It was created using OpenShot video editor using creative commons resources and homemade actors. Videos from the public domain were sourced from Wikimedia Commons and audio resources were sourced from Wikimedia Commons and CCMixter. Dialogue and narration were recorded using Audacity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Synopsis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goofiest idea was my strongest idea! Hermann and Pierre are two players at a local theater troupe. Hermann has been there longer, but Pierre is a charismatic and kind new lead who commands the respect and admiration of everyone he meets. Hermann seethes and develops a tragicomic plan of sabotage&#8230; but will he have a change of heart?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Production software:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I assembled the entire project in OpenShot, which I developed an early preference for in the course while comparing it to Shotcut. The intuitive method of dragging and dropping images, audio, and video in sequence was perfect for this project which called for juxtaposition. Juxtaposed with the old videos of Shakespeare interpretations were pictures and a video of ceramic clowns as actors, taken by me on an Android phone and edited within OpenShot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the greatest challenges was abandoning the attempt to import oval transparencies into the video editor, instead choosing to use rectangular pictures which were only partially saturated in mono to match the background videos. One of the background videos had green, purple, red, etc. film instead of being entirely in black and white. Like <em>Nosferatu<\/em>, sometimes different colors were used to depict different settings or times of the day. I edited the movies to be uniform in saturation, although they could not be uniform in quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audacity was a good tool for audio recording. I recorded Hermann\u2019s pieces with my webcam mic and Pierre\u2019s pieces with a donner podcard mic which has built in reverb and equalization for variety and clarity of speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aLRMrsT6ndg\">\u201cHermann The Jealous Thespian\u201d<\/a> was created by Paul Griffith and is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Footage_of_Orson_Welles%27s_%22Voodoo%22_Macbeth_(1937).webm\">Footage of Orson Welles&#8217;s &#8220;Voodoo&#8221; Macbeth (1937)<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filmpreservation.org\/preserved-films\/screening-room\/voodoo-macbeth\">National Film Preservation Foundation<\/a> and&nbsp; is licensed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/mark\/1.0\/deed.en\">Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:The_Taming_of_the_Shrew_(1908).webm\">The Taming of the Shrew (1908)<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/item\/2013607055\/\">Library of Congress<\/a> is licensed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/mark\/1.0\/deed.en\">Public Domain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:The_Tempest_(1908).webm\">The Tempest (1908)<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Percy_Stow\">Percy Stow<\/a>\u00a0 is licensed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/mark\/1.0\/deed.en\">Public Domain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Audionautix-com-ccby-renaissance.mp3\">Audionautix-com-ccby-renaissance<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/audionautix.com\/\">Audionautix.com<\/a> is licensed by <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/deed.en\">CC BY 3.0 Deed<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Snowflake_-_Like_Music_(Renaissance).opus\">Snowflake- Like Music (Renaissance)<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/ccmixter.org\/people\/snowflake\/profile\">Snowflake (Emily Richards)<\/a> is licensed by <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/deed.en\">CC BY-SA 3.0 Deed.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:72844_lonemonk_approx-800-laughter-and-clapter-1.wav\">72844 lonemonk approx-800-laughter-and-clapter-1<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/freesound.org\/people\/lonemonk\/packs\/4695\/\">Freesound.org<\/a> is licensed by <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/deed.en\">CC BY 3.0 Deed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dialogue and Narration were recorded in Audacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: My goofiest idea was my strongest idea!
