Example of the kind of MTV music video Jenkins talks about in Textual Poachers - non-narrative, the opposite in many ways to the fan videos that are remixed from popular TV series.

A very good track, not sure where the samples are from.

A great video. A world made only with typographics. Is that a remix culture? I hope you like it!

Oh, I love this. I'm not sure whether it's remix - that would depend on your definition. It certainly repurposes letters/words in an interesting way. I'm intrigued by whether or not this is "literature", too. The story itself is rather simplistic, but it's so beautiful to watch, almost more visual art/poetry/music than narrative, although there IS a narrative there. Interesting too that it's made "for a DJ". That suggests that the music and the FEELING are the focus here? Thanks, Thais!

Interesting NYTimes article about the many creative subtitlings of the scene from Downfall (a 2004 movie about Hitler's demise) - this article is a wonderful example of how you can analyse a whole group of remixes. If this were an academic article you'd also want to include more context about this (what is remixing? what kinds of other video/subtitle remixes exist? what sort of things are scholars writing about remixes like this?) but the ANALYSIS of what the remixes means would be perfect. I especially like how the author makes interpretations across the whole group - see some of my annotations/comments.
