MASH-UP: The English Irony

Why are people who don't speak English as a first language mocked when they falter in their English, while foreigners or people who grew up in other countries are labeled cute here in the Philippines when they mess up our local language?

Hello, Ladies. ;)



Sooo, I made this mash-up dedicated to two of the things I love the most about this year: INCEPTION and AXE OLD SPICE. This is just a 30-second video, using the audio from the Axe Old Spice commercial starring Isaiah Mustafa, and clips from the Inception trailer. Strutting!Leo + Hello!Ladies = love. :))

-------------------

As human beings who like to create new things, we would love to assume that what we thought of and created is entirely original, because these are our ideas, our own concepts. But we have to face the fact that nothing is original anymore, and that there are laws that we have to abide by in order to function in this world, to maintain the "natural order of things" aka we don't get sued for copyright infringement, plagiarism, and the like. :)) That is why no matter how much I would like to claim that my idea for this mash-up is mine, the content I used aren't. And I would eventually have to credit the original "owners" of these content.

In a way, that thought is indeed stifling. Having to watch our backs and properly crediting is the way to go if we want to continue publishing and sharing on the net, because the owners to the rights of copyrighted material will sue us. Everything comes with a price these days. Harhar. :)) But then again, there are still a lot of people who get away with it. The intarnets is just too vast, and maybe someday, even I can get away with it. (But I can't really do that now lest I want the professor to kill me, jk. :P)

Okay, finally I am done uploading my mash-up :)
I dedicate this project to my dad because I want him to know how much I love him.

My mash-up was all about father and child relationship. The song that I used was YOU ARE MY HERO by Teresa James and the videos I used were from different clips from different commercials.

Mix and Match (for more "kilig" factor)

I made my very first mash-up project two days ago and it was really fun (though tiring) to do. I liked the way my classmates responded after I showed them the video I mashed up; "nakakakilig" was what they said.

It was a really different experience being the one who does the videos similar to what we see mostly in YouTube. I can't believe they have all the time they can allot for creating these kinds of project. I thought it was really amazing creating something like that. That's why even though mine didn't work out as planned, I still feel proud for my first mash-up project.

Yeah, it didn't work out as planned. I had technical problems such as wrong video formats thus, the original concept of my mash-up was not carried out by the end result. I had to resort to stock videos to be able to finish my project. But at least it ended up alright.

In terms of Copyright issues, I was really bothered after completing my project. I thought I might get sued for using the videos from YouTube. So I had this urge to put a disclaimer at the end of the video. I'm saying it here again, I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE VIDEOS AND THE MUSIC.

But all in all, creating mash-ups is fun! I'm looking forward to doing it again. Here's my project by the way if you want to check it out:

MASH UP

Hi guys! I am really sorry I couldn't come to class. My baby Drue was sick so I had to take care of him. Anyways, here's my mash-up. :) I had quite fun with it and I was glad that the sources of my vids approved of my using them. :) What I came up with is actually my philosophy in life. :D Let's all live happily until the last moment of our lives. -Kyra Yambao
