Project 4: Power Rangers on Crack



So here it is, the final project. Pretty much I edited audio, video, screen shots and made a crazy video out of it. I dont have a good camera, or camcorder either and for some reason TCNJ doesnt let me borrow anything so I took everything I learned over the sememster and made a music video. The video is an episode of Power Rangers, with a twist. The audio was found online since im not quite a composer, however all the video editing was me, and I defineatly changed the audio to incorporate sounds, different beats... etc. This was an awesome project, and and awesome class, Ive learned so much.

Project 3: Imagine



So this video is an animation that I day dreamt... I drew every slide individually so it proved to be very time consuming, but very fun. I left it black and white because I decided thats usually how I dream... I guess. I think I couldve added more slides and actually made it the entire song, but it wouldve taken forever.

Pretty much the moral of the story is the world is going to end if we dont take care of it and live in peace... The universe is something we cant even comprehend, and last but not least, ancient civilizations (the pyrmaids, egyptians) know things about the past that either A: we dont agree with or B: just havnt found yet. I know, im a wack job.

Project 2 "Rocky Time Travel"



This video is a look into how by using YouTube, a 31 year time span (Rocky came out in 1976, Rocky Balboa was just released in 2007) can be easily viewed in 5 minutes and change... By doing this you can easily examine and analyze works of art past to present and see the progress (or lack there of) that was made.

In this case you can see the similarities in all the movies and notice that nothing really has changed... I love Rocky, but it was drawn out of 6 movies with pretty much the same plot, and same ending.

Project 1 "The Showdown"




This was my first project based off of a bunch of pictures I took. I added and manipulated the audio to give it somewhat of a western feel. I had a lot of fun learning how to use Final Cut, and I think overall this first project came out good.

Critiquing myself, I couldve probably changed the glow to the pictures, but I dont know, I kindve like the feel it gives. Also there are a few parts that seem unclear to me, so I can just imagine what someone watching is thinking.
