Assignment #2 is Updated

The second assignment was updated with two new caveats:
1. Keep the video limited to 2 minutes only!

2. Make sure you don’t have any music playing in the background. We need to only hear your speaking voice / see your face. No music, no clips of Jem, etc!

It's interesting that they do not want any Jem music or clips of the cartoon in the videos.  This likely will be used for DVD bonus features.  If clips of Jem songs are used, even for a brief second in an excerpt from a fan video, then the movie will need to pay the writers of the music - Anne Bryant and Barry Harman.

This has become a point of contention with Transformers and an updated version of the theme song  has been created to avoid paying royalties to Anne Bryant.  Anne was involved in a lawsuit with Hasbro over unpaid royalties for the Transformers theme song in 2005.
