See it done via YouTube Doubler and also as a screencast of the video playing in two different browsers.

Movie Trailer Mashup

Take your favorite movie trailer and mash it up with a different trailer to completely change the meaning of the original trailer.

A series of photographs taken by Jonathan Worth of author Cory Doctorow are now available for you to remix, regenerate, and to make new art, especially in light of the themes and topics of his books. Your challenge is to make something new out of the photos, or better yet, remix of someone else’s remix. But we not only want you to make art, we want you to share the story behind it.

This is some sort of variation on Katy Chase's The Contest That Nobody Could Win assignment, but instead of clips from a TV show or movie, do clips from your favorite songs and see if anyone can guess what they are. Or atleast the artist. Do two or three second clips using 4 or 5 songs. Make them all different. Use soundcloud to post!
