Remixing News Video On The Fly
slashdotbs writes "The New York Times writes that 'A handful of Web users are programming their own virtual TV newscasts and eclectic collections of video clips using a free media-sharing tool called Webjay. The site makes it easy to build, share and watch playlists of audio and video links culled from around the Internet.' Although the site was originally intended to be used for audio playlist creation, it turns out that it can also be used effectively for video. In addition, you can create "video mashups", where you blend audio and video together to present a new message. By using simple smil commands in a URL, a CBS news report can become a short clip of George Bush saying "I can't do my job" (the third track on this playlist)."
How can we TRUST the big bully corporations to tell us the truth?
After F9/11, I just don't trust anyone with $ any more.
If you liked my post,
I don't know how indicative that playlist is of the kinds of things produced in general, but I can't say it left me feeling overly impressed. A 5 second clip of Bush saying "I Can't Do My Job" doesn't seem very revolutionary...

There's a funnier version of this at http://www.ebaumsworld.com/presaddress2.shtml
Unfair editing is a concept as old as speaking.

I'd like to rate this one -1, Flamebait.

The clip of video over near-single-frame video was pretty underwhelming... there's another form of remixing that has been done, and done well, before.
Some of the folks over at the pop radio station in Atlanta managed to reassamble clips of words and phonetically created phrases of Rush Limbaugh singing "I'm a Nazi". It's pretty damn funny and well done.
I only have a 64k mp3 of the song. Anyone actually have a higher quality copy of the track? Many 128k or 112k versions I've found online don't sound any better at all.

The lyrics for those who don't want to download the mp3. (Keep in mind that every word Rush "sings" really is his voice.)
(Lameness filter screwed up the formatting. Sorry.)
