Back to my old habits of trading sleep for video editing. Mashup of “Risky Business” and “The Little Mermaid” for Anand Rao‘s visual rhetoric class.

Enjoy!

    [...] Serena Epstein produced a magical mashup re-contextualizing Little Mermaid by setting it to the soundtrack of the Risky Business trailer for professor Anand Rao’s Visual Rhetoric course. Behold the magic of this brilliant mashup, Ariel is framed in a whole new lght! [...]

    Dear S.

    Very well done — the brilliance of this mashup is the way the audio reveals the sexualized persona of the dear LM. In the words of my (adult) daughter, “I’m not going to lie, when you revisit those LM selections they seem to be distinctly, um, PG-13.”

    Keep up the good work,

    Andrew,

    I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ve got a few others in the works, but it’s always so difficult to find the time. Maybe soon!
