I am an internet junkie. Most of you know this. Very rarely does somebody (with the exception of a small handful of people on my Google RSS Feed Reader) show me a video on Youtube, a cool website, or revolutionary blog post without my having already read it… sometimes months earlier.
One of my most recent discoveries absolutely blew me away. Pogo is a breakout electronic artist from Perth, Australia. In the video below, he has taken sound bits and sweet beats from the movie Disney’s Mary Poppins and mixed them into a soothing yet very catchy tune. His talent isn’t limited to audio editing, however. If you watch the video, you will note that nearly every image is in complete harmony with the steady thump of the electro-bass. The dancing, the singing, everything is in sync.
The time that was put into the editing of the video and audio of this production has to be unimaginable, but it’s worth every delicious second.
The ability to take something ordinary, or even extraordinary and turn it into something that is yours, something that is unique is something I admire greatly. There is an entire world of plain, average, mediocre, vanilla things out there. We are surrounded by the bland and common. Every so often, someone takes a piece of the average and creates something unbelievable out of it. When will that person be you?
If you like the Mary Poppins video, he has a few others based on Disney and Harry Potter movies that are just as phenomenal as this one. His music is also up for free download (by the artist, so it’s legal) here.
