Looking for a way to remix by troubling the text in a way that gives you space to critically remix a video or splice together your text with videos? Look no further! Media Breaker is for you.

Here's the explanation from the makers of Media Breaker: "The Media Breaker is a video editor designed for remixing copyrighted content. You upload a video into the Media Breaker–we recommend short pieces, like a news clip, commercial (as in the video above) or a music video. Then you use the Media Breaker’s editing tools to reorder the video, add different music or sound effects, insert text and more. Now you are in control, and can call out things like stereotypes or misleading facts, or build an entirely new narrative. When you dig into the media you learn more about how it’s made, and how you can make your own videos and stories. Break the media, and you can change the message."

Here's an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYovI1K64E4

Powtoon is an easy way to tell a visual story for your remix!

6 Simple Steps to a Powtoon Animated Presentation

Step 1: Script--Put a script together that outlines what will happen in every ‘scene’. We recommend working with the following simple guidelines to create an engaging and captivating flow:

Are you using a voice over?   Write out the dialogue.

What is the beginning?     Middle? and end?

Jedi Tip:  Remember when   reading 90 seconds =  225   words!

S tep 2: Storyboard--Ask yourself how can I visually communicate this? Collect and upload images to grab and go from from the menu.

What already exists in     Powtoon that I can use?

How can I use it for   my remix purposefully?

Step 3: Voiceover Guide/Background Music--You need to either choose a background track for your music or record a voiceover guide. Once you have your voice over guide, all you need to do is upload it into PowToon and you will now be able to add the visuals to the sound.

Should I use an mp3 file of    the script? Or music? Or a combination of both?

Step 4: Divide the Slides--Each slide represents a scene and an idea as outlined in the script.

How can I use my script and storyboard to make sure I know what to say where to communicate clearly?

Step 5:  Populate the Slides--The PowToon timeline is designed to allow you to easily adjust the appearance and timing of all the elements on the screen.

Which graphics, background, props, images and characters do I want to add to my slides?

Step 6: Upload your final product to Youtube.

Here are some great tutorials!
