Remix project

This was easily my favorite project that ice had in college so far. Was afraid that I bit off more than I could chew but I managed. Put in about 14 hours of editing into this tiny three minute video. 

I decided to go with vidding so I could work with songs and my initial plan was to remix "Say Something" by A Great Big World with incredibly sad disney moments. But realizing that it wasn't really a remix since the mood and tone was basically the same and I wasn't bringing anything new in. So I decided to switch the song to the most Anti-Disney song I knew, which was anything by Young Money. I connected the two through the fact that they are both corporations who have monopolized their trade, whether it be animated films or rap music. I chose the song "Finale" for its efforts of collaboration between multiple artists which added a challenge, to an otherwise repeated idea. 

My inspiration also came from the observation of the lack of African American culture in Disney movies. Some may argue that there was the Princess and the Frog but Tatiana wasn't even a real princess and the prince was from Africa and not an African-American. So I chose Disney characters who were as close to being black as possible. They include the genie who is pretty gangster from what I've seen. Aladdin is an Arab but he could pull off being Egyptian which is in Africa. The beast from beauty and the beast because he's brown. Stitch is an alien but his speech is pretty thug. Dory was the closest thing to a black girl other than the aforementioned Tatiana. Frozone for obvious reasons. And Steamboat Willie as the CEO of the corporation because he is literally black...and white. 

All joking aside, there is so little "black" culture in Disney movies so I took this opportunity to help them out.
