Vexercise 6 drops!!

[lola]

And we are in the the advanced round // genre mashing/AU vexercise!

Produce a 1 minute video edit that combines your selected source with another source from a different genre (i.e. fantasy, western, sitcom, film noir), and/or use editing to transform the genre of your source text. Audio can be of your choosing.

This vexercise is inspired by the many amazing genre shifting AU vids coming out of Chinese vidding these days, but there are many histories to these types of genre mash ups. Share your favorites in the comments!

A few favorites of mine:

Ramen Cowboy - Tampopo

[valoise]

As part of Vexercises exercise 6 I chose to reframe the movie Tampopo as a Western using Ennio Morricone's iconic theme song from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Some of the common Western tropes include:

The mysterious stranger riding into town - Goro
His trusty steed - Goro’s truck
Beautiful woman with a troubled past - Tampopo, a widow with a failing restaurant
A villain - Pisken, who harasses Tampopo about closing her restaurant
The gunfight - in this case a fistfight in the street
Riding off into the sunset
