Trailer Remix Mash-ups
March 9, 2007Mash-ups are using preexisting video footage to create something new, like remixing music or using photos to make a collage. Mash-ups are totally open ended and can be whatever you want to make out of it. Nonetheless, certain styles of mash-up have developed.
My favorite is the trailer “regenrefication” mash-up, or trailer remix, where footage from and existing movie is taken rearranged and made into a trailer of a completely different genre than the original motion picture.
Here are some of the noteworthy trailer mash-ups I found…
10 Things I Hate About Commandments
Saw 3: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Mel Gibson’s Signs (of Antisemitism)
…A bunch more trailer remixes can be found at iFilm’s Trailer Remixes .
