Video {RE/MIX}

This is a non-sync editing exercise using pre-existing video and audio materials to construct a 90 second piece that responds to and reconfigures the found material in a fresh, new way.

For the RE/MIX project, I used various audio and video sources to create a piece that comments on society’s obsession with bad things happening to people, usually involving sex or love, for the sake of entertainment.

The video sources were all taken from YouTube and are either clips from The Maury Pauvich Show, Lady GaGa’s Bad Romance music video, and a condom usage Public Service Announcement from Telugu, India. The audio sources were ripped from The Maury Pauvich Show clips and the Indian condom usage PSA. The background music from the Indian condom usage PSA was shortened and put on a loop while various screams, applause, and exclamations from The Maury Pauvich Show were spliced in between. Sounds are repeated and the contrast between them is meant to be comical.
