Recently I have been working on a dance project, researching a dance pioneer and their contribution to the dance world. Part of our project included a presentation that would show the class a representation of the pioneer we were researching. Our teacher surprised us by allowing us to use any medium we desired whether it be art, drawing, baking, dancing, singing, crafting, writing or any other form we wanted. I enjoy these type of assignments because I choose to challenge myself and learn something new. I decided to try out a medium I have never used before, video.
My vision was to have my partner and I choreograph a dance similar to that of our dance pioneer and film it to create a video to present in class. I was blessed to have a roommate who allowed me to borrow her camera to shoot the routine. Another blessing came in the form of my closest friend I had made at BYU. He had mentioned to me before that his hobby was video production and photography. He worked for byutv and was gladly willing to lend his expertise. He taught me how to use a video making program, how to insert music, and how to cut and edit scenes. I am so grateful for this opportunity to expand my horizons and learn a skill that not only will be helpful in the future, but allowed me to bond and have a fun time on this project. Here is just a small clip of the finished product. Please take into account that the style of dance is strange and we are only beginners. Enjoy!
