievable. A goal moving forward is to not take time trying to do a project, try and get it done as fast as possible so you have nothing to worry about later on.

It was relatively easy and fun to make. I like to chop up clips so it was fun. One thing I struggled with was my microphone, the Apple earbuds aren't that good but it was better than nothing. In conclusion, it was fun to make and it was refreshing to talk about something that I was passionate about.

Erica - 1 year ago

My origin project was fine. The worst part was narrating. The best part was finding pictures and videos for it.

Nyah - 1 year ago

I'm not quite finished editing my origin story project yet and one of the main things that has prevented me from completing this project is editing. It has been hard trying to figure out which device I should edit on because the big computers we usually use don't play the audio from my clips. I have found a solution, but am still procrastinating with my process. Another thing that was hard for me was filming. Normally, I can talk to myself for hours on end. On camera though, I felt a lot more awkward and embarrassed. Overall, this project has been pretty fun so far despite my irritating struggles with it.

Elliot - 1 year ago

I didn't to talk about myself so I decided to talk about my future self instead. The hardest part was writing the script and after recording the voiceover at 2 a.m. it was super fast. However I dont really like creating projects by myself.

Tiff - 1 year ago

first of all I started thinking about what I wanted to put imagines of people who identified me because i count put photos like mine or that i even expressed what I wanted to do and what I did

Brenden - 1 year ago

my experience has been good, it's been easy for the most part because I was always on top of it from when I joined the class till now, I always made sure I was work first play later. The things that went into pre production were just thinking really about my life and experiences and how much I wanted to share. Once I figured that out production was probably the hardest part because I had to remember to do my voice over, but ultimately I chose to use text because it was easier and more my style. Wrapping it up was the easiest because it was just sound effects and random stuff that made it better. Some goals I would hope for if we did something like this again would be me being more on it, because I think I could've been done in two days but it took me 4-5. Another one is I wish I did a little more to make it more enjoyable with the extra days I did have.

Jimmy - 1 year ago

I big part of this project was figuring out, truly what my biggest fears were and why I have those. I only did the script so far, so I didn't have any learning moments from filming. I really took a deep dive into my past, my memories. I was able to connect my biggest fears to certain moments in time where I felt like I had to do something, or make something think of me a certain way in order to be accepted. I hadn't been able to do that before so that was a big think for me.
A goal for me would be to not just write about my fears and move on as if I hadn't just recognized extremely important things about myself. I really hope I can gather the strength to take on my fears, or perhaps just be okay with them. Accept them.

Gavin - 1 year ago

My experiences on the project were good. At first, I had lower expectations for me and thought I wasn't going to do as good. But I ended up understanding We video which helped a lot. Some struggles I had was with what I was going to write in my video. Some of my strengths were finding the images, text, and music. All in all, I found the project fun and relatively easy.

Leyla - 1 year ago

Creating my Orgin Story made me think more deeper about my past and everything I went through. I didn't really have any struggles making my video because I used WeVideo a lot before. For moving forward I want to keep continuing what I'm doing and to be a better version of myself everyday.

Nicky - 1 year ago

When I made the origin story video project, I had marked down a bunch of ideas in the Pre-Production, and found the best one possible. Afterwards, I planned on doing a camera recording and a voice-over so I could switch between the two, but I had procrastinated until it were Wednesday, I think. I had recorded it at home, and in the camera footage, I made sure to be expressive with my hands to convey my meaning better. It had taken a few days, but I had finished editing it in WeVideo, and while I was editing, I would get a peer review of each segment, and if there was a problem there, I would fix it and ask them if they could check it. I had gotten an idea where, if I wanted to express an extra detail, I would add a little note on the bottom for the viewer to see during the video, so I had done so, and another idea I had was to switch between camera and voice-over between segments. I think a good idea I could take away from this project is to try and get the material for the video sooner next time, rather than procrastinating.

Joshua - 1 year ago

My experience creating the origin story was way easier than I thought. After creating the 1 shot and multi shots, WeVideo was really easy to edit on. The pre-production took longer than making the actual video. After writing my script I started to put it in WeVideo and I almost finished the whole project in 45 minutes. The next day, I finished it up, but I learned a few more tricks to help with my next video to help. I know where to find tools better which will help me do it even faster in the future. My goal for next time is to try and use the tools I haven't used yet so I get more familiar with WeVideo.

Sean - 1 year ago

At first I was overwhelmed and did not know where to start but I slowly eased into production. The problem I had most was memorizing my script. After I got done with the first half I started to get more comfortable with WeVideo and how to navigate it. A goal moving forward is too not procrastinate especially on projects like this.

Jason - 1 year ago

It was hard to find a background picture for the text to show up on but I found one, writing the script was kind of hard and writing it in wevideo was kind of annoying because I had to split it up into little parts, the voice over isn't the best I know a part got cut off kind of, I was debating showing the pictures of myself but I still did it (it's fine right? just don't present it in front of the class) I used a couple sound effects, I found a good font and had my background picture and I got to work, when I added the voiceover I kind of had to tweak the duration of some of the text so that it was like I was reading it.

Chase - 1 year ago

It was a pretty easy process, as most of my time was spent at Home editing the footage my sister captured. My main struggle was finding motivation to edit, rather than play video games or watch wrestling. Filming was easy, with my sister coming up with a majority of the really good angles. overall, it was really fun, though I ended up procrastinating a lot more than I would have wanted.

Rey - 1 year ago

Starting this class was fun, getting used to filming and editing and getting ready for this big origin story project was fun through the ways. the pre production for the origin story used my brain to its almost full potential. it made me brainstorm a lot and what I was gonna do for the main project. the main project was very easy, I honestly have no clue why it took me so long to finish it. I honestly just didn't wanna work but I ended up getting it done the night before I had to turn it in. I am excited for the future of this class and what's to come with it. I ready for every challenge along the way, I can do this!!!!

Veronica - 1 year ago

The project itself was pretty fun to do. At first I thought I won't be able to do it or won't know what to do. After a little I figured out I wanted to do. all though I changed my mind about the topic multiple times throughout the time. I thought I would do on camera speaking but decided a voiceover would be way better for me. Something I was struggling with is the fact that I was stuck on what images I should add or how to make the project better. My goal my goal next time would be to do my project better and to actually have more ideas. Even though I struggles with it I still competed the project and had fun with it.

TJ - 1 year ago

To start off, I did the iceberg assignments which helped me figure out what I wanted to focus my origin story on. After I finished the iceberg assignments, in the bottom of the second assignment I wrote my whole script that I was gonna voice over later. After writing it and deciding it would be about my love for basketball, I went straight to we video. First thing I did on we video was read the script and pick out stock footage for my origin story, then I found stock audio to use for the background. At home one night at 11:00 PM I remembered to do my voiceover, so I ended up doing it then and uploading it to my google drive, after uploading it, I edited all of the clips to mesh with my voice over, finally after all of the editing, I ended up finishing it and it turned out really good, I liked the result a lot in the end.

Gurveer - 1 year ago

It was difficult at first with coming up with ideas to film about. The guiding questions really helped me come up with ideas on what to film on. A goal I have going forward is to edit my video more and use a better microphone.

Connor - 1 year ago

It was rough. I had a lot of stuff I had to do that stopped me from being able to do any recording, and I was very anxious the whole time. For my next video, I'd like to not procrastinate and to actually have it finished on time.

Chris - 1 year ago

Making my origin story was kind of a challenge, for example I was unable to decide what I was going to pick for my idea .My idea was very nerdy but it was a last minute idea. Making the footage was even worse. my sister had to record on a Ipad as big as her head. We3 had to film at almost 1 in the morning because he whole house was so loud and we had to wait till everyone was asleep to begin filming. She would also move a lot so I had to cut the clip about 3 times. the editing was the easiest part which I just used the wevideo clips. I watched some YouTube videos about my idea because I was kind of confused what to write and that helped a lot because I was able to write it all down.

Sodabah - 1 year ago

I learned a lot from the origin story video. It was hard, but I figured it out. I got better at working with others and editing. Next time, I want to get even better at editing and telling stories.

Camila - 1 year ago

Starting my origin story project was a bit hard in the beginning. My life isn't very interesting so I didn't know what to write about, but instead of choosing something that was interesting I chose something I was proud of. I chose to talk about my personal and academic growth, I knew I wanted my video to show how much one can grow if they really try and how important it is that you make choices that are good for you. I talked about my experience, and how I moved on to be better. After finishing this project and playing my video back it made me even more motivated to keep on going, and that is what I will continue doing.

Christian - 1 year ago

I didn't complete the origin story i dont know why i was doing it but just thinking about me sharing out a story i haven't really told any body only a few people and and i was going through as a kid and my family as well it just got to me i just started thinking about all that and i didn't like it but i did learn stuff had fun editing my videos controlling the music and making it fade away and stuff the video intro and out-tro finding good music that fits it.I struggled with the music a lot i couldn't really find good pieces of music for my video and struggled with what i had. A goal i have moving forward is stop procrastinating and do the work also just be more out there who cares if they know my story start expressing myself more.

Thomas - 1 year ago

Creating my origin story was very fun and exciting for many reasons. Number 1, Mr. Hanks is asking us to complete a task that asks us to dive deep into ourselves, not just the tip of the iceberg. Number 2, it's all about you and your experiences, it's nice to be able to talk and explore the different interactions I have made throughout my life. Additionally, the Pre-Production segment was definitely the most challenging aspect of the project, but with the help of the outlines, brainstorming and different elements of art we learned throughout these first 5 weeks it made it so much easier and also enjoyable at the same time.

Samuel - 1 year ago

I Had am amazing time creating my film. I was able to take the things I love and put them out into the world. Hanks gave us a topic, and let us decide how to use it. It was am experience I will use to better myself.

Ryder - 1 year ago

My experience creating this project was that it had it highs and lows. what I mean by this id that some moments I didn't know if I should do text or voiceover.in my pre-production I said I would do a voice over but instead I did text. Some big takeaways I had from this is that you should take your time when figuring out what you are gonna do when it comes to talking about your project. What I mean by this is that if you say your gonna do voice over and then don't how your gonna do it or don't have a script then its gonna take more time and be harder which is why you should use only one of them start to finish.

Will - 1 year ago

During the creation of my origin story I decided to plan my whole thing about soccer and how it affected my life. Once I got the plans and the general idea of what I was gonna do, I decided to procrastinate because I thought it was going to be easy. After like the third day, I decided to finally add some images to the project. It wasn't until the last day when I decided to put all the other important stuff like the text and audio until I was finally finished with my origin story.

Lawrence - 1 year ago

For my PreProduction it all started with a dream i had. I put it into reality with the movie. Once i finished that, i struggled on making a video with my family. So i had to compromise. And put images and narrate them. It was a struggle even more, because i had to do everything after the deadline ended. But the images and narration were a success. I made sure they were relevant and my voice was good. I was super excited when i realized i can put the images on google into the Wevideo. My goal is to make sure to make a plan with my family beforehand, so it will be way better. And more action and visual than voice art.

Alizeya - 1 year ago

My experience with my Origin Story was overall a new experience. When I first started the project I honestly had no clue what I was going to do and I went through the whole thinking process wondering what has impacted my life the most? Then it clicked, I knew I was going to write about the loss of someone who held such an impact on my life that when they passed away life almost felt empty or unreal. When it came to the creating process of the video it was almost hard for me. Having to bring those sad memories back to remembrance and having to express it to others felt like it all just happened yesterday. While creating the video I had gotten about a little more than half way through and realized that I hated it. I deleted the entire thing and restarted from scratch with only 2 days to do it. With those two days I was in a real time crunch but somehow managed to make it happen. With my video I want to spread awareness of the things that other people might be going through that you may not know about and I feel I did good with expressing that and sharing how that one experience changed the rest of my life.

Erick - 1 year ago

Many thoughts came to mind at first when creating this Origin Story, but after lots of thinking, I came to a conclusion, and I thought it was the best one yet, but before I choose the one I used for my origin story I was thinking about making one for my sister, but it didn't really make sense to me because although she is a big part of my life, but she didn't do as much as my mother in terms of my life. After I started to make a Origin Story about my Mom because she is one of the most important people in my Life, and after I was done, I thought to myself, I'm gonna show my Mom this sense she is one of the most important people in my life.

Savina - 1 year ago

At first, I really had no idea because I couldn't really think of a major event in my life, so it took me awhile to figure it out. I brainstormed the idea to talk about self-image since I remembered how different I looked from my family, so the preproduction was set. I know I wanted to share, my experiences with my struggle of self-image but I also wanted to put in a message whereas "Everyone is Beautiful." During production I had a hard time finding stock videos that I could relate to, so it took a bit of time, especially at the very end with all the different looking people, to show that there are beautiful people out in the world.

Jack - 1 year ago

The Pre-Production had me really thinking with the questions it was asking. Since its questions were so deep I was asking myself questions on how to answer it. The Pre-production was pretty easy besides from that. The hard part for the production was trying to do a voiceover I stuttered sometimes, forgot what I was going to say then I would have to redo it from the beginning. The easy part of the production was putting in background music because I found a music that fits pretty fast so I just threw that music in made it quieter and I was done with the background music

Jonas - 1 year ago

A struggle I had was finding the motivation to do the video. I also didn't have many videos of myself to begin with. A big take-away was finding videos to use, and a goal of mine is to get the video done faster. And for last, a final goal I have is to make the video more polished.

Isaiah M - 1 year ago

In the creation of this little story, I was wondering how I could be able to translate myself into something like this project. But after some pre-production thinking, I eventually decided on the theme that I would go on to use throughout the video. During production, I was hard at work making sure that I got in the right elements I needed and some cool yet sensible transitions in it, I did the voice over during the weekend and to wrap up, I finished the rest off it on Tuesday. I have taken away the fact that I have relearned a lot about myself once again, and also would make me set out into making more amazing projects in the future!

Johnny - 1 year ago

I made My Origin Story Video From Begging to End and also I Really liked the 1 story that I putted in my Video Project is Maybe when me and my Friend Daniel We Were singing Bad boys Bad boys Whatcha gonna do Whatcha Gonna do When They Come for you and also I Liked the other video that I putted in my video Project Like They Were Singing happy birthday To me and also I Had a great time doing a birthday Party at My Place and It was Fire and also I putted some Pictures and videos of Myself that what I've been Doing something fun in my Life 2023-2024-2025 Those were the best year of my Life that I Did Something fun For myself and I Think its Pretty Much It Thank you.

Nasir - 1 year ago

Reflecting back on my origin story video project I instantly remember how hard it was for me in pre-production to finally begin. This made me feel discouraged in the beginning since I was brainstorming ideas over and over. Although I ended up finally getting a central idea t make my video around, finding time for it was really a hassle for me which also made it 10x harder. All in all moving forward on my next project I'll know to set some time away from everything else to make sure I do my best work.

Seth - 1 year ago

Creating my Origin Story was a sweet nostalgia trip for me. It made me reflect on my past self and how I've changed as a person. It was a bit of a struggle to get back into Vegas Pro, its a lot less user friendly, but gives you much more creative freedom. Forums are my goat. I spent a lot of time on this, due to how much I enjoy video editing. I didn't necessarily learn any new editing skills, but I hadn't edited anything in quite some time and that was an experience I really appreciated.

Jhael - 1 year ago

I was not able start the origin story project because I just was not sure about what to talk about. I got help but still I did not know how to talk about it and I get overwhelmed knowing how far behind I was so I kind of just gave up and didn't do it. Moving forward I will try my best to start brainstorming early about the prompt for the next video we have to do.

Sylvia - 1 year ago

I think production went well. I liked talking about my interests and things that made me, me. I was able to talk about things I liked, my hobbies, and even go on about my interests. Brainstorming was super easy, as I was able to quickly form ideas for my project. Some challenged were video length, image gathering, and finishing on time. My project was a little longer, over 5 minutes. I had to do a lot of inserting images for the look I wanted, and it was a struggle while also trying to finish it on time. Most images I wanted were on blocked websites, so I had to upload tons and tons of images, which was super time consuming and boring. My voiceover was kind of wonky. as I talk fast (uncontrollable) so some of my words were slurred and I had pauses in my speaking. However, I spent a good amount of time on my project (it was submitted late) and I got the look I wanted. I would've added more, but I wouldn't be able to finish it in time with progress reports. In the end, I actually do like how it turned out, because I did express myself creatively, and I was able to talk about things I liked.

Isaiah W - 1 year ago

My Pre-production was a mess, I made a story and had an outline down, but then I decided to change my story, as the original was too recent and didn't span my whole life. I decided to make an origin story on traveling because I have travelled plenty and other members of my family have been to places way crazier than me. So, I asked my mom for help finding old photos of me on vacation or travelling around for the weekend or a day trip, and compiled those together. I also got some photos from her solo travels around Europe and the countries in it. But, after getting all of these images and knowing what I want my story to be about, I was struggling with how to get that into a video. Now, I've finally decided to just talk on camera and add images in the foreground or in front of the entire screen, so I can show the locations and the souvenirs from them, like shot glasses or random "junk" we got while out there. Overall, it wasn't hard to plan out my process, it was hard to find the best way to implement it.

Asill - 1 year ago

Making my origin story from beginning to end was nice as it showed me and even though I had known the problem I had been facing for a while now, this project made me search them things up because it piqued my interest on how if my bad sleeping habits were really affecting me that much, and after doing some research I realized that it really unfortunately did affect my life,(basically my whole life and my mood, and just my interactions with other people) and through this realization I've been trying my best to go to sleep as soon as I can to help better myself in every aspect of my life. And its really all thanks to this project being an eye opener for me.

I completed my Pre-Production in time and had a good plan going into the filming. I missed a few days, which caused me to fall behind on filming. I caught up once I got back and I put my clips together and I'm happy with my end product.

Gersham - 8 months ago

Making my own origin story project was simple but complex all at the same time. The brainstorming was the hardest because it was a topic that I haven't thought deeply about. The production and post wasn't so difficult, it only forced me to learn the software. I learned it and it wasn't so hard, it was easy for me to decide what shots I wanted to have, and it all flowed at a good paste.

Nico - 8 months ago

It took me a while to figure out what I was gonna do during my brainstorn and pre-production phase.Once I figured it out the production went pretty smooth. Also recording ur voice rather than doing text over screen is much better and smoother for the video. Once I had my ideas set the video itself wasn't very hard.

Gerardo Rivera - 8 months ago

While making my origin story from beginning to end I went through the brainstorm easily but struggled with importing photos and videos into wevideo which took a decent amount of time. I also didn't know if I wanted to do captions for my video or a voice over which also delayed me a lot. Overall I liked this project because it gave me a chance to see where I am in terms of my sport.

Leonardo Cadenas - 8 months ago

The development of my video origin story has definitely not been a linear path. Pre production and brainstorming has been a breeze for me, but where I start to struggle is the actual production. Reading from a script makes me laugh or makes me want to improvise, and when I do that, I usually just ruin the whole take. I feel what I can learn the most from this is dial down my production skills, and maybe learn to live with my interruptions or learn some improv or something.

Maddie Uy - 8 months ago

While in the creative process I realized it wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. The idea and concept were very clear to me, yet I struggled with actually trying to execute my ideas. Once I found my groove It was super easy! My 'A-ha!' moment was when I dug deeper into my background and tried to understand why I wanted to do this! Now, I am close to being finished, I just need to add some finishing touches, and revise it some more. It was a super fun process and can't wait for other screen 1 students to experience this as well!

miguwl - 8 months ago

My pre production for my origin story was pretty bad because I was just on my phone all the time and didn't do my work but at the end of the day, I did eventually do my video two days after it was due. It was pretty easy it just did take some time out of my day. One takeaway would be to be on top of my work and finish my assigned assignments before the due date. One challenge was I couldn't really do my video after school because I had practice and I would pretty tired and during school I was just on my phone.

Eli - 8 months ago

I struggled with finding a topic to talk about at first but I finally figured it out and It was pretty easy from there. While making my origin story, I was able to reflect back on my life and see how far I've come. Moving forward, I want to learn more skills that will help with the story telling to make it more engaging.

Dillon - 8 months ago

Making my origin story was a very long process it took a lot of class time but ultimately I was proud of my final results. At first I didn't really know what to write about but I ended up writing about my story with basketball. I had a good idea of what I wanted my project to look like but after I completed it I realized I went very off script which was okay because it still turned out good. When I filmed my story it took a while but it was very fun.

Leium - 8 months ago

the origin story project is pretty hard, the hardest part is finding the footage to use for idea of the video. The only thing that was kind of easy was the writing.

Maurice - 8 months ago

Although I am not finished with my project due to the amount of animating I still have left I will still talk about the process so far. I had plenty of ideas and ways I wanted to fit everything I have done into one singular video and I pretty much have been able to at least put a little of it. I wanted to put a lot into it but decided I would just do my animations, art, and voice overs. When I finish making the project I know I will definitely be glad I did it and look back at it as well.

Sampson Trujillo - 8 months ago

Hello my name is Sam and with my origin story I didn't know what it wanted to do it on at first, my first idea was to do it about my journey in baseball but after thinking i decided to do it on my journey in the gym so i got to talk about where i started from and to know how far my progress has came and that's my project blog thank you for reading.

firdaws - 8 months ago

i didnt like the origin story as much as the other ones but i liked producing it hardest part for me was matching up the audio to the video also the origin story made me think of things i havent thought about in many years so i liked that part it was hard to get all the photos i needed so i just used stock footage my biggest takeaway is that i need to think about my past more

Cash Z. - 8 months ago

I had some fun making this video. It was hard to think of what to do and all that, but once that was over with it was smooth sailing. Editing was fun because I could do whatever I felt would help elevate the video. Filming was not as good because I dislike being on camera.

Marcus C - 8 months ago

I am nearly finished with my origin story at the time of writing this. I have been trying to catch up nearly the whole time as I was stuck on my pre-production. I couldn't think of an idea I wanted to use, but I eventually came around to one. I now think what was chosen was my best idea but I did struggle a bit because I wanted to do a voiceover but I could not get it to line up with my stock footage. It's taken many tries but all I need are some finishing touches and I'll have completed my origin story.

Hudson - 8 months ago

The making of my origin story was a little rushed at first, but now it's starting to look exactly like how I wanted it to. I'm implementing vfx (Rotoscoping, animation, etc.) so that took a little bit of time to do, but after I applied the basic effects, it gave me motivation to put in the hard work because if the beginning of the outcome is already looking good, then the final product will look even better. I'm really proud of what I have so far, and I can't wait to finish it

Andrew D - 8 months ago

Making my origin was pretty easy I could just used my drawing skills but the theme and music was little hard to choose because I didn't know if it suit my Project right then I was finding background music and then what to add to the project then my family members gave me some ideas, then the editing became a little problem but I made it work after watching my project I made peak in my opinion.

Yosef - 8 months ago

Making my origin story started from me just thinking about what in my life I could make a video about. The process was very fun getting to edit and voice over a video myself. A big takeaway was that I should have recorded the voice over a few more times instead of using the first one because I was talking a little too fast.

Chris Wilson - 8 months ago

The video was fun to make, but I need to improve on narrating.

Andrew F - 8 months ago

as I was making my blog I had thought of many different ways of producing it. was it going to be whole non fiction or fiction and i chose to tell real things of my origins because origins are what makes people who they are. my stories and other peoples stories show people what kind of humans are, like an open book you can read. and thats it thanks

When I first started this project, it was a big moment because I was going to talk about something that I haven't talked about it publicly, but, it was really helpful to get that out. It was very easy to gather the footage but the difficult part was to edit all of the video and get the right songs, I'd like to put more effort on the next project doing an actual voice over.

I had a fun time creating my story, even though the story I shared wasn't the happiest.
I'm hoping someone sees it and understands what its like to go through something like that.

I feel like my experience creating the origin was good I feel that I could've added more effort into it but I think that I did good overall, one thing I probably struggled with was trying to come up with what I was gonna write about but I did have fun editing the video.

My origin story was really fun to make. It was fun figuring out new features in we video and using them. I learned a lot off of this one project. One goal is to make a bigger and better video for the next project.

I am still working on my Origin story, but I enjoyed brainstorming on what I want to execute and how I execute it.

I think the project went okay because it turned out alright at the end even though it wasn't perfect. I also think the hardest part of the project was thinking of my bravest moment in life. Late in the game I remembered the swimming part which I later included in he beginning but was too late to go back into the Brainstorm and change it. Although it wasn't perfect It still got done.

My video was pretty good, I though that it would be more difficult and that it would take me at least a week. But it just take me like two classes for me this was important because I could o more things. I also like it because it make me remember experiences that I forgot and now I can remember them again.

I had a decent experience creating my origin story because I didn't know how to start it off, it helped me to think about the thing I love most which is soccer and that is how I got started. When I started production it was kind of easy but at the same thing kind of difficult, it was easy to find clips and text but it was difficult to edit them all together and getting it all "perfect". I still haven't finished it but so far it's been coming out good. Some things that found out that make it 10x easier is when it comes to the music, try to keep yourself from getting distracted because if you get distracted you will mess up the volume and you'll have to restart the whole process.

My origin story project was very fun. In my pre-production, I had to think way back to the past to write down memories. I knew what my story was going to be about so that was easy but the hard part was picking only 3 things. In my production it was not hard to edit my clips and pictures. A funny moment was when I was almost done with my video but my voice over sounded like it was a voice speaking in your brain. I really loved working on this project.

I had fun making my Origin Story project. I got to talk about a life experience. I made my script with memories I remember. I think the hard part was putting it into the video. I didn't know how i was going to edit everything with back round, sound and images. But I made my video work.

i enjoyed creating my Origin story. It was fun explaining my Origin story and expressing it through a video. I also appreciate Mr Hanks for helping me. I think i should practice on my editing a little more but other than that i enjoyed it.

Making my origin story project started from me thinking about who has been there for me in the past. It didn't take me that long to think about a specific subject. The only person I could think about is my mom being there for me. Overall, I had a fun time looking back at pictures and editing them and it just and me thinking of how grateful I am to have my mother in my life.

I liked doing my origin story a little bit because I like to edit and I think that having to find clips and make stuff look good in my video makes it fun. I also still need to work on getting better at finishing editing faster because that is one thing I struggled with. So one goal for me is to be able to finish my work quicker.

i had a every good experience in the first unit of begining video produce i now know all differnet types of elements of art and how to do a lot of cool stuff on wevideo my fav part of this class is making our shot flims

Ayden - 1 month ago

I actually liked creating my origin story more than I had thought. When I had first looked at writing the script I just didn't know what to do, and so the day before the assignment was due, I just started writing and as it turned out it was much easier than I had thought. I also liked learning about the Elements of Art because a lot of it has changed my perspective of Art itself a bit. The Multi-Shot film was my favorite so far though.
