YouTube is currently celebrating their 5th anniversary. It’s crazy to think that a site that receives over 2 billion views a day started only 5 years ago. They have made a video of a short history. And it is fascinating to watch.
I’ve had a YouTube account for almost two years now, and I have really enjoyed making all of the videos, and sharing them. My channel has a combined total of over 10000 views over 33 videos, you can visit my channel here (DACTproductions).
A bunch of people have made videos about their YouTube story, and seeing as it’s such a big event, I couldn’t resist. So below I have included my YouTube story for you all to watch.
I’m really proud of some of the editing techniques that I have used in this video, but I didn’t think through everything that I said fully. Having said that, what you view above is My YouTube Story.
Below is a vox pop that I made recently for Youth Group. The series is called “What Do You Mean?” and is looking at a number of words in the Christian faith that are hard to understand. Other words we have looked at have included justification and atonement.
The vox pop on sin asks two questions
If you would like to use this vox pop for your own group or would like to use the title, please contact me and I’ll get the file to you somehow.
This video is another one in 720p HD. With the ease of use of HD video, most of the videos that I do from now on will be in 720p HD. Longer upload time but will look sweet on your widescreen monitors. If you have any advice for me on how to make my videos better, please do suggest it to me (through contacting me or the comments below).
Have you ever sat in a presentation where they try to show you a video during the presentation, only to move out of the presentation, show you their ugly desktop background and then open a movie file, only to play it in a small window on the screen. Does anyone else find that frustrating or is it just me?
It is really easy these days to embed (put in) a video into your presentation. All you need to do is drag and drop the file and it will open, and when you come to the video in your presentation it will start playing, without any exiting of your presentation.
This will allow for a much more professional presentation and for such a simple trick, it still seems to wow some people.
Last year, Ancon took over Facebook. Tons of people put Ancon pictures as their profile pictures, and this helped create a whole heap of buzz for Ancon, and got lots of people psyched for it. You can read about it here. (And if you don’t know what Ancon is, then read this)
So I thought that I would try to help everyone out, and create a few pics that people can use for their profile pics if they want to.
Below are two square pics, which mean that your thumbnail will also have all of the text. There is also a longer pic which is designed to blend into your Facebook wall, as well as being a good thumbnail. I got the idea for this from this great post.

Below is a screenshot of the profile pic in action on my wall…
Here’s a video that I made with the SWED (Social Work and Education) Committee recently, advertising Ancon (the SUEU’s Annual Conference).
This video was actually made to joke around with the fact that so often when people tell others about Ancon, they don’t actually say anything factual, they just use lots of adjectives to say how good it is. I hope you enjoy it.
O, and register for Ancon.
