For this assignment, I chose my mashup using three different mediums: video, photo, and animation.

( has both screen recording or eye jack and video without eye jack.
I was able to animate this by using eye-jack which I just learned the week prevues in new media’s Ar (virtual reality class.) I also learned in my digital images class that magazines or ad’s photospheres will purposely leave negative space for there to copy (text). I used this as my first video shot having some text that gave context to what I was filming. As for the stop motion photos, I think my overall understanding of my camera settings and lighting has proven eminently threw the light class.
I did find this project challenging in the sense that I wanted to do more with it, if I was given this project a few months from now I would have incorporated after effects or illustrator two platforms that I think would have been fun to experiment with this mashup mentality. I also felt that I could have added more of original touch to it when thinking about the mashup concept.
Going back to Palo Tossolini’s mashup concept, I wanted to do something timely, and relevant. I liked what Mr.Tosolini said about his, “ guerilla marketing” strategy. Leverage a moment, or an event and surf the wave of interest to showcase your product. I chose the water lantern festival for this mashup because I thought it represented everything Mr.Tossolini depicted. I also thought of how I can use the guerilla marketing strategy as a content creator, by leveraging a Japanese tradition that happens ruffly once a year, to show how my storytelling style and add value to people on social media by giving them interesting experiences they can be in-the-know about by following my platforms.
