Making Videos

Because of the stopping of in person classes due to Omnicron coming to Wuxi, there was a plan for us to do online classes with our kindergarten students until it was learned that government wasn't allowing it.

So now the foreign staff at the kindergarten are making videos. The videos are short so that they can be transferred on the WeChat social media app to parents.

I've learned a few tricks making these videos.  First, music playing in the background make videos seem more professional.  Second, if you are demonstrating how to do something, record the demo video without sound, then speed up the video and finally add the sound.  It looks way professional.  Third, don't let apps extort money from you.  An app on my phone wanted to charge hundreds of some monetary unit to add a music track to the video.  I found a work around.  It took just a little more time.
