Response to Glenn's Question

1. Have you ever had to do a project that included sound, such as a movie or song. If so, were you conscious of the sound being used or was it simply that it was there?

For an English class, twice. I've made two movies. It's amazing how much more involved students get when there is the movie or song project. I remember devoting my entire weekend to making the movie, "Transcendentalist Hunter," and being thrilled rather than pissed off, which I would be if I spent all weekend writing a paper.

Sound was probably the most fun part. From the gunshots, to the slow motion sloggy sounds, to the soundracks, adding sound was an integral component that really made the project feel alive. For the second movie I made, I actually wrote my own soundtrack, recorded it, and exported it into the movie. Not often you see someone get writing, directing, acting, editing, and Music By credits. Ahem. Yeah, but I did. And it was glorious. Now where's my seven figure contract and bottle of spring water?
