So, are trailer remixes the mainstream vids? Well, more mainstream, anyway?
Yeah. It's sort of weird, watching what I consider to be vidding techniques, used for this purpose. A little bit of mental disconnect.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That's really interesting, because it never would have occured to me to think of remixing as a "vidding technique." It's just...editing. (And I wonder how much of my own POV is influenced by knowing that the Shining trailer that jumpstarted the trend came out of a film school class.)

Who knows, maybe these made up one-liners will prompt young people to seek out the real facts as found in my recent autobiographical book, "Against All Odds?" They may even be interested enough to check out my novels set in the Old West, "The Justice Riders," released this month.
Bwahahahaha! Nicely done, Chuck.

Nicely done, Chuck.
He's smooth like a roundhouse kick to the face.

You get vidders who have had formal training in editing techniques, film school, the like, and you get completely feral vidders who figure stuff out for themselves. It's an interesting mix.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Feral vidders. Eating their film splices raw, peeing on character moments to mark their territory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Chuck was on the Tony Danza show when he said that. I saw a clip somewhere. He was much smoother than the interviewer for sure.
I consider vidding editing--what makes the remixes like vidding to me specifically is the repurposing, and the types of cheats and imposed interpretation.

Illustrating Chuck N's humor deficiency, I've heard that on the set of Dodgeball, the filmmakers had to work to keep Chuck from sticking out his tongue and popping his eyes while the camera was running. See, Chuck knew he was appearing in a comedy, but had no concept of why his mere appearance would be funny, so he was trying to "be funny."
