The video remixer is a way for users to remix a politician’s speech, I think we would all like politicians to say what we want to hear e.g. “we are giving everyone some free money” and “the government is scraping the alcohol tax”. With the video remixer, you might not be able to make a politician say anything but with enough mini sound bites you can make them say some interesting statements.

This is roughly what I want the video player to like, there is a list of videos on the right displayed as the words in the sound bite.

On the left is the video screen and below is an area where a sentance / statement gets constructed.

The video player is made with flash and uses xml to load the video and dialog as text.

My groups idea for a website is a political satire site with user generated content.

So far I have instanlled drupal into my server and have begun to test out different ways of adding video content.

The general idea of our website is a facebook for new zealand politicians that takes the piss out of them. We need to have a main drawing point to our site and after looking into the audio remixing of cassetteboy we have come up with the idea of remixing politician’s speaches. We will also data mine from other websites to display what the general public have to say about a particular politician alongside news about that politician.
