Video Extra Credit

Extra Credit - Motion Video - 6 points on a test

Come see me before or after class if you're interested in doing this extra credit.
You must get approval from me before you start filming your project.

I am looking for a few people to do some digital videotaping for me. You will be asked to videotape an everyday activity showing some motion. (see below). Later on I will put this videotape online so we can study it in class.

Here are a few examples of some things I'd like to videotape:

A person jumping off a high diving board and simultaneously dropping a basketball.
Skateboarder performing a jump or trick

*** If you have any good ideas of your own let me know
