Eulogy for Robert F Kennedy video - Final

Type 2 - Journal 13

I found the presentation, Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangle by the law, very interesting. It was both insightful, as well as humorous. The issue of copyright vs. creativity is one that it very important. I can see why artists would want their work to be copyrighted, but I can also see how other people could use anothers work creatively to make something of their own. I think that Lessig's idea of balancing the two extremes by making work available more freely for non-commercial use. This idea would be successful because as long as you are not profiting from your use of another's work you should be able to use it for your own enjoyment (and the enjoyment of others). By using a popular song and setting it to images you are creating something uniquly your own, and are not doing any harm. The harm comes from using the popular song to profit without paying the creator their dues. Lessig's idea will encourage creativity of the youth, as well as protect the original creators work...and it sounds like a great idea to me.

Type 2 - "Final" video

Here's my "final" version. I'm thinking of adding the speech name and speaker to the beginning or made at the end. Perhaps the date Robert F. Kennedy was shot at the beginning? I think it needs something there. Let me know what you think...and anything else you have comments on. Thanks!

Eulogy for Robert F Kennedy

Here's my video... I have the whole speech in there except for the last sentence. My audio messes up when it gets to that point so I've been working on fixing it, but not having any luck so far, but any suggestions on what I have so far would be much appreciated. =)
