Alas, I have begun the first stages of the Skype Film project.
It took me several passes to get an idea solidified. At first I anticipated writing out a script about a boy who is trying to Skype with the girl of his dreams but she gets bogged down in a conference chat with him and like 4 other friends.
Then as I thought through the kind of process that would involve (filming the skit 6 times anchored off one character's dialogue and hoping it would sync up in the end) I began to consider other things to film. By far the most difficult part about a Do It Yourself (DIY) film is finding a subject matter that s interesting enough to make the film about.
In class today I had an idea: Make a layered music video.
How, you ask? I would begin the film by laying down a simple track with my voice (something simple like a bass beat or something). I would render that and put the sound on youtube as a video. The next person who helped me would watch/listen to the youtube link with my voice and during a Skype conversation with me, add a beat on top of mine.
The idea would be to have at least 5 or 6 layers of beat to create a Skype...techno song? Yeah, something like that.
If you would like to help me in this endeavor and get your voice added to musical awesomeness add me on Skype. Do it now. alan.marsala (the one in San Diego)
We'll see how it turns out! I have a tendency to aim big and downscale as I go so bare with me.
Your friendly neighborhood giant,
