This document provides instructions for creating a high-speed film using iMovie. It is a 13 step process that involves importing video footage into iPhoto and iMovie, speeding up the clips, adjusting audio levels, editing clips, and adding fast-paced music. The goal is to take 10 minutes of film and condense it into an accelerated version by speeding up the clips and editing out unnecessary portions.
