How do we change the story of the world?

There is only one way that we change our story.

Our stories have an opportunity to change whenever we have an authentic experience that экскурсии по московским переулкам our old story or world view can’t explain. When these experiences happen, our story must change in order that we may comprehend the new experience, which broadens our understanding of the world and ourselves. While real life experiences are always the most effective agents of change, most people today are trapped by their story of rent, bills, and family obligations that leaves them very little time to engage in new experiences.

There is another way to create this kind of experience. Video remixes copy, transform, and combine existing video and audio to create a new experience, one that can change our understanding of the world.

How can video remixes change our understanding of the world?

Video Remix Producers work together in the Video Remix Forums to discuss ideas for potential remixes. Once the idea has been well-developed, it is submitted through this form and will be included in our bank of video remix ideas.

Film Editors will be invited to browse this video remix bank for remixes that resonate with them. If they see one they want to create, they will contact Chris and let him know. Together with the producers, film editors will begin a process of gathering approved b-roll and music to create a final remix. Video remix producers are welcome to offer their feedback to any of the remixes currently under production.

Once the video remix is finished, it will be translated by our team of Translation Specialists. Marketing materials will be created to help promote the video and Video Remix Promoters will help to establish content distribution partnerships with various social and web channels (i.e. Shareable, Upworthy, Thunderclap, HuffingtonPost, Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, etc.) to promote the video as widely as possible.
