Lyric Video Snippet

_cokwr: Take a short section of one of your favorite songs, and turn the song into a music video using only lyrics.

Vision of the future

What will life be like when apps such as Layar or Google Goggles are no longer applications in a handheld device, but hardwired into our brains? Layer some 'augmented' reality style effects on top of the video in an attempt to show what life will be like once we are cybernetically linked to technologies such as Layar or Google Goggles. It could be like the view that the Terminator sees through his robotic eyes, or something more down to earth like a price comparison app that appears as you do your shopping. Make it funny, make it serious or speculate about how this technology might be used for good or bad. Check out an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MeaaCwBW28

Redub The Audio

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:

Play by Play
