My teacher gave us an assignment, go out, interview 3 people, ask them a few questions and then we’ll edit them together in class. I checked out a camera from the school lab. I took the camera to work, thinking, I’ll get a few coworkers to interview….

Before I even sit down to record the first interview I realize the camera takes tape, which of course I don’t have lying around. I end up getting too busy to even think about leaving work to get the tape, much less interviewing anyone at this point. So…

That got me thinking..

Why do I have to go out and pick people to ask the questions? Why not just get some people w/a webcam and a Youtube account to answer those interview questions? And I’ll just download and edit together the videos!

Action

That’s where you guys come in, you know, the ones I asked on Twitter yesterday if you had a webcam and a Youtube account? I got a lot of responses, with most saying that they did have a webcam and a Youtube account.

So fire up those webcams and record your responses to these questions:

(yes, I know they are random, there is a method to the madness)

Question #1
What do you think about James Cameron, the director? Did you like his movies? Why? (ex Avatar, Titanic.)

Question #2
What do you think of the blogger Perez Hilton and his rise to fame, is it a deserved fame?

Question #3
What is your most hated movie and why?

Visual How-To

Just in case you aren’t sure how to upload a video to Youtube, I’ve included screen caps below on where the buttons are in the interface. They make it really easy to just record right in the browser!

When You’re Done Recording

Please leave the links to the videos you record in the comments, or DM me on Twitter the link.

I also wanted to say a big Thank You! in advance to those who participate.

I created a list of Twitter users related to the EMAC & ATEC programs at UT Dallas, to see the list, click below:

This list contains, current, former students as well as professors.

If you click on that link you will be able to see then follow all or some of the people on the list after authorizing the Tweepml website to access your account temporarily. If you feel wary about giving out your twitter password you can either manually follow the users in the list, or, you can do it, then change your password.

Think of the list as:

1. Way to keep up with what’s going on w\your fellow students. #artshows #parties
2. Suggestions from former and current students about classes and professors.
3. ….

You fill in the rest of the possibilities in the comments…

Also, if you know of anymore names that should be added to that list, @got80s or post them in the comments.
