Author’s Note
My intent for my media/literature remix project was to show the amazing amounts of work that went into making Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing along Blog. I wanted to show behind the scenes pictures of the cast and crew, while playing various songs from the webisode, including “Freeze Ray.” I liked the fact that the song “Freeze Ray” went well together with the still shots of the cast and crew, showing moments frozen in time. It was really important to see the work that went into making this webisode and to see the massive following that came out of it, which is why I included pictures from ComiCon, the fans dressed as Dr. Horrible, and the theatre where the webisode was screened on Halloween. I chose to put the hilarious video of Dr. Horrible crashing the Emmy Awards Show as my closing sequence because I really liked what he had to say about web media taking over television, even if it was supposed to be a parody. Joss Whedon is notorious for doing comical bits that act as social commentary.
