28 Days Later Crack




    For this assignment, I failed to find a pinpoint definition to a 'crack' video. Doing some research on Youtube, I found a mix of two things: First, videos of movie scenes being synced to music or dialogue from other movies for stylistic effect, and the second and more abundant kind of video were of movies being synced to music or dialogue for comedic effect - with nearly all of all of these using TV static to cut between its sequences (similar to the TV series Robot Chicken). Wanting to try something new, I decided to do a little bit of both, and as such I took a horror movie - 28 Days Later - and synced it to lighthearted music that didn't fit the scene at all. When working on the finishing touches of this video I had actually discovered that my idea wasn't too original, as other users on Youtube had actually done the same thing with other horror movies. Nonetheless, I was satisfied with how the final product came out.



Enjoy - Not recommended for the faint of heart however.

Experimenting with Song Editing

    For this Audio Assignment, I decided to take one of the songs that had been stuck in my head as of late, and experiment with Audacity, editing the song to make it sound to my liking.     I first took the entire song and reversed the intro, chorus, and outro separately - reversing the entire song would cause the outro to play first and the intro last, which wasn't what I wanted. I then altered the equalization settings on the song to bring out the bass and vocals, and make the background instrumentals quieter, but sharper. I added a slight soft distortion effect to the entire song, as well as boosted the bass and treble a little bit more, and voila. If you're curious on the name of the original song, it's the title backwards.

Week 4 in Summary

    This week I experimented with taking photos and looking deeper into different visual works, from the daily creates to the readings. I found it entertaining to get to know my 'inner art student' this week, attempting to be creative with the different assignments.     My work for this week:     http://ds106lachdown.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-visuals-of-storytelling.html     http://ds106lachdown.blogspot.com/2017/09/its-bird-its-gargoyle.html     http://ds106lachdown.blogspot.com/2017/09/who-said-whaaaa.html     #tdc2081 Flawless, if I do say so myself pic.twitter.com/9sGENFh8FM — Lachdown (@Lachdown3) September 21, 2017 #tdc2082 This morning I bet my friend that he couldn't make SPAM taste good for me.
