Music Video - Jump!

Th Event:
Ervyn's birthday

The Output:
I got the idea of using my favorite TV show Glee's song "Jump" as the background song for all of Ervyn's jump shots, which he has a lot of. We shot some videos of us singing and jumping in the couple of hours he was gone for mass and I quickly put this video together using iMovie in between cooking spaghetti and getting dressed for that night's Christmas party.

Music Video - That's Our Goal

The Event:
Tyne's birthday

The Output:
First we recorded our voices singing our revised version of Shayne Ward's "That's Our Goal" then we mounted my camera on one of the pipes near the ceiling (thanks to my wonderful spider tripod, my best investment ever) and got a long shot of us dancing and lip-synching to our own recording. Then I imported everything to iMovie, detached the audio of the first recording, then overlapped it with the second video. Then I cut up the video into several parts and edited the Ken Burns to make the footage zoom in, out, sideways, etc.

That's Our Goal

You know where we come from (Zamboanga)
You know our story
You know why were standing here
Tonight
Please don't laugh
Although we look funny
Were here for you
Just sit tight

Well we know weve acted foolish
But we promise you theres more
We've finally found that something
Worth performing for

We are here to say we love you
We are here to say we care
Were here to say were ready
That we've finally thought of you
We're not here to let your love go
Were not giving up, dear Tyne
Were here to greet you happy birthday
That's our goal

Please don't cry
We know were funny
We can't eat without you
Drink without you
Sing without you

Well I know weve acted foolish
But we promise you theres more
Theres more
