Okay I clearly like Pokemon:

So this is a great remix because it takes the childhood Pokerap we all know and love:

And re purposes it into a metal, scream-o masterpiece. While they are using an already existing rap that served as a jingle to end a children's show, their piece is entirely creative in it's own right. By countering the child-like genre with a full-out metal performance, it becomes entertaining in an ironic way and undoubtedly gets viewers attention (seriously check it, they earned like 3 times as many views as the OG Pokerap).

Who won? Who's next? You decide!

So far, I've learned a lot about the creative process and how variable everything is when creating. As an author, it has made me more aware of my choices when creating. As an equal consumer, though, it has heightened a lot of my awareness when reading, watching, or taking something in. Now I constantly question each little choice, because there is meaning behind every step.

I also think I've taken some practical skills, such as how to present/ organize my blog, how to edit self-made comics and collages using Photoshop, and how to edit music/sounds with Audacity. Moving forward, I aim to try yet another new technique in my new video. My video editing skills in general stop at Windows Movie Maker. Depending what I choose to do, I'm either going to challenge myself by learning a new software, or use a new technique to make the video (such a challenge would be playing with Adobe Animate).
