I actually mocked up one of my ideas.

I had an idea to do a word-of-the-day vocab lesson through film clips or music. I did the latter and put together two examples of what I was imagining. It could be a way to improve your vocabulary and discover new music.

Example 1 here.

Example 2 here.

I would make more, but I used Photoshop to make the graphics and my trial version ran out yesterday. Sad face.

That's fairly awesome. I don't know if it's just my computer, but the second one didn't work properly. I can get you a hold of the products you need should you need them.

That's super cool. The second one speeds through in like a second, but super sweet. You should keep this up.

dave, i wish i could throw my panties at you right now.

I'm glad you all like it. I'm replacing the second video now, don't know what happened to it. It was working fine before. Unfortunately the uploading queue is at least 3 hours long right now, so it will be awhile before it works again.

Eb, I'm interested in your wares. I think I might continue making these since I have nothing better to do.

love your colors. sure you're a planner?

Dave said...

I don't know what I am anymore.

Liz said...

An art planner? I'd say planning director, but that has little to do with color.

Dave said...

The second video should be working now. There's a new link.

i think i'd actually learn words this way and maybe how to spell them too. maybe that last part was pushing it. More word videos please!

usually i just browse through this site and, even when i like something, keep my comments to myself.

this, however, is awesome. very entertaining and informative, in a funny, i'm-learning-vocab-words sort of way. you could make an entire site/video/tv show out of it. shit, sell it to schools.
