Repositioning.

By now most of you must have heard about the re-cutting of the Shining trailer to show a sort of drama/comedy movie out of it. A link to both the quicktime and the history of it’s creation can be found here.

I like this as a sort of jigsaw puzzle game, taking different pieces and putting them in a different order, playing with different cues to convey an entirely different meaning. For those that haven’t seen the Shining, it will mean nothing but perhaps be a little amusing. For those that have - it is hilarious to think that a different voice-over, the script of the voice-over and the Peter Gabriel track could make it a mid-summer hit.
