Projector Party - Final

I've been wanting to try an overlay of videos for a while so I thought this projector project was the perfect opportunity. My neighborhood had a Christmas light competition so I decided to go around and film different light displays. A couple of months ago I saw a video made by the Discovery Channel where they visualized what would happen if an asteroid hit the earth. I decided the lights and the asteroid video would be great to overlay. I also thought the Christmas lights and asteroid would be a good way to represent the apocalyptic/holiday theme of the project. I layered both videos and then lowered the opacity to get the overlay effect. I also found a light display that read "Peace on Earth" and thought that was a poignant way to end my video.

For my audio I used one line from Band of Horses' song "The End's Not Near". The line is in the middle of my audio piece. For the intro and conclusion of my audio piece is a part of "The End's Not Near", but played in reverse. I thought the song and especially the line I used, "The end's not near, it's here, hallelujah spread the cheer" fit well with the theme of the project.
