Trailer Mashup–Mulan

I think downloading all the tools and learning how to use it was more annoying than doing the assignment itself. I used Sony Vegas Pro as the main tool for combining all my clips. Using clip converter, I downloaded the clips from YouTube and saved them in the proper formats (audio(mp3 and video mp4). I imported the video into S.V.P. and then converted the audio into .wav so I could clip and chop away in audacity.

I chose to use the live Mulan version and switch the audio with the Disney version using the Lion King intro as an opening. The Disney audio I think does this movie so much more justice than the original. You can hear so much more intensity in the music than in the original.

 

 

 

 

 

Mulan Mashup

Video Assignment – Movie Trailer Mashup

Definitely a fun one to try, I used the fastest Youtube Downloader Andy talked about on the 7-14 vid to download the 300 and Elf trailers from youtube and convert them to mp4′s. Not sure if I even had to because at first I was trying windows movie maker and I tried loads of different filetypes (converting the vids to) but it rejected everything because it claimed I didn’t have the right codecs to play the vids on my comp. So then I downloaded the free trial of Sony Vegas Pro 10.0 and imported the mp4′s. Using the video and audio tracks from 300, and the audio track from Elf, I edited them together, going back and forth between audio tracks (ended up having 13 different tracks, each containing a snippet of one of the audios, and one with the video). Also tried out the fade offset to fade in/out different sounds a little. After finishing just rendered it as an mp4 (tried avi at first, but the file ended up being ~400 mb) and uploaded it to youtube.

Audio Assignment – Interview/Music Mashup

DickieGoodman by edrummon

For the interview/music mashup I did a remix of Dickie Goodman’s “Kong” (original can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsELgtExsEs) where Goodman interviews King Kong while he is roaming around New York City. I used audacity again, had to find the close to exact timings of all of the songs that were edited into the interview already to overwrite them and the same for the snippets of the songs I put in, all of which had to be toned down a lot (using amplify, decreasing dB). While all of the songs might not fit in perfectly, this one took a while to do and a good amount of thinking and searching through songs. I tried to use a set of music that allows everyone to recognize at least a few songs! Here’s what I chose (in order in the remix):

Don’t Worry Baby – The Beach Boys
Help! – The Beatles
Never Gonna Give You Up – Rick Astley (rickroll ftw!)
Let it Be – The Beatles
In My Dreams – Kid Cudi
Crank That – Soulja Boy
People Are Strange – The Doors
You’re a Jerk – New Boyz
Airplanes – B.o.B. (feat. Hayley Williams)
Young, Wild, and Free – Wiz Khalifa (feat. Snoop Dogg)
Sky’s the Limit – Lil Wayne
Popular – Lil Wayne (feat. Lil Twist)

Audio Experiment #2 Mash-up

This crazy mashup was so fun to do. i think the hardest part was thinking up questions and then thinking of the right songs to respond. It doesn’t help if you don’t listen to a lot of music. After i imported the songs i wanted to use, it was very annoying cutting away to the precise point where the answer began. I made a major mistake for this one, and that was using the same artist for the responses. At first I wanted it to be one contestant, but then one become three with very interesting personalities (I want to make it longer and more intricate!!!) but here is the demo. As for why the contestants have the same voice, I’ll tell you that they are triplets!!!

I used songs by Akon and the applause was from recordingHopkins on freesound.

Sick Beat

This sound is a mash-up between a guitar and a flute. This mashup gives it a feel of tropical but also a medieval tavern. Something fun and interesting.

Spooky Sound

This is a mash-up between a guitar and a piano to make a spooky sound. Reminds me of a horror video game audio that is the character waiting in a lobby or the home screen of the game waiting to start. It gives off the vibe that things are building up to a point of a jump scare.

Sound Mix

This is an audio mash-up of Imagine Dragons and a audio I found on Creative Commons. The reason why I choose this one to do is because I grew up with Imagine Dragons as a kid. That and was and still is a favorite of mine to listen to. Finding an audio from Imagine Dragons was hard but I was able to find a live performance audio that was only just vocals.

Everything Is the Same as It Ever Was

I’ve always wanted to do the David Lee Roth audio remix assignment but never came up with a good use for it. Maybe I still haven’t, but I made this thing:

The other day I saw a tweet from Open Culture about The Isolated Vocal Tracks of the Talking Heads’ “Once In A Lifetime” and knew I had to do something with it. A Dave mashup seemed perfectly inappropriate. I spent some time looking for a gospel music background for it, without luck. Then, as if by fate, magic or coincidence, this Donnie Hathaway track showed up on Youtube, giving me the pieces I needed. I grabbed the tracks and imported them in Audacity, and started fooling around with the placement. The Talking Heads verses seemed to fit well rhythmically with the Hathaway music. I chopped up the Roth vocalizations and distributed them as accents. His lyrics didn’t fit so well, so I left them out, as well as the “Once in a Lifetime” chorus. Roth is still kind of jarring, but Hathaway makes it work as well as it does.

I figured if I put it on Soundcloud it would get blocked, but Youtube might let it through with a copyright claim or three. So I needed some visuals. I tried using the actual Talking Heads video. I didn’t think I could get the “Running with the Devil” video to work with it so I found a Roth GIF to throw in whenever he showed up in the track. That wasn’t working and I almost gave up, but then I thought of just repeating a GIF. I’d seen it before and liked the effect. The visual component is just stupid in this case, and probably would have been better if I just used the Byrne GIF. But at least I made a thing…
