A.V.A.T.A.R.

By jonathan | Published: April 25, 2013

A.V.A.T.A.R. is biting remixed critique of Hollywood’s repeated use of the Might Whitey trope in which white heroes save oppressed and exotified people of color. Craig Saddlemire also created a highly critical mashup of Zack Snyder’s blockbuster film 300 which we have posted about before. He writes: A.V.A.T.A.R.

Chevron We Agree: Respect the Chevron Way

By elisa | Published: November 18, 2010

Chevron recently released their new “We Agree” ad campaign. The TV and print ads equate the concerns of ‘real people’ to those of the multinational oil corporation, illustrating their solidarity with costumers’ and our interests in stopping environmental degradation often caused by the industry. More over, the “supermajor” oil company channeled the wheat-paste, street-artist look [...]

There Will Be Bell (Re-cut Trailer)

By elisa | Published: August 19, 2010

Back in 2008 Sirmixalott116 combined footage from Saved by the Bell with scenes from the film There Will Be Blood to create this re-cut trailer. The remix eerily forecasts the current ‘dirty energy’ vs. environmental ecology debate that is now raging in the United States (made more urgent by the BP Gulf catastrophe). When the [...]

BP Remix Video Roundup

By jonathan | Published: June 22, 2010

The internets have been busy over the past couple months creatively re-branding and correcting the corporate identity of the company formally known at British Petroleum. We have seen some hilarious logo re-design, mock print ads and of course the ever entertaining BPGlobalPR spoof Twitter feed. Not to be outdone online video remix has also played a [...]

RBC Olympics Flame Trail Ad Re-dubbed

By jonathan | Published: February 24, 2010

I recently helped the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) re-dub Royal Bank of Canada’s new Olympic Flame Trail commercial. The new and improved voiceover better represents the bank’s dirty investments: since 2007, RBC has given about $17 billion dollars in loans to companies operating in the Alberta tar sands – more than any other bank. Not [...]

Letter to the Future President

By jonathan | Published: July 30, 2008

A political mash-up video combing McCain, Bush and Obama speeches on energy policy created by the stimulator over at submedia. The video shows all three politicians saying exactly the same positive things about polluting, dangerous and unworkable energy alternatives. Basically all the US presidential candidates have been “drinking the Kool-ad” on nuclear, ethanol and the [...]

The Power of Human Energy

By jonathan | Published: June 18, 2008

My latest Identity Correction remix, this time taking aim at the Chevron corporation and their new rather Orwellian slogan “Human Energy”. Created by combining and re-cutting movie footage, TV commercials and the audio from Chevron’s latest PR blitz. The video focuses on the corporate search for profits through control of global oil supplies and the [...]
