VOICE OVERS!

This new topic we have just began is about voice recording and its editing!!!
We will begin with a quick summary about voice overs, recordings done for publicity and entertainment in programs, radio...

One of the best voice over recorder is Joe Cipriano, a celebrity in the States. Voice overs consist in voice recording mixed with music and sound effects (horns, alarms etc.). These creations can be a business for persons like Joe Cipriano and Juanma Ortega. You can adquire these recordings with iTunes and most of them are totally free!!!! You can suscribe to their podcast and you wil know when they get new ones out.

AUDIO EDITORS:
I'll talk about some of the principal audio editors in the market:

-AUDACITY: designed fot windows based computers, completely free.
-GARAGE BAND: more advanced but there's a charge to be paid, comes with Apple computers.

MY VIDEO EDITING EXPERIENCE

Now I will proceed to explain how our video editing project began and how it turned out.

The idea of doing a gag was Pedro's and we decided to do it the stupidest way possible. We also decided to imitate Cuatro's "4th Millenium" and to have as our protagonist atypical basque "baserritarra".

The equipment used waas very basic; a mobile phone to record and that's all because Movie Maker would not accept the format. This was our main problem and we failed to solve it. I tried to download a video converter program and failed do so.

That's all I have to say about this project. It was a defficient work which I hope to never repeat.....

My 2010 Summer Vacations

This past summer has been probably the shortest of all my life. That's how it seemed. I mean, when I realized I was already approaching my last school year I had to try to enjoy my time. To do this I began my vacations with a basketball camp near the ski station of Baqueira where I improved my skills and had a good time with some new friends I made.

Later on in the summer I had some relax time in my house after the exhausting New York trip and the basket camp. When I had my energy back, and my parents got vacations, we went to Santander with all of my family I usually don't see because of the great distances that separate us. Last but not least I moved to Biarritz with some friends and enjoyed the waves and the beach.

In general I enjoyed my break time and had time to practice my hobbies with all the time of the world in my hands. I had spare time to play tennis, ping pong, padel and even have energy to go out. Even though I had fun I really missed some more days of relax to assimilate the change of rutine that school provokes.

Even though, I think I enjoyed my vacations and disconnected from the school rutine. Maybe I disconnected too much as I have forgotten all about my subjects. This is a real pitty because it makes me give more of me in the first days of school and really makes me ansious. I know this is not interesting but I'm trying desperetly to get some world written and my grade up in technology. I hope my effort has some recognition and my bad start in my technology class gets solved with this piece of fine writing. Just in case this is not enough I will also tell you that this summer was very emotionant because Real Madrid made some new incorporations and the most important, Jose Mourihno, is a great coach that will surely bring trophies to Real Madrid's vitrines!

This was all I did out of Bilbao and enjoyed my stays everywhere I went....

MARIA AMELIA'S BLOG

The text I have just read in El Pais is quite interesting and it talks about Maria Amelia, a already dead woman who with 95 years begun in the world of blogs. I would like to remark the text's main message which I think is "old people still have many things to say, to sum to society and blogs are good ways for them to express themselves, make new friends and enjoy their free time". I totally agree with these statements throughout the text and I'm in favor of showing new technologies to old citizens.
