Movie trailer is complete. I used Windows Movie Maker to create a .wmv file which was embedded on the Genius Hour Trailer page without difficulty. At one of the lifting sessions I had another lifter take a couple pictures and some video with my phone. The videos were in .mov format so I had to use an online converter to get them into the .wmv format.
I didn't use any words for the trailer but that was on purpose because I wanted the watcher to grasp the idea without a narration. The music was used by a wrestler, Bill Goldberg, back in the late 90s/early 2000s and sounds pretty epic so I thought it would be good background music for a 'journey', which is what training for anything is. The pictures of me lifting are representative of the progression used in completing both lifts. I was going for a combination of a Rocky type training montage and to show the progression of the weight from the ground to the start of me trying to get it over my head without showing whether or not I could actually get it there. Maybe it would have been a better idea to use only video and actually do a training montage but the videos at the beginning, middle and end were intended to show me getting ready to try the final lifts interspersed with pictures of the training to get there. The trailer ends at the point of lift off and maybe there's some suspense about whether or not the lift was completed.
I actually enjoyed completing the trailer. I went over 30 seconds with it, but it felt kind of like I was telling a story with it so I guess that was hard to do in just 30 seconds. Anyways, on to the next...
