BY MARTIN LEDUC. TORONTO, CANADA (CINEMA MINIMA) — Totalrecut.com has gathered a community of over 350 video remixers — artists whose work consists of re-edited and manipulated video clips.
The site bills itself as a “one stop shop for all things remixed.” It has a growing gallery with over 500 remixes so far, and a section for editing tutorials. It hosts a forum and and a blog on video remixing, and it runs video remixing contests.
A recent contest on Totalrecut brought in entries from around the globe, which were judged by highly visible figures of internet culture — among them were “Free Culture” author Lawrence Lessig and famous fan vidder Luminosity.
Totalrecut is the currently the most successful “big umbrella” community for video remixers on the internet, bringing together artists and videos from a variety of genres and niche communities. I’d reccomend the site to anyone interested in online remix culture or found footage filmmaking.
