So...creating this mashup took me a little over eight hours. No joke. I became obsessed with working on it from 5pm this afternoon till now, 1 am. I had a lot of trouble importing and exporting data rather than actually creating the video. For some reason Itunes wouldn't let me export the songs and video i wanted, so I had to find another way around it (i searched the internet for hours, made various copies of the files in different formats, but ultimately ended up downloading limewire, which i hate,to get the versions. I think my issues had something to do with my computer crash last week-not everything is running smoothly anymore. so after spending 6.99 on itunes for songs and video that i cant even export, i ended up using fuzzy choppy illegal versions. I spent forever trying to add text, but ultimately could never get it lined up right so i nixed all the text in the end.

but...

on a happier note...
these are two of my favorite songs, and I thought that since they are so similar, I would put them together in a mashup! you might recognize the song that comes first--Yael Naim's "new soul" (its the mac air commercial song with the computer in the envelope) the other song is "Fidelity" by Regina Spector. I tried to get the picture and music lined up, and spent a VERY long time editing the transitions.

I think i would have liked this assignment if one, i had better software, and two, i didnt get so stressed about having everything perfect. i would have saved myself a lot of time if i decided to just use different songs and video, but for some reason i was really stubborn and wouldnt quit till I found them.

maybe later on in the semester i'll have figured out how to have added text, and make the mashup exactly how i wanted it to look like.
