The Video That Changed My Mind About Mashups
I’ve always hated mashups (videos combined with others). Never understood ’em. This video changed my mind.
What do you get when you combine the omnipresent “Star Wars Kid” video… with “Stephen Colbert vs. Rancor” video?
See this video: Steven Colbert vs. Star Wars Kid. Nice job, MediaBeyonBelief.
UPDATE: These videos were BOTH actually a result of Stephen Colbert airing a clip of him fighting on a greenscreen… then encouraging people to create things out of it. Here’s the article about how Colbert has embraced the web — from viral video to Wikipedia taunting.
My favorite is a recent Dance Dance Revolution Colbert mashup:

i also wrote an article on Stevens role as social media zeitgeist:

BTW how about an post about video cameras for doing videos like this, do you have any particular favs?
