Shawn Bueche (@bentvisual) remixed a post of mine about the photography business, using a video to present the same essential content in a different format, medium and communication style.

If you want to read the post Five Lessons: How Photographers can Create New Business Models first, feel free, but I’m betting you’ll watch the remixed video first:

Photography Business Remixed from Shawn Bueche on Vimeo.

Shawn Bueche explains:

The photography industry has been breached by the new power of amateurs. However, while most do not accept this recent infiltration, Taylor Davidson argues that amateur photographers may be providing new opportunities for profession[al] photographers. This statement elicits the question: “How?” I have compacted Davidson’s answer and explanation into a visual presentation of the material.

… By composing a short video with formal information to generate an informal plea, I’ve changed the audience and the method by which the audience will receive the message. … I’ve reorganized the content of Taylor Davidson’s article to form something that feels more personal to my style and voice in the issue.

If you were to remix a blog post of yours, how would you do it? Which one would you choose? How would you repackage and reposition the content for different audiences? How could you remix the content to create different mixes of context? All of this, obviously, is critical for building better ways to tell, create and shape stories and narratives.
