I'm not quite sure what to do for this project yet so i started by finding a couple of clips from some of my favorite films on you tube and posting them here. I figure that would be a good place to start.

I like the idea of relating classic films to contemporary ones, that could be an interesting project but it might also take a lot of research and time but anyway, here is an example...

Another idea i thought would be fun was to focus solely on adventure films. This would be a new area for me to explore. Perhaps i could combine clips together to make a similar kind of swashbuckler/adventurer type scene. Clips from some of these films may work...
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Robin Hood (1922), The Mark of Zorro (1940), Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), Tarzan the Ape Man (1932) etc...

One more idea i had was to focus on one particular actor an combine different clips from his different roles to make a whole new scene with him being the sole actor. I though it would be fun to use Cary Grant films. His style is iconic and i think there are some great moments in his films that combined would be completely ridiculous.
