We interviewed Kim to learn about his veiws on remixing and her inspiration for the film:
CCuk: When did you first become interested in Remixing?
Stuart: That was only my second attempt of remixing other peoples media, I have also entered the StrayCinema competition , which I also enjoyed it's amazing what different interpretations can be made from similar media.
CCuk: Why do you like remixing?
Stuart: I like remixing because it allows me to take part in the editing part of film making, it is not always possible to create your own footage. It allows me to tell the story as I imagine it which is quite often different to what others see.
CCuk: How did you find the materials you used for the remix? Would you
wish there are better archives?
Stuart: I spent a lot of time going through internet archive and also on FlickrStorm. I found that there was very limited quality open source video which was why I chose to form the majority of my film using pictures. Having better archives would be very useful.
CCuk: How did you pick the particular interpretation of your film?
Stuart: I chose to base my film on the them "Britannia Rules" because I feel that England is a great country and although we have made some mistakes there are a lot of good things about it.
CCuk: Are you, or do you want to be, professionally involved in film
making?
Stuart: I would very much like to be involved in film making in the future, I make mini movies with friends and edit them at the minute, but it would be fabulous to actually make a feature length film.
