My husband and I are forever indebted to YouTube! (and Matt) for enabling us to post our movie at the last minute. We worked so hard and our son was very excited for everyone to see his athletic accomplishments. While we thought we had completed all the necessary stages for publication, we lacked one. I had burnt the movie to disk, but did not realize that there was a “Finish movie” step that was necessary in order to view the movie at a computer other than our own.
While we were slightly familiar with YouTube!, we had never really explored its potential. With the help of Matt and my husband via cell phone, we were able to resolve this conflict. It’s funny how we go through life never encountering various things, and then all of a sudden, they are everywhere. By this I mean that although I had heard of YouTube!, I never realized what a great tool it was. Of course, after the presentation, my husband immediately removed the video. I’m sure you understand that having a video of your child for all to see can be quite dangerous.
But overall, I was very happy with YouTube! I also warned my brother; because my sister was so taken with the YouTube!, she wanted to create a horror flick using this beastly picture I have of him. There was a 28 second clip we saw entitled “El Chupacabra spotted on a beach in Puerto Rico.” It was just some poor soul, who was slightly large, walking on the beach. Just think what you could do to your enemies who have no experience in the technology arena!! Needless to say, he’s been on his best behavior. It’s so important to know how to move around this new and changing world. My son woke me up the morning after my movie debut to ask me what everyone thought of his performance. I was so happy that I could tell him that they loved him!
