First there were Music Mashups, collages of existing songs spliced together to make “new” music. You got chocolate in my peanut butter! Now there’s Video Mashups. Except this effort is more deliberate. They are making blue-screened films for the explicit purpose of handing it over to amateur mashers, whereas music mashers tend to yoink commercially released songs without the express written permission of said artists. I think it’s a great idea (both mashers, actually). Give amateur filmmakers a chance to experiment with special effects and compositing techniques.

What’s next, real-life mashups? Reorganizing someone’s life for your personal amusement? Oh wait, that’s The Game.
