Length of Video: 1:18
Title of Video: Rosebud
Who helped make this video: Orson Wells


What is your video about: I "sampled" Citizen Kane, distilling its theme into a short, easy to understand "sampler" and applied it to the newest sport of the new millennium, Kite boarding.  I feel this video will not only turn people on to this great film (who may not have seen it or might be turned off by it because it is in black & white).  There is a sled and a snowball thrown in it but I live in Florida so that is the best I can do to exemplify what most would consider winter sports. The kite boarding you see in this video is our "winter" sport as this is when the wind is best in Florida. In the summer, the winds calm and we can rarely enjoy the sport that typically requires winds of 15+ knots.


How did you make your video: I use a Canon GL2 and digital film the sport of kite boarding in Florida. I use a special waterproof video housing. I edit on a computer I built and use the software Adobe Premiere 6.0.  I have since upgraded to Premiere Pro.
