Idea No 23 - Animating the faking news

While everything in this world is spreading at the speed of light, overnight stardom is no more a fantasy or a fairytale. Thanks to social networking, I can blog the duration of my last visit to the men's room and there are people out there who might "like" that too.

Anyways, I'm not away from the party myself. And the Idea is outcome of one of those misadventures.

I have subscribed to one of the sites that provides daily entertainment by faking news literally. They spend sometime reading something ongoing and then fake the news by writing something funny in similar lines (Check this out - http://www.fakingnews.com). I love it and the humor is very sarcastic. The name of the site adds up more spice to it.

The Idea is to be more creative in terms of delivery of the news itself. The news needs to of course be readout loud as not everyone believes in reading. But more importantly, its like one of those stand up comedian shows that have a crowd to support them. We can use any standard animation softwares to read up the news. To add more to it, after every sentence of some paragraph, have some cheers, laughs or some comments to top it up. Software like - http://website-talk.a4desk.com/ can be use for the same. Also, we would need some video mixing to make it more appealing.

Most of it is basic use of ready made software, so shouldn't be difficult.
