The main point of my video is that I wanted to add another element to the video without adding any new content. The solution was to add the same video to the screen several times, each playing out of sync from the others. The videos a transparent in certain places depending on the music that is playing. The result is a glitch effect on any moving object that occurs when music is playing.A further element that I added was to play the video in time with the music by scrubbing the video according to the audio level.

To complement the glitch look, I used an electro song called Puppet Mechanics by Carl Phaser. This song has a Creative Commons Licence and can be found at http://starfrosch.ch/2009/07/18/carl_phaser_end_dark. The most effective video for remixing is footage of people moving because there is more of a contrast in glitching organic forms.

Once the final remix video was captured, I noticed that it looks terrible without audio. It is only when you can hear the audio that the video is reacting to that it looks good. It might be hard to further remix this video without the original accompanying audio.
