“YOU SPIN ME ‘ROUND LIKE A TURNTABLE”
in Retro-Vision
by ALEX INACIO
The project starts off with James the Red Engine steaming forward over to the turntable to have an easy spin until Gordon arrives to see every-
Thing. Suddenly, the wind begins to blow the turntable where James is riding on around like a top! Then the “YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ‘ROUND” song (performed by ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS) plays out of nowhere as the table spins faster until at last, the wind died down and James felt dizzy. Finally, we steams slowly back to the sheds without a word to say. And then the project stops. I will be editing the footage onto Final Cut Program.
Halfway through the project, I will add myself into the video by using a green screen and record the footage with either a camera or phone.
​
This is the song that I am going to use.
