Skypportunity with a Video Game Coder

Our class Skyped with a video game coder.

Daniel lives in england, bristol, united kingdom.  He works on computers, and plays the saxophone. One of the games he made is called, “sir, you are being hunted.” he plays different types of saxophone. He is good at coding.  He also talked to us about Minecraft.

He said we could write him with more questions, so I did.   I asked him about the saxophones.  There are 10 kinds and he plays 3 kinds of saxophone.

This is him playing the alto saxophone:

Musical Parody Lesson#3- What is our music video parody about?

Our music video parody is about multiplication and division. The background music is the music to hello. Our parody is funny.  I am the first clip because I have red hair like Adele so it's funny.  The song is saying times tables are frustrating but if we keep trying we will get it.

Musical Parody Lesson#2- My own parody lyrics

We watched music videos to see what we liked about certain ones.

I like music videos that have real people, instead of cartoons, because it seems like whenever it is cartoon it only is crazy, but if it is real people, it teaches you a lesson. It is hard to shoot them.

I like to read it read it

He likes to read it read it

She likes to read it read it

We like to  - write it!

Musical Parody Lesson#4: Three Things I Learned

The three things I learned about a Music Video Parody are these: First, there are many clips; You cannot have just one clip, it just wouldn't work, so you have to use about thirty five clips. Second, you have to have patience; It won't always be your turn, and there is a LOT of waiting. Third, It looks easy, but it is hard; You usually see a Music Video Parody before you do one, and the people who are doing it make it look easy, but it is actually REALLY hard. And finally, Forth, you need to choose a popular song; It cannot just be a regular song, because no one would understand the joke of the song. Here is a link to the Parody
