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. |

How Not to Act by Jenna Reimenschneider |

| 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
