Well, with this project I went a bit less abstract. The reason for that was the volume of videos I found that had opposite ideas were overwhelming. It also struck me as ironic that such a heated and important philosophical debate was also the brunt of main stream comedy. I wanted this video to really reflect the contradictions, pettiness and seriousness that role themselves into this issue.
To find my videos, I began with google videos. I was surprised to discover that many of the ones I found (that looked very promising) had been removed. Mostly, they had "timed out" and were no longer legal under the copyright. (Yet another irony?) Google videos left me frustrated so I moved onto TED and then to YouTube.
I gathered all of my materials and placed them in an order to reflect the point/counterpoint concept.
Aesthetically, I was frustrated with the program because I could not find a way to adjust the timings of the transitions so they are way too long. I also was not able to add music in the way I had hoped. Self-assessment? I believe my concept was conveyed but could have done so with a bit more polish and "flare" had I found ways around my technical difficulties.
I hope you enjoy anyway!
