Our next assignment for this course was to produce a video and post it online inspired by the sentence: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Confused? I was too. The Wikipedia description is really good at explaining what's going on, and way better than I would be at trying. I'm not going to lie, the "word nerd" in me was loving the prompt and it was right up this former PWer's alley! I wanted to do something fun and I remembered something I had seen somewhere online in the past (wish I could remember where so I could credit them!). The House Buffalo. The term was used in reference to a rather fluffy cat that resembled the shape and color of a bison. Thus, my idea was born! I already had a fair amount of footage of my cats, and my one cat is rather "buffaloed" by the other on occasion, so I had a good story line ready to go. I went full on Crazy Cat Lady and followed my cats around with a Go Pro for a week (which makes them do very uninteresting things like stare at me until I go away). And after catching just the right amount of footage, I put it all together in Camtasia (after some creative file movements to get the videos off of the Go Pro and on to the computer), added in my audio and some music, and voila!
