Cluster Mash Up

For the few readers out there that keep up probably don't know, I am a Film and Video Major. And for me, one of the main things I want to direct is Music Videos. And you know what is even better than finding an artist in the height of their discovery via Blogs. And hearing a great song by them, which inspires you with a vivid idea for a music video. But when you search up and see if there is already one. You discover a bunch of old movies Mashd' into a huge cluster fuck with their song over it. Yea, that was cool a year ago. But when everyone and their deceased mother are doing this and are being praised, it is real irritating. Yea, a lot of work went into it. I Guess.

1. Watch movie.
2. Import into Final Cur/Adobe Premiere/ Avid if you suck.
3. Chop that shit up in an irregular fashion.
4. Import song into timeline.
5. Get shitty ass Vimeo Staff Pick.

These are the only mash ups I respect.

Good Song. Just Mashn' to the beat. Yea, Cool Footage, but I would like to see something more "creative" I guess.

Favorite Artist Of Right Now. Too Bad there is a mash up for each song. Had an idea I wanted to approach him with.
These ones are actually kind of cool visuals though so it is kind of cool but still. Give someone else a chance dude.

Whatever. Does anyone even care/understand? Probably not. But, these are not nearly as bad as this shit.

If you think I am hateful cause I expressed myself on the Mash up Genre, or as I call it, the failure bowl of creativity. Go take it to the comments or just act irate in person next time you see me.
