Andrew Salimian- City College<\/p>\n
I like the project, \u201cIndian Burial Grounds Under Lincoln Center?\u201d\u00a0 Although I was disappointed that they could not find any evidence, I found the topic\u00a0 very interesting.\u00a0 Also, since Lincoln Center is so close to the Macaulay building, I found the topic somewhat \u201cclose to home.\u201d\u00a0 What this group did well was post a complete video with a fair deal of editing done.<\/p>\n
I also liked the project, \u201cCUNY Timeline,\u201d because it utilized web tools. In this case, the tool that was used was Dipity.\u00a0 What I found most interesting about Dipity was the different interfaces that can be used to view the events.\u00a0 I thought the timeline view and the map views were the most important, and I would love to see a timeline with much more data sometime in the future.\u00a0 What I was mad about was that they listed the creation of City College as 1948, the date of its name change and not the date of its founding.<\/p>\n
The post, \u201cThe Battle of the Brews\u201d captured what I feel is an cornerstone of New York culture, coffee.\u00a0 In recent years, the explosion of Starbucks has led to a coffee shop on what seems to be every corner.\u00a0 If in the movies that take place in New York, there is at least one scene shot of the protagonist in Starbucks or with Starbucks in hand.\u00a0 The video was uploaded as a QuickTime mp4, which I thought was interesting.\u00a0 The video also had a expert degree of video editing and the creators interviewed locals, which is important for our final projects.<\/p>\n
I liked the project, \u201cThe Empire Hotel.\u201d\u00a0 I felt the group took a very classy approach.\u00a0 They managed to get inside a large amount of the hotel and provided a large deal of historical and informational research about the hotel.\u00a0 I noticed that the sound quality is not great on the flip cams, so the group decided to just have captions and display the video set to music.\u00a0 As an architecture student, I liked the juxtaposition in the hotel of what the group said was a modernistic design motif shared with Lincoln center and what appeared to be the original art deco floors.\u00a0 The video was also posted with Vimeo, which seems to be a little more user friendly than YouTube.\u00a0 I will definitely consider using this video format on my website.<\/p>\n
The last project that I would like to mention is the project, \u201cA Walk along Broadway.\u201d This project merged videos edited with iMovie that were posted on YouTube with Google Maps.\u00a0 It was interested to see each video experience in terms of its location.\u00a0 This just added an extra layer of context.\u00a0 I wonder if you could merge these videos with a timeline such as the one in \u201cCUNY Timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
