Did you want these to be all under one profile/place, or scattered randomly about?

Scattered! Sweet beautiful cloud chaos

This is a fantastic idea, Tim! Like a media virus outbreak!

I may know a talented video-person interested in this. I’ll check with him and see if he’s up for it. I think I can maybe make a decent media-mashup, but I also think I may be horribly mistaken. We’ll see. I’ll give it a go, but if the results are too horrific they’ll need to be put down for the good of the world.

Did you want these to be all under one profile/place, or scattered randomly about? I think I like the idea of the videos being scattered, producing that “I’ve Found Something!” feeling when soon-to-be-Exceptionologists stumble upon them.

Oh, and by the way, your audio sample is great. Unemotive-computer-voice really…adds something to your words.

gotta keep the media skills on par with the middle school generationâ€¦

Exactly, otherwise those bastards are going to be running the show before we even know what hit us!

Nice timing… I ordered a firewire port for my computer last week, should be here any day now. The first of my projects on deck is actually heavily influenced by your slew of posts on identity (etc) from a few months back. I’m pretty excited to pop my youtube cherry… gotta keep the media skills on par with the middle school generation…

Very nice…
I couldn’t do any better
so I’ll sit this one out.

But, very nice nonetheless…

Actually to be completely honest
I have nothing to say verbally or visually
that hasn’t already been said…

I like what everyone else has to say.

besides I lack the computer skillz

keep up the good work.

Oh and I’m also ALL about mashup videos featuring other movies, popular songs, etc. There are a million and one examples of this out there, many featuring Harry Potter for some reason

I have no idea how you’d make a Harry Potter/Smarticles mashup, but hey - who knows…

Okay, I will work up some vocabulary descriptions which you can then interpret however you like, I guess. Actually I have one audio file I already created which people can download and either use directly or use as a basis to interpret from however they see fit

Okay, I added in an mp3 file of the video I started making before I got too frustrated to continue into the body of this post at the end. That should give people a nice starting reference point. This should be hilarious to see what people come up with! Just post your videos to YouTube when you’re done and email me a link or drop it into the comments here!
