Here's what I'm doing (at least for now):

Okay, so I dropped the animal idea. A good one, but not for me (at least not now). Too warm and fuzzy for my taste. Which is why I decided to go with death. Yeah, yeah, it seems kind of morbid ('cause it is), but our world (Youtube world included) is SO saturated with death. Music, movies, serial killer followings, people can't get enough of it. Perhaps because media has desensitized us. Or maybe it's just human nature to be curious about things we can't fully comprehend. Well, Youtube and the Internet are full of death-junk. Music videos, movie clips, documentaries, tributes, suicide "notes", spoofs, the list goes on. My goal is to compile and look at this fascination and the hours of video and miles of blogs and forums dedicated to the enigma that is death and dying. It's been around forever, it's just the way people learn and express their thoughts and feelings about it that is changing. I'm interested and excited to see where this goes. Input appreciated :)
Well, here is what I was able to come up with. Unfortunately, my copy of Sony Vegas did not arrive in time for me to use it on this video. However, iMovie did a sufficient job for all intents and purposes.
