REMIX of Alice in Wonderland

After the class discussion about the concept of "remix", I started thinking about what remixes out there I really liked. First I thought of the collages I did when I was ten years old of Leonardo DiCaprio. Then I remembered a video someone showed me that I think is a really great example of a remix. This 19 year old australian editing wiz kid took audio from Disney's Alice in Wonderland and made a song with the audio (90% of it). I assume he added the drum beat himself. I think the song is pretty catchy and dreamy. He also edited the footage from the movie nicely to correspond with his song.

Here is the link to the video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMurlKaAj_4

I would like to do something similiar without being too ambitious. I was thinking of doing a simple part from the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I was thinking of using Wizard of Oz footage. I don't think I would be able to do a whole song, but perhaps just a part of one wouldn't be too bad. I noticed in the kid's video he had a nice mix of layers. I wonder how long it took him to do it. Maybe I should stick with a Leo DiCaprio collage instead.....

I wonder if there are other songs I should try to remix and make my own also. There are quite a few Alice in Wonderland remixes on youtube. I can't wait for the Tim Burton remix!

(p.s. saw the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland and it was AWFUL. Total bummer. Why does he have to be so mainstream and cheesy?)
