Girl Talk Remix!

Remix Girl Talk!

We're holding a remix contest - the best Girl Talk videos created before June 1st will be shown at the NXNE film and music festival in Toronto! They'll also be featured in Basement Tapes - a feature documentary about copyright which will air on The Documentary Channel in 2008!

To sweeten the pot - we'll be awarding the best entry $250 in cold hard cash!. The final deadline is August 15, 2007.

You can download the source files and then re-edit them on your own computer, or you can take advantage of our partnership with EyeSpot and edit the video in your web browser, without any special software! Check out the contest on EyeSpot!. Or, to edit using your own software, read the instructions below.

This is the video you'll be remixing!

You can add your original material that you can find on this site - or other material you combine from your own footage or from the net!

We've also included a few sample packs - other interviews and shows we thought you might like.

How It Works

1) Download the Final Cut Pro files. They're big files so be patient!
You can either download by Direct Download, or bitTorrent. Bittorrent spreads the size over other computers, so it will be faster, and you can cue up multiple files and then let them download. You can get bittorrent here.

File 1 - Full edit - Direct Download (930mb) - Torrent File

These next files are some extras - note completely necessary but could round your video out.

File 2 - Cleveland show - Direct Download (538 mb) - Torrent File

File 3 - Columbus show - Direct Download (84mb) - Torrent File

File 4 - Extra interviews - Direct Download (143mb) - Torrent File

The format is Final Cut 5.1. If you have a different version, there is also an XML file that contains the sequence which you can open by choosing FIle>Import XML in Final Cut.

If you don't have Final Cut Pro, you can still import the movie files to edit in whatever editor you choose

2) Edit the video however you like! We're looking for edits that include the interviews and the shows together.

3) When you are done, compress the movie as a QuickTime file.

4) Then upload it via the submit form!

Remember to keep the original movie in high-resolution! If you are chosen for the contest, we'll be contacting you for the high resolution version of your remix.
