Host a Soundhacking party

Posted in Suggestions at 10:35 pm by Ode to Joy

One of the things I used to enjoy doing was watching a movie with friends with the sound turned off.  You and your friends pick characters and make up your own soundtrack, acting out the movie as it is going along with your own script that you create on the fly.  It was kind of a like a do it yourself mystery science 3000 kind of activity.  I call this Soundhacking. 

If you’ve never done it, I would say give it a try.  If you have a digital recorder, you can even tape the session and later synch it up with the video.  There are a couple of movies (most notably It’s A Wonderful life) where the soundtrack is still under copyright protection but the visual aspect is in the public sphere.  So, if you can come up with something funny that you record and synch to the movie, you can even distribute it legally.
