This letter home is in video, where I inserted some pictures and text into my video letter home. Still feeling my way through the video editing tools so it’s a little crude.

Kirby Ferguson’s videos about remixed material was amazing. He took some songs and movies that I thought were original and showed where the artist or directions got their inspiration from.

1. Play by Play I like sports, so I am planning on doing a “play by play” of a video of when Shaq broke the backboard when he dunked in his younger days. I just need the video of the event and use a video editor that allows me to record my voice over top the video. ...

The first time I went to see The Fellowship of the Ring I was only 9 years old so even though I really liked the movie I could not fully appreciate it mostly due to that fact that the wraiths … Continue reading →

The goal was to pick a movie, preferably a classic. Toy Story, in my opinion, is one of the most creative films made so far. I chose two segments from this film that Roger Ebert’s discusses in his journal about … Continue reading →

For this assignment, I chose to use a trailer from one of my favorite (trashy) movies, Mean Girls! I found the trailer on YouTube and used the tutorial (from the Magic Macguffin website) “How to Download YouTube videos” for help with downloading the MP4 file. I used PwnYouTube. I did not have the correct updated ...
