Video Assignments

Redub The Audio

Take a classic movie (or heck any movie you like), and rescript the audio of a key scene. You will want to re-write the lines to change the meaning or intent of the scene, delete the original audio, and record your own (this can be done many ways, voiceover in iMovie, recording the audio and editing the track in any other movie editor). For my example, I took Howard Beale's on camera rampage from "Network", and changed it to a diatribe on being bored in school., _cpzh4: Video, _cre1l: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZcMucXO7es, _chk2m: Alan Levine, _ciyn3: 131, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Speed Up Your Work Day

Take video of yourself doing what you typically do on an average work day, and then speed it up! Start with at least 30 minutes of footage at a minimum, so as to get a good amount of video to share. Challenge yourself to complete the assignment in one single shot, then speed it up to ridiculous speeds, and toss in some music that fits the mood., _cpzh4: Video, _cre1l: http://vimeo.com/26491808, _chk2m: Ben Rimes, _ciyn3: 155, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
