Jockeying for attention
Amateur film editors can subversively recut movies and adverts.
But will their work make the big studios smile or sue?
Danny Bradbury
Fancy seeing Stanley Kubrick's horror movie The Shining as a feelgood family romance? How about Sleepless in Seattle as a stalker thriller? Or, if music's more your thing, perhaps you'd like to see Blondie perform with The Doors? A community of amateur film editors is casting movie trailers, TV commercials and music videos in a new light. Video jockeying is with us, but is it a new media revolution or simply empty irony? And - perhaps more important - will movie studios get the joke?
