20 minutes of preparation
I was actually very satisfied with what I did in twenty minutes. I used imovie to create an introduction of myself as an English Teacher and certain books I would teach my students. I was not able to put music in it because the itunes library is empty (and I did not feel like including cheesy background noises). The rather impressive part of what I did was that (and mind you, in twenty minutes time!) I compressed my video and uploaded it onto youtube. I was very happy that I could do all these steps in such a short time. Another limiting factor was including a picture of myself. I had to access facebook, copy a picture to my desktop, open adobe photoshop, and crop the picture. So within twenty minutes, I accessed three websites, used two different (complex) programs, and applied two forms of video alterations. Here is the finished product, I had to edit the length of each clip (each was way too long), and that takes precision, so it has come out choppy at moments, but still I am satisfied.

Needless to say, I am very impressed with this idea. I decided to make a class page and blog, which most everyone seemed to do, but what you made would definitely make you stand out in comparison to other applicants. I watched your video on Youtube, and, although it is short, it is a nice start to something you could definitely expand upon. Nice thinking!
You really show your stuff here Phil. I would like sound of course and more of it. Your technical skills are very impressive. You want to make your content worthy of them!! I am very excited about what you know man!! What about applying for this internship I posted on the blog.
