Fair Use Remix: Elf

The principle guiding my work is principle six: "quoting in order to recombine elements to make a new work that depends for its meaning on (often unlikely) relationships between the elements." My work is covered under this principle from the Fair Use Guidelines because I took the existing clips from the movie "Elf" and gave it a new meaning: I made it into a horror film and made Buddy and the other elves seem like they were out to sabotage the Christmas holiday.
