Scratch

Okay Jessie in that case I will do the part right after you- from 0:25-0:50


Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

I think we can assume it's just the 4 undergrads working on this?  Correct me if I'm wrong.
Looking at the lyrics, there are 4 verses; most of the song is just the chorus/bridge repeated lots of times.  We could each do a verse?  And, if we have time, each do a variation on a chorus?  If we're short on time we could reuse something for each chorus.  Just suggestions, let me know what you all think.

I'll take the verse:
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

So, I''ll have 103-133

Here are the lyrics how they're divided up so far:

JESSIEMAO
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

BSEINER
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

??
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

ELISSAWOLF
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

??
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

LIMB
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Hey all - I was inspired by Jessie's project so I added to it.

I had a bit of trouble stopping the scripts for the fireworks I made because I had them continually re-broadcast and used stamp (one can apparently "stamp" even while the stuff is hidden. So I used a : 'if music timer is > __seconds & > __ seconds' then "broadcast'

This should fill in the first chorus:
??
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

bseiner, That looks great! How on earth did you put the full video of the match in there?!?!

I love the little funny guy...

Here's my section completed!

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jessiemao49/2261325

Check it out and see what you guys think.

Meanwhile I will work on this section:

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

everyone's parts look great! and fleurdetoile the match was a ton of costume changes haha. I'm no good at drawing but i thought that little guy was ugly enough to be cute 

is anyone else having the problem that when i edit my video in scratch and then upload it to the scratch website, the timing of the song is slightly off? I'm not sure whether i should alter my timers to match the timing of the song in scratch, or alter it so it looks right after i upload it.

Here is my final version as of now (but like I said the timing is slightly off)

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bseiner/2261885

How did you guys with the parts in the middle of the song view it every time so that you didn't have to listen to the whole song from the beginning? Was there a way to like play the song from the middle?

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jessiemao49/2263200

here's what I have of the second verse atm. It's a huge pain to listen to the whole song... and i'm trying to figure out how to make the drawing tool work. because right now it's terrible haha

I don't know of a way, honestly, to do the music from certain time points. Very annoying that.

I wonder if it might just be better for our individual work to make different cut-up versions of the song (to work with general timing and all) but then set the song in the final version to the timer for the whole piece?

Hey all,
I've updated my most recent version!  I think I'm about done with my section.

Here's the latest version.
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/fleurdetoile/2266592

If you can, please work off of this version - go ahead and just remix it. It'll be easier to keep track of and we won't have to add things in again.

bseiner - I had to adjust your timing a bit with words overwhelming folks. jessiemao49's part was semi-overlapping with yours. I think I got it, but the words do flash a bit early now. If you want to tweak it go ahead.

FAVOR: with any new sprites, could everyone make sure they start with a "go to x= y=" ? I had to adjust a few sprites that somehow didn't import in exactly the right place spatially.

Also, limb wrote me and he's working on the ending. But we're still missing a part:

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Who's willing/interested in taking this on?

Great job everyone! It's looking really good!

There's no way to play a song on Scratch starting from the middle...I guess if I was doing one of these, I'd use an audio editor like Audacity to chop the song up into short sound clips for each of the "scenes".  Build the scenes individually with the short sound clips, then add in delays as necessary when they are all assembled with the final complete sound clip.

Probably too late for this project...but maybe for your next one.  It might be a good technique to pass on to our participants

Hey jessimao49- sorry I missed this post. I didn't notice that you had already started on this section. Thanks! Perfect!
