The War Room scene from Dr. Strangelove.

4 characters, Gen. Turgidson, Pres. Muffley, Amb. DeSadeski and Stains. Roughly 3 minutes, more if you include the phonecall to Dimitri.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

If you want grades your own dialogue will probably impress the teachers more than a copied scene. Especially if you are creative enough to actually write something sensible.

I would if i had a good group, kinda hard to carry on a conversation with myself   :noid

Audacity should get you up and running for your purposes.

That looks great RightFoot! I'm definitely going to have some fun with that.

This should work as a back-up plan incase my group doesn't pan out. I don't have time to screw around with them.

I think it was Hemingway who wrote literally dozens of pages just about how to choose a cigar. You can ask yourself a question, ponder about it and give yourself an answer.

Doable, and done correctly very captivating for a reader.

Ok wizz kids, we finally videod ourselves using a Sony DVD-RW Handycam

The problem is, my computer will not read the DVD-RW disc. I can view our footage on the handycam itself, but I cannot open it on my computer to edit it. Do I need to download a program or is there another trick to working this out?

handycam is a pain in the butt. I have used one before. You can open the footage in sony vegas but the sound file sometimes doesnt work. Depends what version of vegas you've got. You might need to buy a card reader to transfer the footage.
