For Thing 10, I could have added an educational video as this probably is the case with most educators. However, I decide to add this contest video. In April, the Fox Sports Cable Channel in Detroit runs an “April in the D” song contest. The winner of the contest would have their song used by Fox Sports in promotional ads during the month of April.
A friend of mine heard of the contest and suggested that we enter. The deadline in three weeks was short, but achievable. It took about two weeks to write, record, and master the tune. Only after the song was complete, did we read the fine print, and realize we needed to produce a video. We hurriedly organized a trip through downtown Detroit, video recording anything we thought would be useful. About eight hours of video editing later, we had this video.
We didn't win the contest, though we learned a lot in the process of making the video and had a great deal of fun.
About three months later, I was searching YouTube for any other entries that had been posted. Although I probably shouldn't have been, I was surprised to find that Fox Sports had posted our video! This just may be my 1 minute and 44 seconds worth of fame.
BTW, I was able to download a video. Nice trick.
