HW Creativity

New Media sources such as YouTube foster creativity because it is a space where anyone can go on and speak their mind and be themselves on a platform for other people to see, post musical videos, post dance videos, etc. One interesting aspect of YouTube video’s comes with the idea of mash-ups. In the article, Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?,it discusses how there have been instances of Disney characters rapping well known songs. These videos have a tremendous amount of views which actually helps Disney out. Who would think to ever have pooh bear wrapping on a song unless a source like YouTube was around. These creators love the idea that these videos are being viewed by people all over the world. They are their own type of artist. The major factor of mash-ups of interpretative videos is that they are not protected under copy right law, so creators are able to use their imagination and create videos as they please.
