very VERY interesting blogspot website i found......

This blog spot is done by someone else with a similar idea/concept
except the owner of this one has gone on a slightly different look and feel to her work or ideas:

check out her page:

i do have to warn people that it isn't for younger eyes to view!!!

i love the first few images - the classic representations, but i love the little story the owner/publisher types underneath them which justifies the reason the images below that!

some more research.......

Within the past year or so, i have come across a youtube page which is not an average youtube page.
This youtube page is dedicated to celebrating and highlighting some amazing acting, films, music and more. however the group or people who run this page have decided to do these tributes in a different manner.
check out some of their work:



***to view their official site click here***

if you are wondering the name of this group, they have called themselves The Hillywood Show.
it is a group of friends that originally got together to make a funny video one day with a simple camera and some costumes they rented, made, or borrowed. After that one video, a huge fanbase has occured, created the infamous The Hillywood Show.
The creators are 2 sisters, Hannah and Hilly Hindi and a few of their friends have created such a phenomenon that nothing is ever going to surpass them! (well i hope not anyways - these guys are fantastic!!!)
i love their mix of parody, costumes, music, dance and more. they create the greatest, most inventive (what i think) video art that has ever been produced for a youtube fanbase! 
i personally love the New Moon parody. Who Knew (hahaha pun intended! - you'll ee why soon) that mixing the Twilight Saga New Moon parodied clips with P!nk songs (you get the pun now?) would work so well. I couldn't stop laughing.
furthermore, even though The Hillywood Show have such a strict concept or idea to follow (parodying films and music stars doesn't leave alot of room for inprov) they seem to come up with new way to communicate what has to be communicated!!

thanks guys for creating such great entertainment for everyone!
Keep up the amazing work!



in relation for my folio this semester.....
since i am working with fairytales i think these guys are such great inspiration for me.
they are proof that re-creating or parodying (which i don't particularly want to do for my folio) can be done successfully and creatively!
they have combined something that we love to something that is popular, well known or a phenomenon in society today and have created a phenomenon in themselves!
i don't acheive to create a phenomenon but i love their attitude towards their videos (or what i get from watching their videos), which is that they want to express something through something else but still try and keep true to the original as much as possible!!!

just so you know
the videos above are as follows
Eclipse Parody
Lady Gaga's Christmas
The Runaways Parody
The Vampire Diaries Parody
and
Dark Knight.

Enjoy!!
