Hey Everyone,
As I was aimlessly wandering youtube, I decided to check out MysteryGuitarMan's latest videos and came across this video. Check it out!
I chose to put this up here not only for entertainment purposes, but for inspiration. Check out his talent at editing! In the coming weeks we will be editing our own music videos and may need to get some inspiration to keep going. I say, Watch MysteryGuitarMan!
He uses so many different editing technics and tricks something is bound to spark some great idea. Check out some of his other interesting edits.
I hope this sparked some imagination!

Video On Trail - Blogger Edition!
Hey Everyone! Welcome to a special blog posting : Video On Trial!
I'm going to talk about two videos and judge them from an artist point of view. (Aka are they awesome or just not good.)
First up....
California Gurls -Katy Perry
Let me start off by saying that I actually do like this song. However, the video is completely insane and I mean insane in a bad way. First, there is no connection between all the candy other then a sexual one. There seems to be no point to this video other than sexual innuendos. As a viewer I want to see a video that goes along with the song or at least something that makes sense. The only thing good about the video to me was the animation effects and the vibrant colours.
Next up...
Thriller - Micheal Jackson
I chose this as a good video for a few reasons. Although made in a different time, for the time the effects were cutting edge and made people terrified due to the werewolf's face. The story makes sense for the song and the song in its own is just awesome. You can't break this classic. Then just to make this video even better, good old MJ breaks out into the famous Thriller dance. There is a reason why this song is so famous and why everyone knows this dance. The video was good and the story was effective.
Let me know what you think! Leave a comment and join this Video On Trial.

Movie Trailers
Hey everyone,
And here is my version:
I tried to play up the connection between some of the characters as well as change the mood to a more light hearted action film. The original trailer gives off thriller type mood so going for a more light mood drastically changed it. I had a bit of trouble finding a song to go along with mood I wanted to portray, but in the end I think it worked out nicely. I used one of Beethoven's musical pieces to match my trailer as well as keep it legal. It is illegal to use current artist's songs without their consent. Although this is only a school project, I wanted to honor that industry rule. All the sound effects I used were also royalty free or made through foley. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to give any constructive criticism!

The McGurk Effect
Hey Everyone,
As we are currently creating our own audio tracks for our re-created movie trailers, I thought of this interesting video I saw once. This video is about The McGurk Effect which is about our senses of sight and sound. In a nutshell, this effect is makes you aware of your brain's sight perception. When you hear someone making a sound, you recognize not only the sound, but how the sound is made. This includes small things that you don't even realize you are picking up. For example, how the lips are moving. The cool thing about knowing this is when you apply the McGurk Effect. Lets say the person you are watching is making the same sound, but moving their lips in a way that you know creates a different sound, suddenly you don't hear the actual sound but rather the one that those lip movements should be making! This video demonstrates this phenomenal occurence. Also, no matter how much you know about this effect, you can't over ride your sight perception! This can really show the power of sight and sound in art. One little change can create a whole illusion. Check it out :)
