My podcast experience was actually enlightening in more than one way. Not only had I never documented a public space and venue for a class, but never have I had to dictate and speak in public (to myself). I would definitely say that this was the most difficult aspect for me just because I wasn’t familiar with narrating what I am physically seeing. It was enlightening to learn more about my peers and friends who are artists, particularly Phil Siegel, and because of this project I can say that I now have a a newfound respect for my friend Phil.
In regards to my editing choices and experience with the video, I did this because I am most familiar with this sort of media. For me, it would have been more of an inconvenience to simply upload an .mp3 of my Podcast to a site than to create what I did. I wanted to create a page that had similar aspects to my personal hypertext, but differentiated by small changes such as the background. The video itself was easy to film and edit as I have done several projects with iMovie and Final Cut Pro in the past. Believe it or not, but I ended filming for the project at 2am on Friday and edited the video in just 4 hours.
Any and every day of the week I would prefer a media-based assignment over a paper assignment because of my familiarity with media and software, whereas I dread translating my thoughts to text and a paper assignment.
