GarageBand Project 3 – The Prelinger Remix

Using GarageBand, you will create your own 30-second music track for the video “Prelinger_Remix_Small”. You will create your sound using both your own digital audio recordings, Garageband's loops and sounds from http://www.archive.org.

You must manipulate sounds from the original enough to claim them as your own, that is, you may use NO MORE than 5 contiguous seconds from any given clip. Layering, cutting, and distorting them can also aid in this.

Be aware of the pacing of edits and how your audio relates. This footage is all black and white; how can you add “color” to the footage with sound? The sequence of images is seemingly random; but how can you create a meaning or ambience with sound? Try to avoid using the loops to make a "canned" sound. Try to use your own sounds and ones from archive.org to create a truly original and stand-out-from-the-crowd piece!
