The Other Projects in Brady’s Editing Class, Now Available on YouTube!

Big news! Not this week, but the week after that is Finals Week at Missouri State University, the university of which I am a current student. And as our Finals Week approaches, I proudly announce the publication of my other projects for the class Editing for Film & Television, commonly called just Editing for short. These particular projects were after my spring break. They are all now available to view on YouTube and here at www.bradymarshall.com.

I also enhanced the qualities of another few old videos downloaded from YouTube. Yes, also for my Editing class. Because the Coronavirus pandemic prompted the university to move all seated classes (all of the four classes I was taking were seated) online for the second half of the semester, Bobby Lewis, my professor in that class, provided a list of projects of which each student had to select to do two after spring break. Strangely, he permitted doing even some other project, with something to do with video editing, that was not on the list, which is why I chose to enhance the qualities of another few old videos for my second post-spring-break project.

The first is, yes, yet another old television commercial from overseas. One for Baci Perugina that aired in the product’s native Italy in 1990, from ADLORD’s YouTube channel. Now, Perugina is an Italian brand of chocolate, and Baci is the name for chocolate kisses under the Perugina brand. (Fun fact: the Italian word “baci” literally means “kisses”! This concept is similar to the famous American candy Hershey’s Kisses.) This commercial looks and sounds pretty for an old-fashioned television commercial in 1990.

The other two videos are each a little something different: the opening to a copyrighted videocassette from 1996. Yes, copyrighted! One of those videos is the classic family film The Wizard of Oz, digitally mastered by THX, the other the Sesame Street home video Elmocize, which I used to have with my family in my early childhood. And I must admit, both of these videos look and sound like a beautiful, relaxed flow for a series of video files between the start of the cassette and the start of the feature, for the 1990s. The opening to Elmocize includes the first Sesame Street home video and audio promotion under Sony Wonder, the distributor of Sesame Street home videos from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. And in my opinion, it looks and sounds beautiful and relaxed for the revolution of Sesame Street home videos being distributed by Sony Wonder for the first time.

O, and one last thing. I just began to change the privacy settings for the videos I have posted on my YouTube channel from Unlisted to Public, simply so that any of you who have visited my website before can finally see the work I have done on YouTube as well as on this website. I had been leaving the privacy settings on videos I posted as Unlisted to avoid consequences related to a copyright claim. This is because the first video I posted on YouTube, which I had created for a class I took at Missouri State University, had a copyright claim for containing copyrighted footage. YouTube therefore blocked that video from viewing in some countries. Luckily for me, I’ve never had a copyright strike, which could really mean legal trouble. On the other hand, some of my projects do contain some copyrighted content, music in particular, all of which I cited.

And as for the old video quality enhancements, on each of my modified versions I posted a link to the original version of the video in the description below, so you can seek the differences for yourself. Even on this website, I provide a side-by-side view for each old video I have modified after my Senior Project in high school, for which I aimed to modify old videos as such.
