What is Remix Culture?
That is the question. If you have the answer you could be in with the chance to win some pretty cool prizes. Total Recut is hosting a Video Remix challenge with this as it’s theme. You can submit a video between 30 seconds and 3 minutes to give your take on what you think Remix Culture is all about. There are many ways you could go about this so why not fire up you imagination and get creative. I have a few ideas swimming around in that fishbowl on top of my shoulders! Hopefully I can pull something out the the bag for this. Anyways, here’s some more info…
