New Mash Up Video: Enjoy The Cylons
Ever since I was a kid, i have loved the Cylons from the TV show Battlestar Galactica. I even made my very own super cool silver cylon mask out of paper mache for halloween once. When fan of the modern remake of BSG, and an artist I have produced, Laura Harley joked about listening to Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’ and thinking ‘enjoy the cylons’, I had my fuel to create the ultimate cylon tribute video.
Over the last few months, this video has become quite a mash up. What I did is start with the remix of Enjoy The Silence by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Then I edited it and re created parts so that Laura could sing over top. So that was the musical mash up, a remake of the remix of the original song.
Then for the video, I cut my favorite clips, chosen to work with the lyrics of the song, and give a good overview of the new and old cylons, and show some of the drama and conflict between the cylons themselves.
So enough reading already, check out the video!

(I posted a higher quality version of this in comments below, because youtube quality is horrible! Good old 1920’s mono sound.)
That’s a butt-kicking video my friend. I just commented on Laura’s site that I might have to watch that show again.
I also mentioned another “cover” idea. Remember “The Clash” and “Rock the Casbah”? I’m thinking of a remake targeted at business-owners called “Lock the Cashbox”. Now that I think about it, it should be for Restaurants so the chorus lyrics can say: “The Chef don’t like it, Lock the Cashbox, Lock the Cashbox” (wink)

Due to popular demand, I am posting a higher quality quicktime version of this for download.
The original footage is not great quality so don’t expect much improvement, but anything is better than crap youtube quality!
