I decided to do the Techno Viking Music Video mashup assignment.

I figured the Techno Viking clip would fit well in a music video that included people dancing. I immediately thought of Cobra Starship’s “Send My Love to the Dancefloor, I’ll See You in Hell.” I’ve been a fan of them for a long time and I really love their early music. This music video, especially, speaks to not taking yourself too seriously and taking time to have fun, of which is something I often need to be reminded.

I downloaded the Techno Viking and Cobra Starship clips using Clip Converter. I separated the audio from the video in the Cobra Starship clip, decided where I wanted to insert the Techno Viking, and split the clip. I then added in the Techno Viking clip and trimmed it down and muted the audio. I then had to trim the Cobra Starship video so the audio matched up and the video wasn’t longer than the audio. Finally, I added in titles to the beginning and ending of the video. Then I saved it as a file and uploaded it to YouTube. Here is what the editing of the clips in iMovie looked like:

Here is the final product:
