Desert Water Color

Water holds itself neutral

Reflecting only what it’s given

InWinter

It channels through ice covered flows

Giving off frigid blue and grey hues

Spring

Brings refreshing cool greens

From deep within ebullient pools

While

In Still Places

With Winds’ brisk nod

It shelters and collect golden pollen pods

In Summer

Streams

Harrassed by suns fierce scowls

Draws back its covers to reveal

Burnt oranges,luscious umber and sienna canyons

Until awakening Monsoons repose

Yet happiest of all in fall

It quietly meanders through Autumn’s brilliant nooks and crannies

Illuminating

Multicultural reds and tans,browns and amber

Only long enough for fleeting rememberances

You will write a script or use one of mine, record it in front of the greenscreen (fabric), and then create a new project in which you combine your video with appropriate background images.

Create script
Record video (shorter clips are best) -don't worry about messing up, that is what editing is for!
Plug camera into computer and open iPhoto (this may be different on your machines)
iPhoto: Export Videos (File menu-->export) as a slideshow and choose large quality, notice where you are saving it
iMovie: Import video

While you wait, look for some appropriate images and these Creative Commons sites. Flickr Storm http://behold.cc/ These will go behind your video; or, use the volcano and Havasupai footage and make a news report.
