As much as I disliked my music clip, I enjoyed making this video mashup with it. I turned this 25 minute informative mining video into something that worked well with my altered sounds. I enjoyed the overlay of the video as well as the "effects" and animations that it involved. I kept parts silent on purpose to (hopefully) lead to a bit of suspense as to what may be coming next. I wanted to keep it simple, since the first two mash ups I made seemed horribly cluttered and way out of the ball park. It's not always the smooth transition that I wanted, but I think it became something fun and interesting once it was finally put together.
I used a mix of windows media player and FileLab to create this thing, it was a bit rough going at first, which is why this third and final bit are what the masses are going to be able to see. I played around with a lot of the transitions but didn't care for any of them until I accidentally overlapped my video, immediately that was my favorite and I kind of stuck to it. Timing with the music was a little tricky, but as I said, by round three I figured out how I wanted it to mash like.
I would definitely use this again if I ever wanted to make another video. It takes time and patience for sure, but it's definitely a fun thing to do. I even think I'll bring my boy in on the next one :)
