#3. Storytelling Lip-Syncs/ Voice Over:
Awhile, ago I discovered "bored shorts,"{I'm sure it's something you've all discovered a long time ago} - if not, it is Youtube channel where kids write & record audio stories and adults reenact the stories while lip-syncing the original audio. They have been around since about 2011 and are still going strong. My favourite video so far is this “Salesman” clip, but see also “Principal’s Office” (the older material being the best). But for a more contemporary video:The point is this is a great idea for you to try another video technique. It certainly doesn't have to be a kids voice dubbed for an adult. You could change gender. You could lay your voice over a child's voice. There are many possiblities.
I will leave you to be responsible for writing, narrating and recording audio stories and then have someone else lip-sync the video in creative ways. Or perhaps you can come up with a different idea. This could provide an on ramp for some great collaboration and create a project that will be humorous and fun.
Assignment:
You can use your phones to record video and upload it to iMovie to edit. You can also find some footage of someone speaking and use a voice over from someone else. It is important to keep it relatively short ( 20 seconds to 1 minute absolute max).
