NOAA has put together a video which allows us to visually see the history of CO2 over the last 600,000 years. Upon seeing this video I began to think that it would be nice to put music in the background to compliment the video but there arose a problem with what song would be best for this endeavor.
After much deliberations I decided to go with the song "Mind Heist" from the movie "Inception". As I had never done anything like this before there was a bit of a learning curve but using Windows Movie Maker and Moyea's FLV to Video Converter I was able to create my first Youtube video.
(1) Download Mind Heist
(2) Download the History of CO2 from Youtube
(3) Convert the movie from flash into a Windows Movie Maker compatible format
(4) Add Music
(5) Alter the speed of the movie so the timing lines up
Movies are a great way to translate the latest climate science to the general public. Peter Sinclair has shown that these videos can become wildly popular as well as entertaining. Adding these tools to our repertoire only strengthens our ability to educate and inform the general public on climate and environmental issues.
