Video Projects



This was the first time I really dabbled in iMovie. I have worked with Final Cut briefly but I never felt completely comfortable with it. I now learned how to properly adjust and combine videos using iMovie HD and iMovie 9.

For my first project I created a video mash up based on the infectious activity parkour. 
Parkour is the sport of moving, trying to get from point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Office actually created a spoof about parkour, it's one of my favorite episodes. In my mash up, I took on the "serious" side of parkour, with news casters commenting on the dangers of parkour and how hardcore it can be. I mashed it with classical music to pose the non threatening side of the activity. I play with juxtaposition in the comparison of dangerous free running and classical, fluent music.


        


In my documentary, I created a New Paltz/Scranton mix of the popular show The Office. I created my own introduction and included some of the shows characters as well as some of our classes students and teacher. With a guest appearance by Aaron Knochel, this video comments on Tim Leffens lecture and concepts. Enjoy!
