Masters of the video mash-up, Cassetteboy and Barry Pilling, have joined the Digital Revolution team to make mirth and entertainment with the Digital Revolution downloadable content, and hopefully provide some inspiration of ways in which you can use our content for the Digital Revolution Short Film Competition.
Please note that these short films were commissioned by us to provide inspiration - they aren't entered into the competition.
First up, Cassetteboy, whose fast-cutting mash-up videos are (in)famous around the web, applies his signature techniques to the Digital Revolution rushes to offer a unique collection of mashed statements about the web:
Next, Barry Pilling uses his stop-motion approach to create a brilliant interpretation of the Digital Revolution content - telling the multiplatform story in a literally multiplatform way:
You just knew they'd never be able to resist using Stephen Fry saying "LOL".
So hopefully this has whetted your appetites for the rushes and fanned the flames of your your creative fires to get involved with our short film competition.
Digital Revolution has been releasing rushes sequences from the ongoing production for you to watch, embed, download and re-use for your own video, and we thought it would be fun to run a competition for you to make a short film about the series themes or a trailer for the series as a whole. We've made our own little mash-up to explain this further:
In order to see this content you need to have both Javascript enabled and Flash installed. Visit BBC Webwise for full instructions. If you're reading via RSS, you'll need to visit the blog to access this content.
Your short film or trailer could win a promo spot on the BBC Homepage and be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. The winners will also be invited to attend a documentary masterclass at the BBC and meet with a BBC Multiplatform Commissioning Executive. Just make something that educates, informs and entertains. You can find more of the details of the competition on the Digital Revolution Competition page.
After today (7 December 2009) we won't be uploading any further video rushes sequences until after the competition closes - 3 January 2010. So what you find on the rushes page is everything we will be putting up for use in the competition.
In fact, since we've been uploading more and more rushes sequences over the last couple of weeks, you have more rushes to play with than Cassetteboy or Barry Pilling had. So what are you waiting for? Get mashing!

Ah, the joys of the web. The real strength of the net is that it allows anyone to take the mickey out of anyone else. :) Can't wait to see what videos will turn up.

Is the web changing us:
Facebook is being cited in almost one in five of online divorce petitions, lawyers have claimed.

Seems I'm too late to contribute any mash ups to the competition. 'Tis a pity - I had a selection of health education vids covering healthy heart, how to measureblood pressure and exercise that educates, informs and entertains. Will create more ready for next time.

Mash on Cassette Boy! - Lest they forget what a cassette was.....
Here is a cracking mash dj earwig and his top toons of 2009 from - the pasty muncher
Cassette boy is truly a mash God - ever since I saw the splendid rework of Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' I've been a big fan. Will cassette boy get round to doing Susan Boyle?

Mash on Cassette Boy indeed !, Shame I missed the deadline. I've got a number of videos about distance learning and especially Online PhD Degree Programs which are very popular within the academics.
