The final thing I did this week was bringing the Foley video we saw a few weeks back to life. We had to do this by downloading the video clip, removing the audio, and replacing it with our classmates’ Foley clips and a different soundtrack to match the story we wanted it to tell. Since I thought the video was funny when I first saw it, I wanted the edited version and the story to be funny as well. Before I go into the details, here’s what I created:

Okay, so in terms of editing, I wanted to keep the video funny, no, actually, I wanted to make it funnier. So, what did I do to make it funnier? Well, I added in funny music because music always adds to the atmosphere. I found these songs on YouTube, and swiped them with PwnYouTube. Here are the ones I found:

Here’s a snapshot of my project space on iMovie after I was done:

Okay, so here’s the story I wrote for my video:

“There once was a man named Billy. Billy always had bad luck. Ever since he could remember, he was always the last kid to get picked for sports teams, always got parking tickets, and was always late to work, which is why the only job he’s been able to hold is his weekend clown gigs for birthday parties. But one day, he woke up late and had to rush to this big gig for this millionaire’s daughter’s 5th birthday party. So, he quickly got dressed and got out the door in less than five minutes, but his car had a flat. He knew the place was less than two miles away, so he decided to run there. He knew a short cut through this park that would take off about a mile or so, so he turned the corner at Maple Street. Once he got around, he saw a huge carnival set up. Apparently that weekend, the town was having their annual town carnival. But, despite the crowds and strange animals, he decided to keep going because he knew it would be the quickest way to his gig. Little did he know the dangers that were ahead of him… Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!”

There’s the backstory on our main man! Hope you guys enjoyed the video I edited and the story I wrote (:
