I just posted a new short film I made to YouTube, part of a new project I’m working on which involves combining public domain video from the Prelinger Archives with CC licensed music.
To me, this is the ultimate form of remixing, and I love the idea of reusing old historical stock footage and adapting it to new music. I’m kind of a history buff, and there is so much historical information which will just get buried and forgotten unless we can somehow make it relevant again, at least for a moment. If this type of effort can educate someone about the historical context of the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906, or make them feel both the pain and the strength of the survivors through the power of Don’s music, then I feel the effort was worthwhile beyond the joy I had of putting this together.
