Remix is the only art, call it what you want but you were “Inspired” by someone else’s work. This week we delved into the art of Remixing but I guess first we should answer What is a Remix? So you got what a Remix is? Good! lets delve straight into the remix work we did for this week. The Remix feature or The Assignment Repository is quite interesting… though some of the  combinations just don’t work out so well… I guess that’s the point. We also did some Mashup work. we were to complete 7 stars and here’s mine Movie Trailer Mashup- 4 Stars Recycled Material- 3 Stars It was actually quite … Continue reading →

Remix, Everything is a Remix. That an interesting concept, It’s something I enjoy because I have definently notices a trend in movies these days. it’s either a Remake of an older movie, an adaptation of a book (or god forbid a video game), but sometimes a remix is a good idea. I definently remember a video we watched early on in the semester, Where Good Ideas Come From, which expressed this idea about combining (Mashup) and reusing (Remix) ideas to create bigger and better things. A Remix is something which uses whats already out there to make something new. one thing I really appreciated about this is when they talked about most great … Continue reading →

What is a Remix? Actor Transformation Recycle the Media Remix the Assignment I think that remixing is really entertaining, both remixing things myself and watching/listening/enjoying other remixes.  Very often I look for remixes of some of my favorite songs for example, much of the music I listen to is a remix of something.  Borrowing from […]

For my assignment mashup, I had to combine a tutorial for my mom (or grandma in my case) and Where’s Waldo? where I had to put Waldo or his name in my video.  I think I kind of lucked out on this assignment because of the fact that my Grandmother just recently got her first […]

A mash-up of movies, for this assignment we were to take 2 movie trailers and use the audio from one and the video from another to create a new a different story or feel. For this assignment I took two movies which I look forward to seeing, The Great Gatsby and The Collection. It was actually quite a simple process, these two trailers where particularly well suited for each other because both started with a sort of club type party intro which now go horribly wrong as the Great Gatsby has killed his party goer and takes a girl hostage to be his love slave. as one man who has escaped Gatsby’s clutches goes in search of Mr. … Continue reading →

Recycling is a wonderful thing, why let those unused clips and pics rot in a media land fill when we can rework and reuse them? For this assignment we took a look in the recycling bin and made a video story using those items. Winter Is Coming is a ...

So, to start off this week, I made a I have to say, I was disappointed by the lack of audio choices.  I really thought there’d be a wider selection of media, so I was kind of shoehorned into make … Continue reading →

So, to start off, I reviewed the “Everything is a Remix” series to get a basic idea of remixes.  I feel like some music used samples before hip-hop, but I can’t back up that claim.  Of course, hip-hop remixes are … Continue reading →
