The application process was also different this time. Most applications are just written but this time it had to be a video application. Where to start? My first thought was to get filmed swimming, biking and running and then splice everything together into a movie. Off to Swim Labs to get filmed and then I had my wife and some friends film me cycling and running.
I then decided to splice in some stills from races and training and even to incorporate some testimonials from friends. Converting video from VOB to MPEG2 to AVI so it could be copied into windows movie maker was a challenge but that's another post.
The good news is that after hours of editing, I actually produced a video. The bad news is that I wasn't selected as one of the finalist. Oh well. It was a good experience learning how to make movies and if I need to make another movie, I'll be better equiped to handle it.
