I stumbled across this a week ago and I think it’s a nice example of combining “found” media with artistic creativity. It goes beyond combining multiple forms of media—it combines the creative (the rap) with the lines from the film. I’m very impressed by this, and if I had more time I would like to attempt this with another movie. (I know the clip is a little long, but you’ll get the gist of it after about a minute or two so don’t fee like you need to watch the entire clip).

I really enjoyed this video because it highlights how remixing can emphasize a particular aspect of some piece of found media – like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s acting in Predator – and reveal that that aspect has certain characteristics that would be hard to really see in that media’s original form. Only a remix could really show us that Arnold delivers his dialogue in this film at a constant pace that can fit into a single tempo. Nice.
