I think that's why I chose the thumbnail with my hand in it. The realistic surprise is better. As for the tilt, it wasn't intentional because I couldn't level it. I wanted to prop it on a little table, but I liked it better this way.

You could say that. It was real easy, and I'm certainly not the most innovative person when it comes to this kind of stuff. After filming the miniatures, used Final Cut to edit it. The mexican hat dance footage and this clip are then set to a composite filter called "screen." Of course resized the prelinger footage so that it was small enough to fit in the television, and then cropped the left and right sides of it. I don't even know how to overlay two videos without making the one on top translucent, but it doesn't matter in this case. I'm only learning. I've been using iMovie for years so it's nice to try something different.

sony vegas has a simple tool for this well done my man.

Damn technology. Praise you.

Thanks. Considering I'm working on building a set for a claymation, this took about as long as it is to watch. Ha, actually most of the time went into finding a video to put on the TV and editing it.

I just got it! So funny.

This is totally rad, btw.

I hope you got it.

The song is by a band called The Billy Nayer Show and it's off of their album "The Villain That Love Built."

Thank you.

Much obliged!

thank you kindly.

Glad you liked it, JD.

Thanks SteveR. That's what I thought too. The tv thing came first, then I had to find something to "watch." I guess that clipdub would have never happened without the tv to watch it on. Hmmm... There's an underlying truth behind this.

No, you are!

Thanks, Dotty.

Thanks! For something that kind of just came together in editing, I'm amazed by its wide appeal on here.

heh yeah, well it has a certain quirky charm about it that i really liked :)

Your enthusiasm is appreciated.
