Big Lessons

I created this video in accordance with this assignment, which calls for you to take the audio of a film and put it over a video clip of a different movie while somehow relating them. I decided to put a little twist on this mashup by incorporating my character into this assignment. I took my radio commercial and put it over this clip from the movie Big as a means of sticking to the piano theme that Danny Keys has.

This assignment gave me a lot of unnecessary trouble. I recorded the video with OBS, although the video I used to record from was fairly low quality. After converting the video, I think the quality decreased even more. I then tried to edit it in Windows Movie Maker and the file was corrupt. So, I had to do the aforementioned process all over again. The second time it worked flawlessly and my video loaded up without any errors (although the quality leaves something to be desired).

I wanted to make this video something related to Danny as well as reuse some of my old content, so I went through my character-related posts and this one was the easiest to integrate into one of the mashup assignments. I’d like to reuse some more of the material we have created in this course, so hopefully I’ll be able to think of other ways to use the assignments to my advantage!

Switch the Soundtrack!

For my last mashup assignment, I decided to do Switch the Soundtrack for 3 stars! This assignment turned out to be pretty fun! Basically, I had to use a video clip from one movie and replace the audio with sound from another, but the change had to make sense! I decided to use a small clip from a Mickey Mouse cartoon short called “Doggone Biscuits” for the video, and an audio clip from Mean Girls for the audio! Here’s my mashup!

The making of this assignment was easier than it seems! First, I chose my “I’m a mouse, duh” sound clip from moviesoundclips.net. I downloaded it to my computer, then uploaded it into my iMovie. Then, I went looking for mouse videos. As soon as I stumbled across Mickey Mouse short videos I knew I’d find something! I quickly scanned through this particular video looking for a moment where I could overlay the Mean Girls quote. And I was super lucky, because I think I found a great point in the short to make my mashup with! I downloaded the short using savefrom.net, then imported it into my iMovie. From there I just cut the portion of the video that I wanted, then turned the audio to the clip off. Then I dragged the audio clip I wanted to use over top, and voila my mashup was complete! Hope you guys like it!

Vader goes Duke.

I took a short Star wars clip and replaced a piece of Darth Vader’s dialog with a little  John Wayne.

To do this I went to Kelsey Stanbro’s blog page and got a little education.  I then converted two you-tube clips into audio files with a free mp3 converter. I then mixed the audio with audacity. I then added my new audio clip to the desired video clip and suppressed the original videos audio.

This assignment is worth 3 stars.

Switch the Soundtrack

Take the sound from one video and put it with the video of another. And make it work somehow.
