Using found footage on the Internet Archive to create my own music video. So feel free to “Dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio…”

Love this- already listened and watched it twice. I especially like the long slow pans over the networked landscape of radio at the end and that mysterious group of hobos- where’s that from?

Thanks Keira. Joy Division does rock, and that song always screams for images in my mind when I listen to it. I found the original video on archive.org here. My re-mixing was relatively simple, there was a lot of good footage already, and no audio -which is what inspired me, along with the images of the radio. If I have time I am going to re-edit the middle section of the video, Anto and I watched it together and we decided it just lags a bit during the animated music section. The good part is that it took me about 30 to 40 minutes in iMovie from start to finish, which speaks strongly to the simplicity of that application and the ease with which we could start having students edit their video “papers” in quite different ways.

Why am I not surprised you also enjoy the mellifluous sounds of Joy Division.
