Everything dances.” I incorporated lots of public domain footage along with works from our community. Here are the links to the public domain footage.

Love. Passion. Artistry. Excellence.  I believe these are born from a fiery heart.  We harness fire for industrial purposes. We can create and can destroy with fire. We even celebrate with fire. With the original Everything on Fire video, Joe pays a fiery tribute to the love shared between two brothers. This remix is my take on the fiery heart.

Now, I am NOT a singer.  Todd, you don't how much had helped me with this.  I listened both to your video for this collaboration and also to your instrumental version of your song Just HIT, hitRECord to get some type of tune in my head.

I recorded myself singing this several times and added most of the tracks in so it's me multiplied. LOL  It was challenging and fun.

For some reason, it bothers me that the writing on Joe's shirt is backwards so I flipped the image horizontally on my video edit.  Plus, I couldn't get rid of all the background noise.  

I've been wanting to do video REmix of a spoken word piece for awhile now.  Then I found this amazing poem  masterfully written and read by sfdetroiter.  I love the phrasing.  Plus, the melody from the song Syrnix by tonguecutsparrow is so free-flowing and hypnotic.

After hearing a beautiful interpretation of this song by Lizziemackie and Metaphorest, I knew I had to do another video remix.  Given my schedule, I decided to do a 30 seconds or less version.

When I first heard this piece of music, I knew I needed to do something with it. Also, this was a great opportunity to incorporate one of my favorite quotes from RegularJOE.

I just re-watched the video where Joe was recommending Foreign Sounds and he was talking about maybe adding another layer to the video but that he also liked the video bare.  Coincidentally, cchellez and I used some footage from the video Noiry Night. For the couple I wanted to feature, I used different footage.  It would be interesting to hear people's interpretation of this.

I used Marke's Trash Deco font to create this template for the reREC videos.  These are 1-10 and there is an additional slide labeled Bonus. Hopefully these will be useful to someone.

Don't worry if you don't see all the numbers when streaming the video.  I don't know what's happening.  If you download the file, you will have all the numbers plus the bonus.

This is my first pass at the intro.  Joe, please let me know sometime today your thoughts on the intro. To tell the truth ,I didn't get much sleep last night. LOL I won't be able to work on this again until this evening and then I'll make any requested changes.  Thanks!

Today marks my one-year anniversary at hitRECord.  I started this REmix some four months ago and for some reason I couldn't get any momentum to carry it through. But this weekend, I finished it.  Coincidentally, I had already included some footage of NYC but given the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, I wanted to keep it in.  Thanks to via for showing me in her video fireflies for sarah how to correctly edit PASIV's version of Megan Carnes' Sunday Evening.

http://www.archive.org/details/HowtoLis1957

I was trying to figure out what to do for the RE:Independence collaboration. While doing video research, I came across the short animated film 200 and instantly became captivated with the seventies-style Americana motifs twisting and turning. I suppose this REmix is a celebration of the freedom to fight for one's dreams and to create in Joe's words “transcendent, rambunctious art.”

I was working on one REmix and I just couldn't finish it and put it aside.  Then this song captured my imagination so much that I thought  perhaps I was supposed to do this REmix instead.  Plus, I'm pleased that I could finish this the day before my birthday.  Coincidentally, one of the public domain films was relased the year of my birth. It's funny how things turn out.  Thank you Pamagotchi for a stardusty REmix and missamerica for your candelit capture.
