Creating a Dance Website – A Natural Way

 

The art of dance, like most other forms of art, can have a wide spectrum of channels that range from traditional disciplined techniques, to free forms of self expression. A website about dance forms offers an ideal platform with resources and information for any aspiring dancer, or even a professional. You website also enables you to create a location from which you can connect with other dancers by exploring networks within the art community. Here is a step-by-step guide for creating your very own website on dancing:

  1. Plan your focus-style

Considering how wide are the varieties of styles as well as their interpretations in dancing, your site can become confusing for the visitors. If you have something to say about dance, choose the sphere properly. Whether it is a ballet or jazz, you have to make sure that you begin with a perfect plan determined about the direction you want to go in.

  1. Collect adequate information

As soon as the main purpose of your website is decided, the research should begin. You can start with visiting local dance studios and interview and take photographs of instructors or in-session classes. Also, read up all the recent news in magazines on dance forms. This may help you to come up with articles of your own. Categorize your materials according to text, photos, graphics, and miscellaneous for including them in your site whenever needed.

  1. The Homepage

Create a home page of your own because it is the main focus of any website.  It is the first screen that appears whenever users click on your URL. The primary requirement is to provide a title for your page with images of dancing floors, dancers, and dance related materials. The color of your website should be in sync with the theme you choose. For instance, in case of a tap site, there must be a classic black and white combination, and for a ballet site there must be a combination of muted pastel colors. On the other hand, a website about salsa dance would be suited best with bold reds for the theme.

  1. Plan out your menu

Whenever you create a website which has more than only the home page, you need to include a menu where an index is made up what the rest of your guide comprises of.

Some of the followings can be included in your menu:

  • All recent updates and news about dance forms

  • Highlight a famous regional dancer

  • Photos of dancers that you have taken

  • Pin up message boards for aspiring dancers

  • Create quizzes and surveys for users

  • Advertisements of dance merchandises that you might want to trade

  • Information about area dance studios and outfitters

  1. Add some innovative graphics

It may not be a forte but there are many helpful sites on the Internet and make your website appear attractive. Only remember to provide a plug in link for the browsers you have accessed.

How to Use Camtasia For Making Your Own Videos

Camtasia is a very popular screen capture program. It allows the person to capture the video screen elements, while narrating the whole process. Than the person can edit them to his or her liking. And if the person has a really good microphone, these videos can be done in a very professional way.

One tip I use is I use my iPhone for audio and then import it into Camptasia.

So How Do You Go About Doing This?

1) The first thing you need to do is to understand the screen. When you look below the toolbar you will see four sections. Each of these sections show ways to edit your creation and have it produced. On your screen there is a clip bin. This clip bin will include all of your files that you have created so far. This clip bins gives you the ability to use the files you have already uploaded or to import new ones. On the screen there is a video preview screen. This preview screen allows you to see your video project in motion and how it is progressing thus far. The timeline feature allows you to drag your existing videos and place them in the order that you would like to see them appear in your project.

2)An essential part of this is learning to record. To do this, all you need to do is press on the “record the screen” There is something called the “new recording wizard”.

By using the wizard you can control how and at what speed your project and information gets recorded.
Once you choose the range and the speed your recording will start. The wizard will keep going until you tell it otherwise. If you tell it to stop, it will do so.

3) The editing process is something that is very critical to the camtasia program. If you are not familiar with the editing process, you will need to learn. Once you have created your files and imported whatever media data that you may need, you will than drag the items from the clip bin to the timeline. Once they are there you can edit them further. You can add sound affect and other visual imaging that you desire. The more you know about operating the program, the crazier you can go.

4) As the video editing is finished, all you need to do is click on the file button. Click file icon produce file as is. Once that happens the production wizard will pop up with some more options. Some of the options that pop up will also include the file format. Now it depends on where you want to have the video project seen and how, as to what type of file system you use.

Some of the popular formats are WAV and MOV. These can be used for the real-time player functions. Pick the right format and send it off. That way it can be seen by those who you wish to see it. Many times these projects are created for business, to entice new clients. Other times videos such as these are created to help create a more positive and enticing work environment. The way you create and edit these video projects are important. With the video wizard you can dress them up or dress them down,as much or as little as you like.

All You Need to Know About the Technology Powering Dubai’s Dynamic Tower

 

Dubai is home to many amazing structures, among them the 828-meter Burj Khalifa, the 321-meter Burj Al Arab and the 310-meter Cayan Tower. And now in about a few years’ time, it will house an even more amazing structure: the splendidly designed Dubai Dynamic Tower.

Inspiration

Not many people are aware that the Dubai Dynamic Tower is also known as the Da Vinci Tower. There was no official confirmation from Dr. Fisher as to how the name was derived, but it was probably inspired by one of many Leonardo Da Vinci’s groundbreaking innovation, namely the aerial screw.

Although the aerial screw was said to have helped inspire the birth of the modern day helicopter, it bears a striking similarity to Dr. Fisher’s very own Dubai Dynamic Tower. It is no coincidence that the structure’s rotating wing and circular foundation look like it could be the very based that the skyscraper was inspired from.

Taking a cue from Da Vinci’s notes on the aerial screw (“if the screw is turned rapidly, it will penetrate air, and it will mount aloft”), Dr. Fisher and his team incorporated the turbine technology into the skyscraper to make it the first self-powered skyscraper in the world.

What makes the Dubai Dynamic Tower SO awesome?

Here are five amazing aspects about the Dubai Dynamic Tower that will cause anyone to be awestruck with wonder:

1.  It will measure 420 meters with a total of 80 levels.

2. The structure will cost approximately $550 million dollars to erect.

3. The prefabrication technology used to construct the building resulted in the optimization of manpower needed – instead of 2,000 workers, only 690 are needed to see the building to completion.

4. Each of the levels in this futuristic building is able to rotate a full 360 degrees in an hour and a half. That means that the residents will be accorded different views throughout the day and night time.

5. A voice recognition system gives residents the power to customize their desired degree of rotation so that they will not be at the mercy of the rotation system.

6. Completely constructed through the prefabrication methodology, each Tower unit will come with 12 modules including pre-installed fixtures. However, this does not mean that all the units will be designed the same way; on the contrary, inhabitants will be given the choice to voice out and implement their preference in terms of design and customization.

7. There are five exclusive villas or penthouse located at the top of the skyscraper. The astronomical price tag awards owners with the convenience of being able to drive vehicles straight to their units AND park in it via a specially-built, spacious lift.

8. The Dubai Rotating Tower is pretty much self-sufficient when it comes to energy generation. Strategically placed wind turbines and solar panels will help produce up to 1,200,000 kilowatt hours of energy, thus creating sustainable and eco-friendly habitats.

The visionary behind the Tower

The idea for the rotating towers was conceived by Dr. David Fisher, a world renowned Italian-Israeli architect. Prior to immersing himself in the Dubai Dynamic Tower project, he spent the last three decades perfecting the aspect of technological extremes in the architectural and construction sector.

Dr. Fisher made it his lifelong goal to implement remarkable designs that adapt to the ever-changing needs of the residents in his creations, and this was achieved through three revolutions that are evident in the design and construction of the Dubai Dynamic Tower.

The first of the three revolutions relate to the shape of the structure which shifts continuously, allowing its residents to live in a revolutionary four-dimensional habitat.

The second revolution involves the technique in which the skyscraper is constructed – Dr. Fisher has employed the method of prefabrication in his desire for the Dubai Dynamic Tower to rise up majestically against the Dubai skyline. In a recent interview with Leonard Albanese who is the owner and CEO of Albanese Builders, the master builder was cited as saying that this was one of the wisest move an architect could make. The advantages of prefabrication (major ones include faster construction, better cost-efficiency and environmentally friendly) have long been acknowledged but up till now, no one has quite achieved what Dr. Fisher has in mind, and that is to build a dynamic skyscraper that engages the same advantageous construction method.

And finally, the third innovation revolves around the building’s wind turbines which is the very core of the technology that not only causes the skyscraper to rotate, but one that allows it to be the first self-powered building. The Dubai Dynamic Tower is not only an architectural marvel to feast your eyes on, but it is also a sustainable energy generator in its own right, powering not only the structure itself but also other buildings surrounding it.

Without doubt, Dr. Fisher is indeed an inimitable visionary who will soon add one of his creations to the already-impressive list of worldly modern day wonders. Only time will reveal other architectural wonders this farsighted genius will unleash upon the unsuspecting world.
