reddit wants your inauguration day video stories

As we near the inauguration next week, we want to facilitate appropriate documenting of this historic event. So, reddit will be teaming up with remix kings, Eclectic Method to create an historic remix of your inauguration day videos. You might recognize Eclectic Method from their recent dance remix of Stephen Colbert & Lawrence Lessig.



Record your inauguration day experience, activities, thoughts, parties, moments, etc., share them with your reddit family, and then Eclectic Method will take all of that and create one inauguration video dance remix to rule them all. This remix will be made available for downloading here, as well as CPR a news remix program produced by Eclectic Method and Dark Igloo.

To participate, we invite redditors all over the world to:
1. Upload your video to youtube or your favorite video site
2. Submit the video URL to [Inauguration]
3. Upload your raw video files to a free file host or FTP (filesavr.com works well for us)
4. Add the URL of your raw file in the comments of your post and/or send to erik
5. Comment, response, remix other videos, remix the remix, etc., show to the grandkids in 2049*.

*On their hoverpack HUDs of course
