Contest Rules for 2009

All 33 entries in alphabetical order with creator's description

All 33 entries are also in Penn on iTunesU and on YouTube

Bat Dad by Halley Goodman	I mashed the two movies Mrs. Doubtfire and the Dark Knight. Daniel Hillard decides to become Batman, in order to win his kids back. He wins his kids back but now he must save the world and is conflicted. It shows the anthropological theory of anomaly.
Blowing the First Lady Sky High by Carrie Klapper	I am trying to show the relation between categories and anomalies.
Candice Breitz by Margot Neuburger with Alaina Urbahns, Natalie Sweetnath and Julie Perkins	This short DVD is destined to be a "trailer" for the work of video artist Candie Breitz. Our goals are to provide a brief overview of Breitz' work and to interest viewers in her art.
Dorothy, Two Knights by Jennifer Levy	By mashing up Tootsie and the Dark Knight, I am trying to show how Batman and Dorothy can "do good" and reveal their own concept of self.
Dr. Joker by Ali Levin	How Dr. Hess in Jr. transformed into the Joker in an experiment gone wrong. Through this story, I showed the anthropological concept of categories.
Escaping the Ocean by Brian Flanagan	Tony Stark is trying to leave Danny's Ocean band of criminals.
Everyone's hero by Khanh-Anh Le	Use characters from the Incredibles and Shrek 2 to illustrate the usage of categories in each and how they create issues when the two worlds collide.
Gillian Wearing by Laura Bridgman with Adria Lamba, Elana Greene and David Markel	To give a two-minute promotion and overview of the artist Gillian Wearing and her work.
Gotham's Father by Joe Romito	The loss of identity through altered physical form and social perception.
How Not to Act by Jenna Reimenschneider	I am trying to show the transformations characters go through in movies, specifically in Hancock and Pretty Woman.
Iron Men by Melissa Stangl	I created a faux trailer that merged two movies, Iron Man and The Holiday, and showed that Amanda, one character from The Holiday, hired Tony Stark to kill her ex-boyfriend Ethan. In the end, both Ethan and Tony become Iron Men and battle for Amanda.
Iron Nanny by Meredith Fineman	The humorous creation of a new superhero (Mrs. Doubtfire) by Tony Stark from "Iron Man"
Jeremy Fish by Samantha Crabbe with Michelle Yoon and Ang Shi Hui	To promote Jeremy Fish as a legitimate artist due to his contribution to art commercialism.
Junior High by Eliza Chute Song by Ingrid Michaelson	To show how outcasts can change their concept of self through friendship.
Love Lockdown: Tony and Baby by Trina Hyun	I'm showing how the worlds of characters change, and how one acts as a catalyst for that change.
Moses: Deliver Change by Steve Kwizera	I'm trying to boil "The Ten Commandments" down to what it truly was: a story about change, rather than a 3 1/2 hour epic about several scandals.
Mr. and Mrs. Iron Man by Alexandra Armour	The metaphor that love is war.
Mr. Smith and Mrs. Connor: The Affairs by Michael Winston	I wanted to take two movies filled with action and strip them of all the action. Upon rebuilding them together, a new story revolving around affairs and marital issues is found. The video shows the trailer of a new movie portraying the changes all their lives are taking.
No Way Out of the Field of Dreams by Allison Seelig	I am trying to show how baseball serves an important mythic function for the nation by making it into a national security issue obsessed over by the government.
Obedian - The Fall of Evil, the Rise of Good by Allison Holzberg	I am trying to show a theory of categories by showing 2 different categories and forcing people to make a choice.
Pacifying The Joker by Dan O'Brien	To describe the anthropological theme of anomaly.
Paid Programing: Joker Doubtfire, Inc. by Frank Smith	My goals for the mashup are 1) to parody the exuberant, pandering tone of modern infomercials through the mashup of two totally dissimilar movies, and 2) to thereby entertain the viewers.
Penelope's Last Stand by Michelle Jeong with Professor Krasniewicz	I created a movie trailer combining X-Men 3 and Penelope. The basis of my trailer is the theory of anomalies and the different ways there are to deal with them - either to eliminate the source of the anomaly or to accept it the way it is.
Pipilotti Rist by Connie Hwang with Hoa Hoang and Caroline Ott	We wanted to create a short trailer for the swiss artist Pipilotti Rist.
Pretty Dark Woman by Justin Besen	It shows what happens when people of different categories clash and whether they can change for love. It is a fictional trailer between Dark Knight and Pretty Woman.
Slumdog Millionaire 2 by Akash Barot with Adam El Sehamy and Zhibo Wang	If you thought Slumdog Millionare was the last great Bollywood movie, you would be mistaken. Get ready for the sequel!
Superhero Daycare by Morgan Alden	I wanted to combine an animated film with a film with actors to created a new world where characters can make changes to step across boundaries to save the day!
The Dark Night Woman by Arielle Salomon	Combining Pretty Woman and the Dark Knight into a scandalous new love story.
The Greatest Revenge by Lauren Yates	Harriet M. Welsch, Mary Katherine Gallagher and Carrie White won't be teased anymore. The video combines a children's move, a mindless comedy and a horror classic into the ultimate revenge movie.
The Muppets Take "Manhattan" by Aaron Walker	I'm trying to show that puppets can be lewd AND funny - unlike Avenue Q. Here I've spliced the audio from Woody Allen's "Manhattan" over video from "The Muppets take Manhattan".
Video + Poem + Painting by William Strasser	Whether in Classical mythology, Renaissance painting, 20th century poetry or modern music videos, depictions of suffering have never ceased to captivate audiences. I aim to juxtapose these depictions in order to highlight ways they have changed and ways that they remain the same, identifying something inherent to the human condition.
Washed Up by Ted Rawlings	I wanted to explain the categories of super-heroes, shamans through a trailer mashing together Iron Man and the Wild Hogs.
X-men: Hell Hath No Fury by Garret McKay	This mashup is showing change through metaphor. In the beginning, Rogue and Bobby are in love but, because Rogue can't touch Bobby, he moves on to Kitty. Now, Rogue wants to win Kitty back by hiring the X-men, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, even if it kills him. Bobby and Kitty must now fight for their love, just like Rogue.
