Crackin’ Up

For my second video assignment, I decided to take a spin on the cheesy educational film assignment, but I took an already made how to video from Howcast and I used Robert Farnon’s Manhattan Boy as my cheesy educational movie because it reminded me of the music that was used in the episode of Spongebob Squarepants with the cheesy Krusty Krab training video. It was fun to chop up the video and slow it down. It was pretty hard to balance my voice and the music I picked too. Also matching the music to the video then my voice to the video was a challenge. But I am happy with the outcome.

Vintage Educational Video

Video was the new frontier for teaching in the 1950s and you can find rich (and funny) examples of educational videos of that era. In this assignment make a 5 minute or less video of a modern topic in the vintage style of these films. Include elements like cheesy music, titles, cut out graphics, booming voice to make something educational.
