Shakespeare/Sonnet Collab

tori made a wonderful video for David Hyde Pierce's reading of one of Shakespeare's sonnets.  This reminded me that Shakespeare is public domain, and rich for remixing!


 


So, what should you add to this collab?  You could...


 


Record yourself reading a Shakespearean sonnet.


Remix some of Shakespeare's text into new records. (Record readings of them!  Rewrite a scene and act it out.)


Write/draw/animate something based on characters from one of his plays.


Write your own sonnet.


Make a Shakespeare in 30 Seconds video and hit two collabs with one stone! (Turn your fav play into a 30 second video...or a tiny story!)


 


Etc. etc. etc.

Since tori did her lovely sonnet video, and then amysz started the sonnet collab, I've been wanting to do something with this sonnet, which is my favorite.


I really hope this vid conveys the message I wanted to get across - that you are beautiful even if you're not "perfect" and you will be loved and cherished and someone will think you're perfect even if you're not a supermodel.


A big thank you to the ladies to provided REsource videos.. I know it takes a lot of courage to go on camera w/o make-up so I just wanted to say you're all gorgeous and awesome. Also, I just wanted to thank everyone who did readings for this. I really hear Shakespeare as a British male voice and although tommacarte's reading was amazing, when I made it louder it got this weird popping noise in it (probably my sound editing program).
