For my video assignment, I’m going to keep chugging forward with the idea I had for the short video clips we made in our last class. I want to use robots and turntables to create some kind of remix, most likely a song of sorts. I will utilize the different sounds the robots make along with different music as the audio for my video. I hope to honor the late and great David Bowie in my video by using one of his songs, probably either Space Oddity or Under Pressure. I plan on using turntable footage I have already found that is creative commons and add in famous robot footage that I’ll most likely find on YouTube, like that of BB8, Robby the Robot, and Noo-noo (the Teletubbies robot). I’ll probably rip the audio tracks off of YouTube videos as well. The kind of reaction I’m looking for with this video is one of nostalgic joy and the usual amazement that accompanies someone watching something that seems out of this world. I want my video to take my viewers on an adventure where all their old robot buddies from their childhood and beyond get together and throw down a nasty beat. I still don’t know much about video editing techniques yet, but I know I’m going to need to learn how to lay a different audio track over a video track so that I can have the song in the background at all times. I plan on cutting up different scenes with robots in them to make it look like they’re all collaborating together to make a song. If I have enough time, I’ll try to have different video footage even for repeated parts of the song. I also hope to mess around in some of the after effects and see if I can find a way to fade my video in and out to go with the beat to my song. Hopefully it all works out for the best.
