Week 5

Tuesday - February 6th, 2007

- Images from Second life, found a very interesting world where they have loaning ATM machines. Very neat!

- In class, after Pat's overview of Premier I navigated around Premier. I recorded a 10 second clip from SL and imported it into Premier. I did a couple of cutting and editing then experimented with exporting using different compressions.

- For the remaining of the class period I continued working on my model. I'm still in the early stages of creating half of my face, still looking rough, it needs a little bit of more tweeking.
