I hope this works. Overall, I think its okay, but I definitely learned from doing it. As I said in the previous post, the video is okay, but in some cases, I think I ended the shot a little too early and could have benefitted from longer clips to work with. I also wish it hadn't been so windy or that we could have done the interview inside so that I would have had more to work with there as well. Lastly, the audio quality was definitely affected by the switch to WMV, which I couldn't really do anything about. In the interview, it sounds like her voice is a little shakey, but its from the format change. Anyway, here's the final version.

Campus Event Assignment
Well, now that the video slice is over, I've finally got everything working the right way. IMovie wasn't great with the MPGs either and since I'm not used to Macs, I kept trying with movie maker. If this problem pops up in the future, I think the best converter program is called Prism, not the one that Clint put on the lab computers. Prism is a free download online and it works great. Secondly, although you use some quality, I've found that wmvs work better after converted than avis in movie maker, since the files are smaller.
My campus event assignment is done, I just have to figure out how to load it on blogger, which I'll do later today. For that assignment, I thought the video that I shot was pretty good, but the lighting in some of it wasn't great since it was inside the tennis bubble. Also, since the team had just lost so badly to Duke, the players and coaches weren't available for interviews after the game. If I was a realy working member of the press, I probably could have talked to their media relations representative, because at least the coach should always be available for interview, but I knew I couldn't really push this issue since I was a student. So anyway, I had to settle with an interview of a Maryland student who was in attendance, and we had to do the interview outside, which was another challenge during the VERY windy day. There were a couple of good quotes that I couldn't use because of the wind, which is obviously annoying.
So, later today I'll post the assignment on here and hopefully everything will run smoothly.
