Metatext:
I got the idea for this project by previous .gif images I had seen in forums using Lord of The Rings Characters. So that was the premise, except I wanted to do a Star Wars themed version of it. To make the project fall under the criteria "Write what cannot be written", I decided to theme it with a time paradox in which luke goes back in time and sees his father as he was before he was mutilated. To make the project collaborative I worked with my two good friends Alex, and Michael. I was took on the character of Luke, Michael took on the character of Anakin, while Alex took on the character of Obi-Wan and Arnold. I also created the narrative text segments. The idea to use Arnold was a collaboration between myself and Alex, who have a fascination with the governator, and enjoy his outrageous action movies like commando from the early 90s. This section too played into the "Write what cannot be written" segment of the prompt for Project 4. The idea that there was time paradox in star wars is almost laughable, but having Arnold Shwarzenegger make a guest appearance is absolutley ludicrous.
The project was done over a week span due to conflicting schedules. I then put the text together in Power point, and saved the slides as jpegs. From there I imported the jpegs into windows movie maker. The Sound was actually taken from an application from my iphone, which I held up to my computer mike and recorded in audacity. The application was called lightsabre, and not only was I able to use the iconic star wars music I was also able to use the lightsabre noises. I think that this turned out especially well I really like the way it turned out, and I feel that it turned out a lot better than my first experience using Windows Movie Maker.
