about

This is my entry for Jacksfilms' 48 hour Film Festival! Was super fun to write, record, and edit this whole thing in 2 days. We were required to include the line of dialogue "That's a spicy meataballa", and include his green screen footage in some way.

lyrics

Hell yeah
It's time
Spend my weekend writing music - it's cheaper than therapy
We need
One line
In a sketch, music video, or parody
It might seem impossible
But you said from the start
"I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart"

I'll make mine as airtight as a condom
But there's a 3% chance you've got a problem
The biggest issue that I've got is
I don't know how green screen works
I would've learned, but it's just my luck, shit
I've only got 2 days, so fuck it
I guess for now this is what you're stuck with
Amateurish editing

Yeah, so I'm just gonna put the footage here. Does that work? It better. That's all I got

How's that?
I'm sorry
That I'm not better than the editors out there
That know
This stuff
I wish that I had been better prepared
But my strong suit was never being technical, not at all
An out of work musician making shitty videos
Now that's a spicy meataballa

This is where the green screen would appear, though
My PC crashes every time I use Premiere Pro
Before this festival, you were my biggest hero
Now you're like, top 5
Because of all of this, you've made me see
That there's a thousand people out there who are better than me
At doing something as simple as a chroma key
I don't know what that means

I could use some tips or tricks that you know
I wanna improve, have a better end result to show
Leave your answers in the comments below
I'll use them next time that I make a video

Jack, I'm not positive you realize
That this was the release of Monster Hunter Rise
I know that life is full of compromises
But this one seems kinda cruel
Instead of that, I'm learning that I'm not that smart
I'm finding out that editing is really hard
Like holy shit, why did I choose to take part? Like,
How do you make movement stop
Everything is poorly cropped
Oh god, please don't be mean
I just don't understand green screen
