Ok, many of you have probably seen this, but I hadn’t until Brian Storm pointed this out on the Mediastorm blog. It’s a hilarious but telling example of how music (along with some creative visual editing) can totally change the meaning of a piece of work.
This should serve as a humorous warning to those of us who advocate the use of music in nonfiction multimedia: Use with care.
