I310 Video Remix Project: All About Communication or An Ode to McLuhan

Here is my take on the video remix project for the class. This one tries to emphasize some major points of how communication operates within our world, as well as the achievements such communication has made as people tempered it with the passage of time.

  2. I really like the shrinking/moving of the screen and the repetition of "this is hardwork".

  3. Pretty cool man. I like the twisting of the original message of 'communication' being an advantage (as originally presented) becoming monotonous, and hard work. It really is overwhelming, and you captured that. I really was an Ode to McLuhan. Well done man.

  5. Cycling of the same few clips while introducing new ones at certain points was interesting.

  6. The scale changes made it interesting, would be nice to see more variation in them, or altering the rotation/orientation at times, too.

  7. "It really was an ode..." I meant to say.

  11. Found pretty funny when the girls says "it could have been me." Seemed like that part was originally from the clip.
