My five favorite posts from The 67th Street Project were “CUNY Timeline,” “A Walk Along Broadway,” “Juilliard,” “The Battle of the Brews,” and Lunch and Desert on the West Side of the Town.”
“CUNY Timeline” was a very interesting project, which heavily used many interesting web tools. The use of Dipity was great, with the group being able to show different events using the timeline. The timeline and map views were amazing, and they overall gave a very interesting background about the subject matter using these web tools.
“A Walk Along Broadway” was also a great film that employed use of Google Maps, one of my favorite web tools. I also loved the editing job for the video-aspect of their project. Its amazing how they designed their project so that you can click a specific location and view a video that was specific for that location.
“Julliard” was an interesting video that showed aspects of the Julliard School. The strong use of iMovie was great, with many of the preset themes and sounds being used, and helped smooth the transitions between various shots. The editing job was fantastic. The song in the background kept the viewer interested throughout the video.
“The Battle of the Brews” was amazing because it really explored the topic of coffee in New York. The use of iMovie was once again great, with the editing and transitions all being superb. The video ran smoothly and kept the viewer engaged throughout the presentation. The interviews with New Yorkers were all edited beautifully. Overall this was a great video.
“Lunch and Desert on the West Side of Town” was also an interesting video that made me hungry. It showed a group of students getting cupcakes. The use of iMovie is also evident here, with video editing, songs in the background, and smooth transitions. The sound effects embedded in the video were all used perfectly and helped enhance the video. The introduction to the video was also engaging and pleasurable to watch.
