Media is always looking for the next great idea or at least the next unique idea. Well I’ve definitly stumbled across a unique one last weekend. Casey Pugh, a mind behind Vimeo has started a new project called Star Wars Uncut in which you can stake claim to 15 seconds of a Star Wars movie that you then recreate in any way you would like. After the entire movie is claimed and produced all of the clips will be compiled to create the most unique version of Star Wars A New Hope ever seen.
If Lucas Films isn’t already supporting this project they need to get their heads right and back them. Maybe help out with possible DVD production after the completion of the project. You’ve got 2000 of the most die hard fans rebuilding a classic. There is no doubt that if cultivated properly this can turn into a fantastic venture bringing old media and new media together.
Hats off to Casey and his team for coming up and executing another great idea.
Have you found another great, unique idea floating out there? Let me know.
