HOW TO MAKE A VIDEO USING THE AUDIO FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S VIDEO

Step 1

 

Determine the nature of your video.  In this case, we are showing what it would look like to casually cruise through our quaint curmudgeon community.

 

Step 2

 

Find an appropriate song on You Tube.  In this case, the song must have a "neighborhood" theme.

 

Step 3

 

Find someone who can sing "It's a Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood" with a voice that is better than Mr. Rogers' voice.  In this case, we found a girl with a ukulele.



 

 

When insomnia awakens you at 3:30 a.m., it's okay to work in your bathrobe.  The digital voice recorder in my hand is recording the girl with the ukulele through the remote speakers on the middle shelf.

 

 

Step 4

 

Determine a way to secure a camera to a moving vehicle.  In this case, three pieces of masking tape were used to fasten a mini-tripod to the hood of a pickup.



 

 

I must confess that it felt a little weird driving through the neighborhood like this.

Step 5

Drive along every street in the neighborhood, no faster than the maximum speed limit of 15 mph, with the camera running.  In this case, the video speed needed to be increased 4x so that the cruise and the song would end at the same time, which was barely over one minute.

Step 6

Transfer the other person's audio from their video to the audio for your video and post it on You Tube.

And that's how you do it.
