New Idea

Hi, I want to thank you guys for the DVD! Its all very professional looking! The work dvd is great too!

But today, while sitting in class, I came up with a solid project to get started on; Its all about time-perception and interest. When I'm involved in something and it's fun, the time spent seems to go by quickly. Conversely, if it's boring, It can seem like ages. This is true with many people, and I want to play with this personal "clock" that speeds up & slows down.
I'd film a bunch of clips at the same amount of time, and present it, one section following the other. The viewer wouldn't know about this time limit, and depending on personal preferences, I'd hope that each clip would seem to go on for a different amount of time. Viewing material would be very eclectic and offer at least one clip that someone would find interesting. In the end, I may divide the screen into many parts, like a collage of all the clips previously shown to prove that each was of the same time limit. Or, I would have the collage in an opposite tv or computer to accomplish the same thing.
Any ideas or tips? I might just end up using tv shows or references to pop culture (commercials, advertisements, movies) from different eras. It can also mimic the act of flicking through channels which would be interesting too.

Converting Scratch files

Hi, I'm thinking of rotoscoping in Scratch and am wondering if the animation can be put into something like iMovie for editing and display. Is this possible? Or should I stick with Photoshop? I'd like to add some animation to my portfolio and scratch is really fun, but I don't know if I can present something like that in an interview, it just doesn't feel "artsy" enough to me. I think that the scripting that Marisa Olsen had in Java was more professional but I don't know how to access programs that would allow me to do the same.
