The Great Gatsby's 'Mad World'

This is one of the first videos I ever made. It was for a class project and unfortunately while transfering the video to my computer I was unable to get rid of the vcr's time code. so forgive that aspect of the video and enjoy. btw this video got me an A+.

No, I didn't really consider copyright laws at all when making the video. Technically speaking, the video in its entirety is a violation of copyright law. The song is used without permission and the video is used without permission. The only attempt I can make to not have the respective owners sue my ass off is that I'm not making any money off this and I make no claims of ownership.

As far as doing a PSA for your English class, as long as you aren't entering it into a contest or posting

This is terrific! Gret job! Can you upload a copy without the time stamp?

[BigUgly73]

Sadly, the timestamp is a part of the source, not the final output. To take out the time stamp I would have to upload the movie again, then re-edit it together the exact same way, and some of the clips were just plain luck, so in the future I might be willing to do all that, but not right now.

can you upload the movie please?

[BigUgly73]

No, I think that would be a violation of the copyright and 2 even if I was willing to, the device I use to upload videos on my computer has had the major flaw of not being able to transfer sound. So all you would get would be the video and no audio

Love it! Whats the second song at the end called?

[BigUgly73]

Dream On by Aerosmith

Finally, a modern tune that matches this subject matter. Good job, old sport.

This is a really good song that fits a really good movie!

This is fantastic! My favourite book and film, and a perfect selection of clips and music. Really really excellent.

Hey BigUgly, I've got a question. did you have to deal with copyright laws to put this song on your video? Because I am doing a PSA for my English class and I just want to know if it's ok if I use this song. I'm asking you because I think that it would be a little overkill to call the record company and ask their permission. Thanks!

[CroissantMothership]

Wow, this was gorgeous. The song fits the story perfectly.

If your teacher didn't give you an A+, imma have to hurt him.
