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:

_cokwr: We need to learn the value of stripping things down, removing the cruft, making more with less. Take a large body of text and reduce it continually until you’re left with something that still holds all its meaning but is much more succinct and approachable. Use this tool to make a visual representation of these edits: http://www.telescopictext.org/, _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.timmmmyboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Picture-1-580x322.png, _chk2m: Tim Owens, _ciyn3: 10, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

_cokwr: You may have seen parodies in which the camera cuts between an interviewee in a real interview and a fake interviewer, for example The Soup's interview with Miley Cyrus about being a vampire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldNycG-IATY). The nice thing about doing this with audio rather than video is that you're not restricted to using responses from a single interview since you don't have to worry about making it look real. Record yourself asking questions to someone famous, then use audio clips of the celebrity from real interviews as the responses., _cpzh4: Audio, _chk2m: Matt Martin, _ciyn3: 95, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
