For my main 670 project, I have created a website thehumanmicrophone.com. This is an audio blog which features sound-bytes that I recorded in conversational settings. Check out the site, it is a work in progress, any feedback you can give would be appreciated.

Sleep In Heavenly Peace!

I was going to make a short video about a chromium plating plant, that is being sued for illegal toxic dumping, in Willits California - the town I grew up in. But, because I have been feeling so tired and overworked lately, I decided to make this little ode to sleep instead. So kick back, relax and enjoy this silly little video, and stay tuned for the Willits/Remco video.



The video was edited using Eyespot, and the audio was recorded using Odeo, an online digital audio recorder. Odeo works very easily, just remember to speak loudly into the mic!

Kiss Me, SOG!!

Eyespot.com is the online video editing tool with which I made this video. It took me quite a long time to make it, I think I went a bit overboard with the symbolism of it all. The tune, by They Might Be Giants, is not the happiest of songs, but I think the lyrics are hilarious! I spent most of my time on this video searching for usable free content, uploading the clips, and trimming the sections I wanted. The actual mixing of the mash-up-montage, and adding music, was quite easy using Eyespot. I recommend the website, for entertainment purposes, just remember not to work with clips longer than five minutes.
