Webstory – Drudge Report (Not Wash Post)

So originally I was hoping to edit up the Washington Post, but it ended up being too fraught with technology I don’t understand, and I couldn’t get the images to come out right. I decided to do the Drudge Report instead with the same theme (turning all the news to good news). I think that the Post would’ve worked a lot better, just because all the pictures in it give more opportunities to come up with completely new awesome stories. With the Drudge Report, I could do that too, but without an existing picture there was really no reason to go out on a limb most of the time. I ended up just tweaking the headlines a little bit to make them something better (although in some cases they just needed to be completely rewritten – there’s some bad stuff going on in the world right now). Anyway, here are my final products:

Anyway, I’m not totally happy with how this worked out, but now it’s done. On to video!
