The Zootopia Terror

Headphones Recommended
The Zootopia Terror was a horror parody to the original trailer of the Disney movie: Zootopia. I chose this film in particular because I really like the vibrant colors and overall look and feel of the film.  In order to make the trailer itself, I used two different trailers for the movie found on YouTube, and in addition, a "music video" featured in the movie that was located on YouTube as well.

As I made it quite oblivious, the overall suspenseful effect in this trailer is achieved with intense music, and precisely placed sound and video effects.

In order to try my best to adhere to fair use, I heavily altered the video by cutting it up a lot, color grading it, and adding effects to make it more original. Furthermore, it might not be as clear, but I used two different renditions of the same song (a piano version and the original version), in addition to heavy sound effects to alter the original sound of the audio used for this video. You can reference the screenshot below to see just how many audio clips were involved with making this trailer...


Despite this, I still used other people's work, so in the video description, I provided sources to all the content I used to make this video.  The reason we adhere to Fair use is to give the original content creators the ownership they deserve while still allowing secondary creators, like me and you, to use their stuff. A good balance between those two things allows for a thriving creative community.

Do you even need a college education anymore? James Last --- Listen below to the 30 second preview of my upcoming podcast to see what High Point University students think about the true value of a college education in the twenty first century.  Recorded on an actual university campus, students provide an array of answers that might surprise you.  Stayed turned for the full release of this podcast that includes an in-depth look at why College might not be as valuable as one might have thought, and to hear what industry professionals make of this question. This audio podcast was recorded with a Tascam DR-40X audio recorder to capture the true sound of my interviewees voices. The introduction is accompanied by a traditional graduation piece: Pomp and Circumstance by Edward Elgar, to capture the audiences emotions of educational success. The podcast quickly transitions into my street interview answers. Appearances in their respectable order: James Last, Evan Buarer, Rie...

Topic Ideas for Podcast

Idea 1: Getting rich... Slowly? One of my interests is the stock market.  I know, I know,  it sounds really boring. However, what's not boring is this: Money. We live in a society where money talks and where money holds a lot of power. Interestingly, however, research shows us that very few young people understand the stock market, let alone invest money into it. To stage this podcast, I would focus less on the boring specifics of the stock market, and more on the life changing benefits of compound interest and passive income (also known as letting the money work for you).  The intriguing nature of this idea is that it is a great opportunity that most people overlook, I will demonstrate this by 1) interviewing college students about what they know/ think about the stock market. This should illustrate that there is a lack of knowledge about it. 2) I will interview a finance professor and a financial adviser to show how great of opportunity the stock market is.  At t...

Forum 3: Audio Story Components James Last BACKGROUND MUSI C The background music I have chosen for this podcast is a traditional orchestra piece composed by Sir Edward Elgar around the year 1905.  Pomp and Circumstance, informally known as the "graduation song" is a beautifully crafted, emotionally charged piece, that brings the audience back in time to the day of their High School/ College graduation. The purpose of using this piece is to mirror the overall theme of education that runs throughout my podcast. The irony, which I believes makes it effective, is that the happiness and nostalgia associated with this song is contrasted by the grotesque and controversial question: Do you even need a college education any more? NOISE The first part of this recording is of me talking with a large amount of audio noise . As you will notice, the majority of this noise comes from a large outdoor fan.  The second part of this video, which is separ...
