This audio work is a “commercial” I made for my a radio show project for my Computer Science 106: Digital Storytelling course at UMW. The project involved making a radio show that included themes or characters or plot points from the television show The Wire. My group’s radio show was a backwards radio show in that our content was commercials based on the actual product placement in The Wire. Kodak cameras were featured in Season 2 Episode 3: Hot Shots. Ziggy specifically references a “Kodak Moment” as Nick and his deal with Double G plays out.
To make this commercial, I took the audio from the scene where Nick and Ziggy are discussing the camera deal with Double G and the audio from an actual Kodak Commercial and combined the two in Audacity. I moved the introduction part of the music in the Kodak commercial to the end of the commercial audio to serve as background music for when Ziggy is talking about the Kodak cameras Nick and him are stealing for Double G. I cut down the audio from The Wire scene to just the specs and pricing of the cameras, as well as Ziggy’s “Kodak Moment” line.
