Virginia Tech Video Tributes as Mashups
This moving video of the candlelight vigil at Virginia Tech was posted on Planet Blacksburg by Tim Leaton. Along with being a moving tribute to the lives lost this week, it's also a demonstration of the power of online video editing tools. The video was edited using Jumpcut, a website that works like video editing software. You can upload your own clips or find other clips on the Internet, and use their tool to edit it together, and invite other people to edit it as well. For example, this particular video is open to editing, so anyone could use the footage to craft their own tribute. It will be interesting to see if more people use tools like Jumpcut to collect and edit their own memorial mashups based on other people's footage. -andy
