EVERYTHING IS A REMIX Video Shows Movie Elements Reused Over the Years

View fullsize

A few years ago we posted an "Everything is a Remix" video for The Matrix, which shows how some of its elements were borrowed from other movies. There were a series of videos like this created by Kirby Ferguson, and today we bring you Everything is a Remix Remastered, his original four part series combined in a single video.

It features more examples of how several filmmakers have been inspired by the films of the past and used elements from them to tell their own stories. It also goes beyond movies, and shows examples of music, technology, and more. It's really a fascinating video essay to watch, so I strongly suggest to check it out when you get a chance. You might just learn something new.

"In the five years since the series launched, Everything is a Remix has been viewed over two million times and produced a popular TED Talk. Amazingly, Remix continues to change the way people think about creativity, originality, and copyright.

"To celebrate the five year anniversary, I’ve polished up the original four parts and merged them into a single video. For the first time now, the whole series is available as a single video with proper transitions all the way through, unified styling, and remixed and remastered audio. Part One has been entirely rebuilt in HD."

Enjoy!
