-For this project, we were assigned to make a video for a person who is interested in playing tennis or looking to improve their tennis game and/or fitness. It also contains information about a proper tennis player diet and other useful information pertaining to tennis. This video will be posted on vimeo.com so that it can be viewed worldwide. This video is important to us because it helps us practice using different camera filming techniques and various editing skills on i-movie. This video is important to the world wide community, since our instructional video is easily assessable worldwide, because people in the tennis community and/or people who are interested in becoming a better tennis player can get free, helpful information. We hope that a lot of people will find this video useful and put our workout/diet to the test. We are very excited to hear the feedback from viewers, so we know if other people thought about it. ======

-The AOI selected for this project was community and service. This task is related to the AOI because we are giving free, useful information to others in the community. We think that everyone deserves the right to gain access to information. So by putting our video online for the world wide community to view, we are helping people who want to become a better tennis player some helpful information. Overall, I think that we gave the world wide community an opportunity to better their tennis game by viewing our video. ======

We hope this video will help, improve and bring knowledge to the tennis community.
