When I saw this assignment, Supercut it, I instantly thought of Friends and Joey’s famous saying “How you doin’.”  I have grown up watching Friends ever sense I was in elementary school. Joey was my favorite guy character because of how personable and funny he was.    It never failed that 1 out of 3 episodes had Joey hitting on someone, it was his characters ‘thing.’  I always thought it was funny to watch his attempts at picking up dates and I thought it would sum up his character rather well.  When joey is saying “Hey how you doin’” he is really hitting on them and in a sense saying that he finds them attractive and would want to get to know them more by inviting them to dinner or hanging out.  When he says his saying, in his mind he is thinking “man this person is good looking, what are my chances with her.”  If a guy were ever to approach me saying “how you doin’” I would most likely die of laughter, just for it making me think of Joey on Friends.

To create this montage, I googled “Joey’s saying ‘How you doin”” and watched a good amount of clips of episodes containing him using his famous phrase.  (My blog Pre Production http://ashstegemiller.com/wordpress/2012/11/04/pre-production/ has in it all the youtube videos I used for the montage.)  Using the various youtube videos downloaded onto my computer, I opened them in MPEG Streamclip and used the I and O key to specify the start and stop positions of each section of the clip I wanted to keep.  I then saved each new trimmed clip and then combined them all together. It was important when selecting all the clips to be put together, if an order was desired, to select the clips in reverse order of how you wanted them played. I made sure each individual clip was in the same size/shape/dimension so they would correlate together, but for some reason some didn’t conform properly, even when I set them up with the same dimensions. I then uploaded the video on to youtube and tagged it with the tags VideoAssignments, VideoAssignments608 and ds106.

Stuff Sheldon says..

Remember ScoobyDoo

I really liked the montages that were created. The Stuff Sheldon says, was really cool and I love watching the big bang theory and I think it portrayed Sheldon’s personality very well! The Remember ScoobyDoo montage was really cool and well put together and reminded me of my child hood watching ScoobyDoo early in the morning on Saturday.
