Create Your Own Dance Remix Contest

Warner Brothers and RES Media Group are building buzz for the upcoming "A Scanner Darkly" through a remix contest.

There are two ways to participate in this video mashup contest. You can either use the online video editing application Jumpcut to create your own remix. Or you can download all of the needed files (video, music and dialogue) and use your favorite video editing software program.

I'd like to see this approach offered by dancers and dance companies. The difference would be that participants could add their own dance clips to the mix if they wished to have their own performances included in their mashups.

For example, you could create a video with a dance sequence that tells a story along with music that you've licensed or have permission to freely distribute. Then participants would be encouraged to create a remix of your dance sequence, story line and music track. Participants could also create a video of their own dance moves and add it to their final remix.
