Video Fun: “Premakes” – old-school movie trailers for modern films

Disney/Pixar's UP
Disney/Pixar’s UP

By now, Web Watch hopes that you’ve seen Disney/Pixar’s UP.

Hopefully, you’ve shown it to your parents.  If you haven’t, and have had difficulty explaining to your parents why they should want to watch an animated film, perhaps you should show them this PREMAKE, a movie trailer using old video clips done in a style as if the new film had been made decades ago.

Perhaps it’s a bit hard to explain.  It’s what the trailers would look like if these films had been made in the 1950’s. Does that make sense?

Why don’t you watch this clip and you’ll see what we mean:

How often do you wash your jeans?

Well, if you’re college student Josh Le, the answer is that you TRY TO WEAR YOUR JEANS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT WASHING THEM.  In his case, he wore his $165 pair of “Nudie Jeans” 330 different times over a 15 month period without washing them…. just to see if you could and what would happen.

A funky science project, if you will.

That’s over 60 weeks.

Some things do not need any further explanation, beyond the fact that Sesame Street is awesome.

After watching this, however, it does appear that Grover is looking a little matted and mangy. He might want to have that checked out.

Video Fun: Unexpected Music Mashups


Mashed Up: Music, Technology, and the Rise of Configurable Culture
Mashed Up: Music, Technology, and the Rise of Configurable Culture

Web Watch has covered music mashups before, but here’s a slightly different take for your amusement:  what happens when you SING THE LYRICS OF ONE SONG TO THE MELODY OF ANOTHER?  That what ROB BRYDON and others do here on I’M SORRY I HAVEN’T A CLUE.

It’s almost the same as HOW TO WRITE THE PERFECT POP SONG, where you can use the same four chords to cover any number of different songs.  Perhaps all you really need to do is take a listen:
