Take a bunch of ordinary YouTube videos and try to combine them into a single musical clip. No luck? No worries. You can check out what a true YouTube mashup master has done instead.
Ophir "Kutiman" Kutiel is a 25-year-old musician, composer and producer from Tel Aviv and he is definitely a master of YouTube mashup videos. His latest product is a clip called "My Favorite Color" and it is quickly making its way around the Internet.
The video samples many different YouTube videos — all of which Kutiel links to at the end of the clip — and it sounds like one seamless song. It almost feels as if the clips were recorded for this specific project — it'd probably make us feel better about our lack of musical mashup talent if that were the case!
This clip isn't Kutiel's first mashup endeavor. In 2009, he released the result of an online music video project called ThruYOU. Like "My Favorite Color," it was a combination of many sampled YouTube videos and it took Kutiel months to complete.
