Studies have recently suggested that the general public is getting more open to configurable practices. But what is the opinion about remix culture seen from the eyes of people who actually remix themselves? This, I was hoping you could help me answer.

I am currently fielding an international survey about video remixing cultures. I hope you will spend 10 minutes answering the survey and, if possible, share it with other video remixers (doesn't have to be vidders). It is strictly anonymous.

Hey gang,

Y'all were super helpful with my last vid, so I'm back for advice! My new vid is to a rather fast-paced Disturbed song (the fastest I've worked with so far) and I'm having a hard time cutting to the beat and making he most of the music/clip marriage. Can you guys rec me some fast paced/rock/metal fanvids for homework? 

Thanks!

Title: Losing Your Memory
Vidder: darkbunnyrabbit
Song Title/Band: Losing Your Memory, by Ryan Star
Rating: PG at most
Series: Doctor Who
Summary: Spoilers up to S6x13

Whenever they see each other, they're always forgetting a little bit more.

Slightly AU in that the Doctor and River's timelines are like 95% back to front (with the suggestion that 6x08 or 6x13 is the last encounter with River from the Doctor's POV) rather than the 40% of canon.

...Yeah, right, so I'm a slave to the muse, obviously. There are so many glitches in this video even after three renders, but I spent a day and a half on this, so I am done fighting with it.

Callan was the British spy drama about a man then known as David Callan. Callan was played by a young Edward Woodward, and his Equalizer character could easily be the next stage in the life of this original Callan character. Callan and James Cross were assassins for a secret agency, with Callan having this problematical thing called a conscience. He really wanted to know that the people he killed were bad guys. His boss saw this as a really bad character flaw.

That description is so anemic that I really have to build a characters page and episode guide as extras for this. Paul and I watched this obsessively and we managed to bring Caren Parnes into our enthusiasm. I've got 4 old videos from abt 1988 that are finally upgraded. I'll be putting those up fairly quickly.

Now I need to find a copy of the Callan video that Caren made at our NY apt, Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" and upgrade that, too. I might be begging for help from anyone who has a copy of Caren's video if I can't find my master tape soon.

Best, Mary
