Mary Van Deusen FanVids
I've been making music videos since 1984, when I first discovered them at a Texas Star Trek convention. Since then, I've been obsessed by the idea of telling stories by re-interpreting the lyrics of songs in the context of TV shows and movies. They've been presented at various conventions, and were described in a talk I gave at the MIT Media Lab. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoy making them.
