I had a lot of fun with these mashups, and you can see mine below!
My very useful mashup is this Weather Page I created. This lays out the current weather from my two most visited weather forecast websites. Now I don’t need to check them both individually, and I can compare the information between the two sites with a quick glance. As a bonus, this mashup is located on a personal page, which I frequently use.
Another fun project is my backgroundNoise website. This is a personal mashup for fun and in remembrance of times past. These video mashups actually started on the multiplier (it’s the last one on my list below). I liked the results so much that I figured out how to make it work on a personal website. The trickiest part was getting the middle video to be muted while the other two played.
I think I had way too much fun mashing videos together. I created 4 so far, with varying reasons behind each. Here are my mashups that are on the multiplier:

This Olympic brother-sister duo caught my attention this year, while the Rage video is something that I’ve seen before and lingers in my mind. For fun, I mashed these two together because they are both videos about family, but one shows familial love, while the other shows quite the opposite. I wanted to see what would happen. What I found most interesting was how the two videos were in sync. This led to some rather disturbing and intriguing overlaps with the video and sound. I think this is attributed to the formatting nature of the two videos — one is a newscast, which are undoubtedly formatted to the minute; the other is a documentary of sorts, which most likely also follows a format. The formatting doesn’t surprise me, but how close they both are to each other was a surprise.

I read about this family in some smut magazine recently. While snooping around online, I found some videos of the children, and a news interview about them. This mashup is simply to bring more attention to the issue.

I stumbled upon the first video of the children and thought it could use a little background music. A quick search later, and I found the gem on the right. I think they play well together, and music adds a little more drama to the interview of the children.

This is the same thing as the backgroundNoise website, but it’s on the multiplier. I started on the multiplier, liked the results, and then figured out how to make it work on a personal website.
