It’s Monday, and it’s time for the first WATM Challenge! Starting this week I will post a WATM Challege right here! It’s easy. All you do is make your video within the assigned criteria, upload it to the internet to a place like blip.tv, and then leave a note in the comments with the url of your video! It’s not important to be the best, it’s important to participate and learn and expand you video horizons. By taking a challenge every week we will grow and develop and be more empowered media-makers together!
WATM Challenge 1: Half Second Cuts - Make a video that cuts every half second. In other words, you can only use clips that are a half second long. You can make it as long as you want, but every half second the video must cut to another clip. No transitions allowed, just pure slashed footage every half second. Get it done before next Monday! Go for it!
Thanks to Markus Sandy who asked me at Vloggercon about the future of WATM, if he hadn’t of asked, I wouldn’t have answered!
Got ideas for future WATM challenges? Leave them in the comments.

This is a very unique idea. I know it’s not the best, but it is the best I can do right now. Here’s my foray back into vlogging….again. It’s about time, I say!

here’s mine. it was hard to measure 1/2 second accurately so some clips might be longer or shorter…

Funny.. after I posted my link again, the first comment I had posted showed up. Sorry for the confusion I didn’t mean to double post.

Wow, these are great! It seems I missed the deadline. Is it too late to submit or will there be more challenges? I’m really want to participate.
