Remix Project Ideas

So what am I going to do for my remix project? Well I was originally thinking of making a parody of a popular movie using the game The Movies, then perhaps dubbing dialogue from said movie over it or using other techniques to enhance it. Unfortunately my roommate, who is also taking the class, is doing a very similar idea. So I don’t think that’s a viable option anymore since he published his blog post before me. (That’s the last time I bounce ideas off him) Though I’m not strictly angry since the dubbing dialogue part was his idea.

Anyway, if I ended up going with that idea (or perhaps a twist on the old idea) I would be using the computer game The Movies as well as Audacity, a free sound recording program that records whatever you’re currently playing on your computer. I would be using a movie/video in creative commons or public domain. I’ll have to check with the Professor if any of this is still usable.

Some other ideas I came up with recently.

-Take an image or famous painting and photo shop it into something else. (Not much of an artist) Tools: Photoshop

License: Creative Commons or Public Domain

-Somehow change a song by remixing it (I have no musical talent so this wouldn’t be that great.)

Tools: Some sort of music editing tool.

License: PD/CC

-Alter a famous fairy tale or legend, or other literature to make a new version of it .

Tools: Microsoft Word

License: PD

This is all I have for now, it’s not much, but since I probably can’t use my original idea I had to scrabble a bit for new stuff.
