Reminds me of a similiar episode I had in college during a video production assignment. We had to put together a 15-min. video 'about ourselves' - and since I'd been shooting video both amateur and professionally for years prior...I had a ton of interesting and unique footage to edit together for the assignment.

I put the entire project together like a rapid-fire music video, with a ton of quick edits of visually interesting footage, added an original guitar soundtrack (supplied by a buddy), digital titling...the works.

In the end, during the class presentation...the instructor thought it was "too good" and accused me of using footage from sources other than my own. I simply told him to pick any segment and I'd show him the original raw camera footage - but with the provision he'd owe me a $100 bucks for the false accusation.

He never took me up on the challenge - and wound up giving me a B on the assignment.
