Intro
 Video mashups is a new and experimental art form where videos from multiple sources are edited together into a new video. To date, many of these video mashups have been parodies, but even music mashups are being integrated with them to make combined audio-visual media mashups.  The creation of  "mashups" implies the capacity to meaningfully and creatively sample and remix media content. The video mashup has come of age thanks to the likes of YouTube, Rocketboom and others.

Video mashups can be  presented as short video pieces and distributed on the internet. They  may also be performed live  using  real-time video applications in venues as diverse as theaters, galleries, dance clubs, movie theaters and outside buildings.

Description of Activities:
 The students will conduct supervised research on  the genre over the internet looking for open source visuals and digital imagery.

The students will develop a final live video performance  and post their mash-ups in an special account in You Tube.  This is an exciting and fun way to introduce them to creative expression with cutting edge technology  and   a direct  experience on creativity  deploying the ability to meaningfully sample ans  remix  media content.
