Why So Serious?
Assignment Value:
So far, 13 people have completed this assignment.
Why should movies be so serious? Take a clip from a movie that is supposed to be serious and remove the audio. Then, replace the audio with that from a comedy movie. Try to line up the speaking from the audio clip with the movements and actions in the video clip. This creates a hilarious effect that we all enjoy. Try using well known movies and clips so that we knwo what the actor should be saying. It makes the clip all the more funny.

Getting to know the joker
I found clips from “The Dark Night” on youtube and downloaded them. Once I did that I put them in order so the story makes some sense. I got the Jokers stories that he tells people in order.

That Bucket List Though
I believe Robert Neville’s bucket list would contain these:
Find another living human
Beat my depression
See his daughter and wife once again
Beat Alcoholism
Find the cure
While Robert Neville was alive he did not find another living human. He lost his family …
Why So Serious? You’re in Zombieland!
More fandom creations of World War Z!
I did the assignment Why So Serious? in which I had to put funny audio over a dramatic (even traumatic) scene from the movie adaptation of my book.
Initially, I wasn’t quite sure what comedy to dub over World War Z. I played …
Why So Serious?
The Why So Serious assignment asked me to take a serious part of a movie, and overlay it with comedy audio. So I did just that, mixing the Bobadook and Seinfeld.
For those who don’t know, The Bobadook is an Australian horror movie that got a lot of critical acclaim …
Gravity and Ghostbusters
I loved the idea of making a serious movie funny, so I took this assignment and ran with it. I began by selecting my two scenes to mashup. For my serious scene I chose the reentry clip from Gravity (one of my favorite movies). Then I chose the proton pack …
Video Assignment – Why So Serious?
First video assignment of the entire class! For this assignment, we’re supposed to take a serious scene from a movie, and then dub it with audio or music from a comedy. The serious scene I chose was the Raptor in the Kitchen scene from Jurassic Park, and I dubbed it …
“Ooooohhhh-tay!”
For my first video assignment, I chose to do “Why So Serious?” I had to take the audio from a funny movie and add it to the video of a serious movie.
I chose The Little Rascals for my funny movie and Miracle for my serious movie. Both of …
Montage!
I completed the assignment why so serious because it sounded really fun. I used a song about montages from Team America World Police and added it to the famous montage scene in Rocky. It’s spot on and really funny. The song is only 80 second long and the video clip …
Lock, Stock, And some Ron Burgundy
For this Video Assignment, I decided to go with Why So Serious and bring back an old favorite of mine, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking barrels and dub over words from Ron Burgundy. I chose this scene because its a pretty serious scene about bluffing a Desert Eagle …
Mean Notebook
For the Why So Serious assignment I decided to mash up two of my favorite Rachael McAdams movies, The Notebook and Mean Girls. I thought this juxtaposition would be interesting because Rachael plays such different characters in these two movies. Her mothers are also very different as one tries …

Old Scars
I mashed up a clip from “Scarface” and the audio from “Old School.” I thought the “We’re going streaking!” part made a hilarious mash up with Tony Montana shooting up the gangsters trying to take his house.
