Physics of Sports Video:
I had the privilege of working with Ethan Rapp and Paige Duncan on this project.
We started by thinking of what sport we all wanted to do and how many equations it would have. We knew we needed one with as many different equations as possible. Ethan wanted to do something with either lacrosse or soccer but Paige and I wanted to do gymnastics (a round-off back-handspring). Eventually we all agreed on a basketball layup. We then started filming Ethan doing a bunch of layups from all different angles. After that we started doing the equations and putting everything into iMovie. We had to edit almost everything weather it was the volume or the length every clip had to be messed with. We had to redo our introductions to each equation and the equations themselves multiple times. When we had everything done we decided to do voice overs on the equations and talk them through too. We then posted it to youtube.

These are the equations we used in our video:

Reflection:
I thought this project was very fun and interesting. It was relevant to my current life. Our groups got things done but was also very social. We worked well together though it was difficult to get everyone together at the same time to work on it. I personally could have been clearer in saying this is what I'm doing can you do that. I could have also let others do some of editing because looking back on it I didn't offer. My video editing skills have improved very much and once again I have gotten better at working with others and listening to and accepting their help.
