What I did?

The first thing I did was watch the lynda.com tutorial on iMovie where I found out that I need to update my software in order to download the free version, which is not good because I’ve had trouble doing that on my computer in the recent past for whatever reason. I then started doing some research on iMovie and looking at some reviews and the majority of them were quite bad. Most everyone seemed to have some trouble while using it which does not give me a lot of confidence because something typically will go wrong for me when using technology and I do not want it to set my project back. I’m going to look for other movie resources or possibly tweak my project a little bit and do something using Flash.

Why I did it?

I’ve never used iMovie before so I wanted to look into it a little bit before committing to it and I’m glad that I did because all I saw were negative reviews. I’d like to make the movie the way I had intentionaly planned but if I have to do something like a voice-over of the story over animation I think it will still turn out very good.
