Copyright! No worries!

Chipmonks do Christmas

This is my version of chipmonks doing a classic Christmas Carol!

And how did I get past all the copyright infringments you ask???
Easy, all three of these chipmonks are me!

I used Audacity software to record my voice over the top of one another 3 times. I then played with the pitch and the tempo. Nowhere in this post have I mentioned any Disney characters and the words the First Noel where written so long ago it would be absolutely impossible for me to find the writer and ask for permission. Carols have been reproduced in one way or another for years.

When we first covered all the copyright limitations in class I thought, well that puts some limitations on what you can do. Then I thought again. Instead of just getting the english department in to produce a script, lets get the drama department in to do a set, and the music department in the sing some songs. Lets think outside the box and realise that placing limitations on things is a great way to expand a project, not shut it down.

What a great way to get creative!
