Everyone who teaches a school media program needs to check out Western DCC’s Facebook Page. They’ve been posting TV show intro remakes, and they’re very well done, not to mention that this is a very clever and original idea for a project.
As a side note, I’ve noticed that unlike schools in the “Music Tech Belt” from Illinois to the east coast, schools out on the west coast have been adding project-based classes out of the film and media tradition, with audio playing a supporting role. With Hollywood so close, this approach might make more sense on that side of the continent.
