:::::::Stage Three:::::::
After compiling the footage need to create the piece I spent about three hours on the computer lacing it all together. I was shocked to discover how well you can bend something to mean something else when you're behind the mouse.
There are several Sesame Street 'Letter of the Day' videos that, when juxtaposed with news clips of analysts and political leaders, transformed into something new.
Which I guess is the goal of remixing in the first place.
I liked the idea of butting childish television up with adult television.We all view Sesame Street as a fundamental staple in our childhood (well, at least I do) but we hardly ever sit down and watch it as an adult. Mixed in with television samples that we are bombarded with on a daily basis to the point of shutting them out I think it made the banality of the news a bit more fresh.
You can check out the finished work here. Feel free to let me know what you thought of it and if it worked in the manner that was described.
