A video mashup is any video which as has been altered, edited, or re-ordered in order to alter its original use.
This mashup of video footage from Sesame Street along with the audio of Godfather is a great example. Martin Scorcese's Sesame Street
For this project you will create a video/audio mashup of not less than 4 minutes. You can get video footage from wherever you would like. There is a great deal of public domain footage readily available. For Tuesday, I would like you selected public domain video or bring in video clips that you made to begin editing and mixing using iMovie. Archive.org is a great source for public domain video. Download the Quicktime version of the files if available, otherwise the MPEG version of the file.
Find public domain audio to use. Archive.org also has a ton of audio clips. You can also take the audio from public domain videos. Or make your own audio from your own recordings or within Garageband.
For Monday, you should have some of the video and audio clips that you will use. Monday & Wednesday will be spent working on the project in class. This a a creative/art piece. It can be really nutty.
Some student samples from previous terms:
THE MASHUP MUST TRANSFORM THE MEANING OF THE SOURCE MATERIALS!!!!
You can't make a fanboy tribute film, you can't make a music video, you can't just put random music with random footage.....

I suggest that you include a title and credits at the end which reference the video and sound that you used.
OLD STUFF IGNORE:
Last class I showed you how to export your layer based frame animation as a Quicktime Movie (.mov extension) and upload it to your blog. I then showed you how to drag that file into GarageBand to "score" it, which is a fancy way of saying we added sound to it. We then selected Share, Export to Disk, and selected Full Quality Video. This will preserve the quality of the video as when it came into GarageBand. It is important to note that GarageBand doesn't allow you to edit your video in any way. So, the video must be in its final form before being brought into GarageBand.
