Audio Replacement & Sound Effects Project

Using sound effects, and music - REPLACE the music and sound from the Star Wars Throne Room Scene.  Here is the scene that you will begin with. For the most part the sound of Chewy and R2D2 are not the final cut used in the 1977 classic, nor is there any background music.   For the project you are to replace the sound for Chewy, R2D2,  and add background music. You may make other changes as well but those are the minimum.

Beginning Monday October 13 - Quotes Video

In this video you are going to continue with the goal of timing  images to a beat of the background music. I would like for you to incorporate images of quotes and images that visually bring the quote meaning to life. Find quotes and images that make one stop and ponder their meanings. What makes this project successful is the use of bizarre images and deep deep thought provoking quotes from the many brilliant people that have existed in the world throughout time.

In this project you should be shooting for about the same time limit as the recent music video project....No less than two (2) minutes.....Include titles at the beginning and at the end of the project Your name must appear on one of the titles. Add some timely transitions to add visually to the project.   Give credit to the song creator.

You can theme your quotes, I.E.  project on love, relationships, strength etc. or you can go random. with wide range of quotes and images. The key is to make people think!

Here is a sample from a student from a few years ago..... Entitled "Life"

I like this video for the following reasons.  First,  the music was new and fresh at the time. The images are appealing because they are unusual. Where can one find a bunch of nuns smoking cigarettes? And..... many of the other images had the same unusual quality about them.  The quotes used make one think about their own life. There are unlimited possibilities for this project.
