Family vacation in the USA?
Best Ever
We have 7 (and a half?) people in total.
2 adults (male+female)
4 teenage girls (15-17)
One girl age 8
One 4 month old baby who is very well behaved
We live in Massachusetts
We don't have TONS of money.
Some ideas we had:
-Amusement parks driving tour all around New England.
-driving trip to myrtle beach or Virginia beach
We can't really afford the amusement parks one.
We CANNOT afford:
Driving trip to Florida (considered)
Air planes
Cruise (also considered)
We wanna leave the state
We wanna go far but not too far. Anything in mind?
***** WE CANNOT LEAVE THE COUNRTY.**** some of the people traveling do not have a passport
Thanks!

Myrtle Beach is one of my family's favorite places, and can be very affordable! There is a wonderful resort in Myrtle beach called "Dunes Village Resort" . They offer ocean view rooms, up to 4 bedroom condos. Each room, even the studios have a minimum of a kitchenette, the larger rooms have full on kitchens. Either way, it allows you to bring what you have in your pantry and cook instead of going out to eat...that way you save a ton of money !
The resort itself is on a beautiful beach, it has 2 indoor water parks that are FREE and plenty of kids activities almost every hour and most of them are free and fun as well ! They have dive in movie nights where they play movies outside by the pool or lazy river and that is also FREE.
If you can travel in September, you can get a great rate: Angle Oceanfront 2 BR 4Q for $134.00 per day. It has a full kitchen, 4 queen beds and a pull out sofa. If you cant book it online because of the amount of people, call directly and they will squeeze you all in the room, no problem :o)
This is our favorite hotel to visit, so much to do and the kids never want to leave. The price is high in the summer time since that is their peak season, so sign up for specials so you get them coming right to your mailbox. the end of April, and September Thru February are the cheapest months to book a room at the Dunes Village Resort. There is also a boardwalk with rides for your amusement park fix. Let the kids each pick 1 ride, plus thee FREE indoor water parks at the hotel are awesome and they also have a game room that is free. Check it out, and if you can talk your kids into waiting until September to go on vacation, you will be so happy you did. It's the kind of place you want to go back to every year. Happy travels!

Can anyone help with youtube ideas?
dcmscheer1
Me and my friend want to make some really good youtube videos and some funny ones too. can anyone recommend any ideas to us.Our youtube channel is: www.youtube.com/lexinicky1. so help us out
Answer
1. Time lapse video
Time lapse videos are easy to make â you keep your camera mounted on a place (a street corner or at your office) and start recording. After certain duration, stop recording and bring to the editing room. In your favourite video editing software, fast-forward the video to at least 100 times fast. Then add a background score, thats it.
How do I make a time lapse video â A good tutorial for starters.
Sample videos:
All 4 seasons of an year at one place â This video is amazing â seasons change right before your eyes within seconds.
Time lapse street race with Toy cars â You can even shoot a video in your bedroom.
2. Interviewing someone
Prepare 10 questions to interview someone (if the person is a girl, you will get lot of views), and do a timed 1-minute interview. You can make the questions such that the respondent can answer with just a âYesâ or âNoâ. Or ask a question to many people, say, âWho would you like to see as the next president of USA?â â ask people answer this question with videos (video replies).
Sample videos:
Interview with PARIS HILTON (Thatâs how my friend calls herself)
A student interviews his teacher
3. Provide your own tips
Start recording your camera and go in front and give some tips to the world. Yes, you can provide funny tips on a specific area of your expertise. Choose a wild topic such as, â10 ways to save yourself when a hungry Rhinoceros chases youâ, âThings to do when you are stuck in 10,000 BCâ, â10 things that you want to know about Australiaâ or âTips for organizing a bachelor partyâ. Be creative and think of some wild topic, it should inspire your viewers to post replies and comments.
Sample videos:
Teen Tips: How To Buy Alcohol â If you are under 18, how do you buy alcohol. Hereâs how.
Trick Tips: How to Look Like a Good Skater â when you are, actually, NOT.
4. Playing with texts
Use MS powerpoint slides to make compelling statements. Print them and show them in front of the camera and remove one page at a time (give enough time to readers to read the print), end with a final punch line. Add background music to the video and upload it.
Sample videos:
Iâm a PayPerPost Blogger â Simple printed slides make a movie
Playing with texts â A cute, 30 sec animation done by a student
5. Screen capture your Desktop activities
Install good screen capture software, first. Start the screen capture software to record any screen activities you do on your PC. Paint a drawing or doodle in Photoshop. Or just simply browse as you normally do. Or just type something â a letter, or a blog post. Stop the screen capture recording, edit the movie (use fast-forward technique) and add some peppy music as the background score. Thatâs it you have made a very cool movie for Youtube.
Sample videos:
A month in the life of geek desktop â Just snapshots of desktop for a month, then a creative movie.
Latest Desktop Wars â If you have not heard this animation series, it is worth a watch.
6. Make an Advert
Shoot an advert or a television commercial for McDonalds, KFC or for the poor Microsoft. Write your own script, draw a storyboard â use existing videos and your own voice and music. When you are making and advert on a well-known global brand, you are bound to get lot of viewers (and criticisms). Who knows, the MNCs would make a way to your door to sign you up (ok, I was kidding!).
Sample videos:
McDonalds ad â Done by students as a school project
Coca Cola Commercial â Watch this 30 second animation
7. Dub for someone
Get some videos where political leaders make a speech or famous celebrity giving an interview to someone. Now, strip off the celebrity speakerâs voice (use volume mute in your video editing software) and add your own voice and a funny one-line. Mix different questions and use some funny one-liners from stripped from old James Bond movies.
