BSG Vidlet: Sunday Bloody Sunday: Mambo Remix

Because clearly, ten just wasn't enough, here is the first of two planned bonus vidlets to round out my [livejournal.com profile] thearchive2 project to a Cylonic dozen. The next one will be for the actual bonus challenge (crossover) but this one is Mod's Choice, and the Mod chose a remix.

Title: Sunday Bloody Sunday: Mambo Remix
Video: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Audio: Sunday Bloody Sunday - Richard Cheese
Summary: Remix of [livejournal.com profile] tallulah71's vid Sunday Bloody Sunday. Humans and Cylons. Are you ready to learn how to mambo?
Editor's Notes: This was [livejournal.com profile] cyborganize's crazed, genius brainchild, but man was it fun to make. MAMBO! I'd also like to thank [livejournal.com profile] tallulah71 for permission to remix her vid, and thoroughly recommend you go watch the original if you haven't seen it. Hell, if you have, go watch it again.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it as a "cover vid"; that's an awesome way to describe it. I'm not deeply involved in the fandom but I know that remixing fic is something that's an actual like "thing" now, but I've never actually seen another remix vid (though I'm sure some exist). I think because you really need to use not only a cover of the song but a cover in a different style or it's just another vid to the same song? Which makes it more difficult.

And dude. Richard Cheese is like, my new love. He's awesome.

Gaeta and everyone looks ridic dancing, which is awesome. I love how you edit everything like a bizzare dance, even the ships. I love how everyone shoots everyone.

I love that you noticed all that. Thank you! :)

In vidding, I think remixing is when you take a vid that you made to a song already and putting a different song over top. [livejournal.com profile] greensilver's Ghost Song Isn't Crying is a remix of Ghost Song. Some people call it a mashup too. I love that we pillage other areas and cultures for our terms.

The way that Richard Cheese covered U2 is the way that you covered [livejournal.com profile] tallulah71, which I find very interesting. There was at least one other cover vid that I remember, but I can't think of the who, what, when, or where.

LOL I can't believe I made you do a remix bid without knowing what one is! whoops. there was a whole remix challenge at vvc, I think in 2007. I'll find you some links later on. typically a remix bid takes up similar themes but uses a different song - the cover was just serendipitous.

and yes, mashups are sort of a joke thing where you just swap in different audio. they can be amaaaaaaaazing.

There's some of the VVC remix challenge listed on the vid database.

I'm awful with using the right terms for things.

Doing a remix vid without knowing what it is makes it even better. :)
