Group students together in class using this Random Sequence Generator from RANDOM.ORG

Ever needed to organise students into groups randomly to mix things up a little? I just found this random sequence generator to do this. Here are the steps I followed.

  1. Grab a list of all your students in class.
  2. Put them into one column in a spreadsheet.
  3. Use the RANDOM.ORG – Sequence Generator to generate a list of numbers in random order equal to the number of students in your class.
  4. Paste that list into the second column of the spreadsheet and use that column to organise and randomise the list.

Works a treat!

Re-Making & Re-Mixing

Then we could argue that this video uses a mixture of the ‘maker’ & ‘hacker’ philosophy to create something new that in turn has its own beauty but that could not have been created without the original.‘Calder’ Paintings in 3D from Shkelzen Kernaja on Vimeo.

London Day & Night – beautiful compositional exploration shot with Sony A7Rii by Franck Matellini

London Day & Night from matel on Vimeo.

I wanted to make a video of London, a city where I lived a few years ago, and had the chance to go back in January. I wanted to continue exploring the diptych theme and thought day & night could make a nice comparison.

Here is my previous splitscreen work of Paris & NY: vimeo.com/108552265

Shot on a Sony A7Rii and edited with Lightroom, After Effects and Premiere. It was a challenge to shoot in London with a tripod but managed most of the time 🙂

Music by Tony Anderson

Special thanks to Nathalie, Kirki Gini and Mathieu Roy for taking part and helping me with the project.

New Final Cut Pro X 10.3 – Flow Transition to Fix Jump Cuts in Dialogue Edits #fcpx #videoedting

If you are creating video tutorials or other edits where you are removing areas of dialogue but don’t want to use a cutaway then using the Flow Transition is an awesome option. It will smoothly transition between to edit points using Final Cut Pro X’s optical flow frame blending.
