Split Screen Project (& odds & ends)

So -- on Monday's class, we'll catch up with the outstanding tutorials and the composite photoshop drawings. We really need to clear these assignments out.

And, as a start to the coursework looking at digital media for projection (as opposed to print), you have a Split Screen assignment, also due on Monday. You should use the youtube doubler to make a mash-up of two videos currently hosted on youtube. Remember that juxtaposition is key to this sort of approach -- how do the two videos relate to each other, when they're presented simultaneously, side-by-side. Connections can be on a formal level (shape, color, rhythm) or a content level (having one video "commenting" on the video beside it).

Please paste the URL of your doubled video in the comments section of this blog post; if you can't post comments, then email me the URL at my school address.

Here's the doubler:
