Original Assignment<\/a> (4 stars)<\/p>\n

Actors\/Actresses change roles and characters all the time. It’s always cool to see them progress and grow throughout the years (if they make it that far). Some make it, and some don’t, that’s just the way Hollywood is.<\/p>\n

I was originally going to use Mark-Paul Gosselaar as an example for this assignment. He is most known for his role as Zack Morris in Saved By The Bell, <\/em>and is still acting to this day. I had to switch actors because I could not find any decent clips of the show on youtube (they have all been remixed). My next choice was Tommy Chong, most known for the classic stoner duo, Cheech and Chong<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I picked him because I recently saw him competing on a show my mother was watching, called Dancing With The Stars<\/em>. It’s crazy to see someone his age still busting moves on the dance floor. I kept thinking to myself, “I wonder if he gets high before every live televised dance”? After viewing some more of his dances from the show on youtube, I must say, he held his own for someone who has no dancing experience.<\/p>\n

\"Editing<\/a><\/p>\n

Editing in iMovie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After searching through clips from both shows, I picked what I needed, and downloaded them as MP4 files, thanks to\u00a0KeepVid<\/a>. After importing into iMovie, I cut out certain clips and meshed them together to display the past and the future. The video starts off with a clip of Chhech and Chong smoking in the van, and then dissolves into a dance routine with Chong and his partner on the dancefloor (Cheech was actually a part of the routine at the beginning). This assignment reminded me of that show, “Where Are They Now”<\/em>? Enjoy the final clip below.<\/p>\n
