So You Think You Can Dance???

Just before the semester break started, my lecturer, Pn Foziah had assigned us to do a video editing task which required us to download the videos of 'So You Think You Can Dance - season 2' show. My group had been assigned to download the 7th episode of the show. In order to download the videos, I had installed Real Player downloader software in my laptop. Many of my friends had suggested me to use this software since it is user-friendly and fast. We managed to download the videos successfully and started working on it. My group members had decided to split the work and working indivudually. Only after that we combined our work.

The first task required us to cut and combine the videos to be in full performance. Meaning that no MC and judges. Just the performance. For the second task, we had to cut the video again and produce new videos with single performance. The last task was to do tutorial based on the process involved in editing the videos.

At first, I was responsible to do the tutorial. I managed to do it on time. However, as Pn Foziah changed her instructions to burn the videos into DVD, I had to take the responsibility to do the work since all of my group members had went back to their hometown. Only me is still in KL. My group members sent their works via internet which took hours for me to download it. I sat in front of my laptop from morning til night for 2 days . I only slept at 4am. huhu..There goes my days..And the worst thing, some of the videos sent by my group members cannot be opened. So I have to redo the work. I had installed many software such as Free FLV converter, Any Video Converter, and Cyberlink PowerDirector to help me in doing the work.Luckily, I managed to complete and assemble all the materials (videos and tutorial) before the dateline and sent it to Izyan (credit to Izyan for her kindness).. Not to forget, thousand of thanks to my fiancee who helped me a lot.


p/s: Whoever interested to get the Ep 7 of So You Think You Can Dance 2, contact me.hahaha..;-p

Life is about Choices...

The Road Not Taken ( Robert Frost)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

In our life, we always have to choose between two or more choices, just like what is stated in the poem. Our life might be changed completely just because of the choices that we made. But does our choice is the right choice?Think about it..
Something to ponder on, do you agree if I said life is about choices?
Watch this!!!

Audio editing...

The audio editing task required me to edit one or more audio files. I'm decided to use 2 songs which are "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Words" by Blue feat Elton John and "Sorry, Blame it on Me" by Akon and combine these songs to produce a new song. I had cut several part of the songs using Easy MP3 Cutter. However, I do not know how to combine them. huhuhu..so sad (I forgot about the Audacity software that my lecturer has suggested). I tried to use Magic Music Editor, but failed. I had no choice but to use Windows Movie Maker software since I cannot open several software that i'd downloaded. It's might be because my laptop is old version (I bought in 2002) so it does not suppport the programmes. When I finished with editing the songs, I've converted it into MP3 format using Free WMA to MP3 Converter.

This is the URL for my edited version of these songs which i named it "Sorry".
