So, since Gaby had incorporated a heart in her remix of mine and I'd had it in my original, I decided to make the main character a heart. I added jesterlady's voice over to this and based it off of barush's story. And I thought it could use some music, so I borrowed from claire for that :D Hopefully it came out okay. Cheers!

This couns as a move for barush this round.

My cat helped me open my RECollection package this afternoon. She quickly became obsessed with the little red button.

just a visual remix to go with my tinystory "the silent street i live on"... hope u enjoy :D

The "REmix Theatre" collaboration began on January 18, 2011 and, after nearly three months of hard work by the contributing community, the 'Pilot Episode' is officially on the air.

I had no idea if making a quasi late night television show was even going to be possible. But I figured it was worth a try.

As outlandish a concept as it was at times, the community was remarkably supportive and immensely helpful in contributing the essential pieces to the project. And I wanted us to aim high, making the show as close to real television as possible: commercials, credits, bumpers, and network IDs had to be created just for this.

With the pilot in the can, my hope now is that this Pilot Episode will help inspire future installments. The idea behind "REmix Theatre" was always to establish some kind of structure and then have other hitRECorders pick and choose which parts they would like to carry over into new episodes. And with new episodes would come new Featured RECords, new fictional host characters, and new formats.

I did my best to cite every REsource involved with the project but I did want to highlight a few key contributors to this production, without whom none of this end product would have been possible:

* thesherbethead: I'm forever indebted to this creaive spirit. His theme music contribution really kickstarted the whole thing when it was in a lull and helped me figure out the direction it truly needed to go in. And Vincent McSuperfly is a character I really enjoy. Did you know that #McSuperfly has been trending since 1976? I thought it was since '77, but wikipedia was incorrect.

* Melanne: Heavily involved from the get-go, Melanne's ideas and passion motivated me day in and day out to keep going and stick with it.

* themetafictionist: Every single RECord on the site has the ability to inspire. When themetafictionist uploaded "How To Wear Your hitRECord Button" I remember thinking for a while what her RECord reminded me of. Then it came to me. It was like an infomercial from the '50s. I had already REmixed a Public Domain ad for "Free TV" and I had decided that was to be the lone commercial for the show. But then I decided to work on the "Retro RECord Store Ad" collaboration and that was one of the most fun things I've worked on (plus I think it adds a nice light-hearted touch to the show.)

* Dolphin170: There were so many excellent logos uploaded to the initial "REmix Theatre" collaboration, but Dolphin170's "Hitrecord Network Logo" was the one that I found myself really connecting with. Her logo was so uniquely retro and simple, and it hit on all the points I was looking for. That one design became so integral in the crucial "Network IDs" that bookend the episode.

I tried to include as many REsources as I could. :) Wrote a little something about each one viewed; and in most cases, it had something to do with the original video.

Here's what was said:

"This world is pretty big,

If you’re looking for inspiration

Sit back, grab a beer

And travel to Dublin, Ireland.

Or make your way to New York City and create the best of memories.

You can learn patience and strength on trains in Tokyo

Slug a bug in Texas and meet ugly ducklings

Take in someone elses idea of heaven in Scotland

Or listen to tiny stories in Brussels

You can see the night lit up in Shangahai

Cuddle a train stranger in Chicago

And maybe even find out who you are on the streets of London

You can smoke a doobie in Amsterdam, or gaze at the swans instead.

If you don’t like swans, you can live a fast life in Chile

Or go on a scenic bike ride in Minneapolis

If you go by road in an English Countryside, it’s a beautiful journey

Or you can road trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to San Diego, California

…and get kicked out of a few bars on the way.

Get your feet wet in Australia

Leave your heart in Boston, Massachusetts

View Pittsburgh from the hills

Or Barcelona from the skies.

Spend your summer in Budapest

Listen to the rain in Ukraine

Tilt shift the UK

Time lapse Philadelphia

Venezuela, Vancouver, Ontario, Italy, Singapore, Honolulu, Croatia, Paris, Virginia, Berlin…

And you can meet me in Detroit, MI

No matter where you are

Or who you decide to be…

Whether you look up at the stars

Or wish upon the city lights

There’s a piece of you where you live

And a piece of where you live, inside of you."
