Blog #7 Freaks and Geeks Imovie project

So for my Imovie.  Which I had a great time working with.  I chose to take a new artist that I like and make a music video for one of his songs.  His name is Donald Glover.  His hip hop moniker is the Childish Gambino.  He is a newer guy on the scene.  Don also works on the TV show Community.  Which is a show that is really blowing up right now over there on NBC.  

The project was fun and I can't wait to do more stuff with it.  It was just really rewarding adding in the photo's.  I have seen people do video's like this before on YouTube.  Where they run the slide show over the video.  But I have never seen it done like this before.  I had the idea that with almost every word he said.  I would add a picture that correlates with that specific word.  It really had no common theme with the video.  Hip Hop is all about word play and the usage of words and different sounds that they make.  So that's what I was doing with the photo's.  I used word play behind his word play.  I was very pleased with the end result.  It goes a little fast and I was worried that people might not be able to register what I was trying to do in the background of the song.  But I gave it a couple test runs with some of my friends and they all gave rave reviews. 

 Maybe you be the judge.  I am having difficulty putting it on YouTube right now. I wonder if it is because of some kind of copyright infringement thing.  I'll keep working on it.

Donald Glover already has a video for this song.  

Which I love.  I love his energy he goes really hard in the video.  I also got to see him perform live  - where I work and his live show is just the same.  Really high octane the whole time.  I got to meet with him after the show.  He struck me as just a really good dude.  That was very humble about everything currently going on with him.

Sincerely
