Audio Parodies

Thousands of parodies of anything exist on Youtube. I was reminded of this after one of the TA's at the college, Todd Shelton, showed me an audio project that he created as a student.

The concept of this has been used by almost everyone on Youtube. Not even realizing that they are performing a technique called cut-up. Either by using their own audio, or taking audio from other source, they are creating a new media experience using their own sense of creativity. Several groups on Youtube, such as the Idiots of Garry's Mod and Team Four Star, and almost entirely cut-up artists. I never even thought of this concept until I heard of the cut-up technique in N100. Most of the time they are just a piece of audio over a clip, but some like the pre-mentioned examples are a hilarious yet unique experience.

This is just another option for New Media minded people and creative fans to create something unique and hilarious.
