evanoah sea invited me to participate in the latest clipdub challenge using footage from an old 1956 GM promotional film titled "Design for Dreaming."

After watching the film I knew immediately that the ABBA song "Money, Money, Money" would be perfect for the soundtrack. I laid the audio down, started some editing, and it was coming along pretty darn good.

But then.

Somewhere along the way I decided to scrap the song, start over, and go with something a little more... well... unexpected.

  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    All the thanks go to you, man! I would've never attempted to do this without your little nudge. Did you notice I included you in my credits? ;-)
  • evanoah sea☆ plus 10 months ago

  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Thanks again for all your generous comments.
    P.S.
    I'm glad I scrapped ABBA too.

    Wow!
    you had some luck, I read the words ABBA and Money -
    I just decided to click further when I read "scrap the song". That was some kind of artful ;-) I nearly missed this VERY NICE ONE of the project.
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    That's called the old "bait and switch." Hook 'em in with hopes of ABBA and then hit 'em with Terminator. Works every time!

    Thanks for watching. :-)

    This is total genius!!

    Bravo with a standing ovation!!!

    Wowie!!!
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Thanks so much, Dan. I don't know if I'd call it genius. But, hey, I'll take it! After watching all of the submissions before mine, I can say that yours was easily one of my favorites. :-)
  • Dan Huston plus 10 months ago
    Thanks for that genius man!!
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago

    Nice edit Clan! Made me laugh and you hit all the right beats. Very odd mix of old and new. It's like its own genre. Very bizarre.
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Hahaha! You know, as I uploaded this I wondered if you would A) watch it, and B) have anything to say about it. I always look forward to your comments. It's almost like what goes through my head is, "If Jared likes it, it's good." So let's see... "laugh" "odd" "bizarre". Cool! I think I nailed it! :-)

    Wow, you're mastering it ! Sarah Connor has changed. Impressive work !
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Awesome! Glad you liked it Remyyy. Thanks for helping to put this challenge together. It was a blast.
  • Remyyy plus 10 months ago
    Thanks Evanoah Sea, I didn't do anything, ahah ! Really cool you've enjoyed making it.

    This was really creative. I was disappointed you didn't do ABBA until I hit play. Then I knew everything would be okay. Great job.
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Trust me. It was hard scrapping the work I put into the ABBA mix. But at the end of the day, I think Terminator wins. Thanks, Ben.

    P.S.
    Brit-Brit 4evaH!

    Inspiration for me to do another...is that allowed...hee!

    Awesome!
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Wow! What can I say? I'm flattered. I thought I was the only one that watched my own stuff multiple times. ;-) I don't think anyone would complain if you did another one!
  • Dan Huston plus 10 months ago

    Nice, nice, very nice editing!
    God bless you for making it and not using ABBA.
    It reminded me of the suspense in The Dark Knight trailers, very well done.
  • Clan McCloud plus 10 months ago
    Hahaha! I didn't realize how many ABBA haters there are out there! Well...you're welcome for scrapping ABBA. Hmmm... Dark Knight trailers. Maybe I'll lay that down for the next clipdub!
  • Stefano Dooijes 10 months ago
    Cool. I'm always interested in your stuff.
    Oh and you have no idea how much ABBA haters there are..never understood why the Mamma Mia movie is so popular..
    I just like 'Dancing Queen' and that's all..

    Excellent....the remodelling of the old film stock and trailer rehash look and sound great.

    This short video demonstrates just how powerful, short punchy effects and visuals can be.

    I am just starting to break into this territory....it's a real blast. TRANSITION below:

    This was a fun little experimental project for me to work on. Hopefully the fine folks at the ClipDub Channel will post another challenge soon.
