Shut Up and Drive: Climate Analysis
FEB/13/09 – Another fair-use remix bites the dust…This one removed from YouTube due to a “third party copyright claim”. This video was purged even though its clearly a transformative work that comments on and is critial of the original media. We at PRV encourage anyone that has had their fair-use content removed from a video sharing site to exersie their rights and distubte the takedown.
A pop-up climate analysis for Rihanna’s music video “Shut Up and Drive” re-worked by the folks at brighterplanet.com. An effective and easy-to-make remix style created by overlaying graphic/text bubbles on top of mainstream media – very much like VH1’s popular Pop-Up Video TV show. This remix style is entirely additive (similar to the remix-subtitled works out there) and has great potential for critiquing mainstream media. It would have been nice to see this particular remix go beyond fuel efficiency to critique western car culture as a whole though.
