Assignment # The Video Montage Assignment
So I am now posting my Video Monatge assignment. Hopefully I’ve posted it in time to be eligible for the 2006 Oscars. My biggest problem making this video montage was deciding which of the superbly shot, high resolution video clips to choose from. I decided, before hitting the editing room, to create the montage around a song, versus looking at the collection of clips and then deciding what to use for audio in the background. The song I decided to use is a classic right out of the early eighties, ‘I Ran’, by Flock of Seagulls. Now, I vaugly remember this song when it come out. Actually, I don’t remember when it came out (1981), I was only two years old. But my father mentioned he did listen to it when it was first released, so maybe it’s been stuck in my head for the past 24 years. For the younger crowd the song will sound familiar because it was used in a commercial, a couple years back, for a video game, ‘Vice City’ I think the game was. Regardless, it’s a catchy tune that I’m sure will bring back some memories for both Matt and Greg. As far as the creation process goes, I just let the holy spirit work through me when I create my art. I’m really just rambling along now because I’m waiting for the video to upload to the server, just killing some time. And now its done so here it is………
