To newsjack the Oscars, Team Urgent Genius have launched a new website www.theartistifier.com today that lets users turn any YouTube video into an award-winning silent movie in the style of soon to be Oscar-winning The Artist. If making a modern silent film is the best way to win an award, let's make the worst movies and hip-hop videos of all time Oscar-worthy, eh? Users can choose a video and have it instantly made into a black and white film, where they can add their own captions before sending on the finished product to friends and family via Facebook and Twitter. The Artistifier will also feature in an iris’ talk ‘Not So Allied Forces of Social TV Comedy’ at leading global interactive festival SXSW next month.
Returns 2nd, 3rd and 4th March 2012. Register at UrgentGenius.com! Read More ›
