Oh boy, I created another one!  I’ve seen a few examples of this on the internet now, which kind of sucks because I thought I was being original when I came up with it.  I guess it’s true what they say, everything good has already been created (note: not what I actually believe).  Anyways, I created the “Inappropriate Laughter” assignment under mashups.  It’s important to inject laughter into everything we do, no matter how inappropriate it may be!

I started off by finding a few laugh track clips on freesounds.org.  Then it was off to decide on which clip to use.  I wanted something that could still be seen as funny in the right circumstances.  What better scene than in Pulp Fiction right after Jules and Vincent take Marvin in their car for a ride!  Very minor spoilers ahead in the video, so beware.

I started by converting the file to an AVI format from MP4 using MPEG Streamclip.  Then it was just a matter of matching up and trimming the audio clips and aligning them in appropriate (inappropriate?) moments in the scene.

In the future, I would recommend using multiple laugh tracks.  I only used one throughout the whole assignment and although it creates a certain cheesiness to the assignment, it would still be better with multiple tracks.
