Rounding out our panel on fair use in videogame culture will be videogame designer, filmmaker and remix artist Jay Pavlina. Jay is best known as the man behind Super Mario Bros. Crossover (trailer embedded above), a playable Flash game that combines the levels from “Super Mario Bros.” with the characters and mechanics from a number of different 8-bit games, resulting in a disorientingly manic reimagining of one of the most well-loved games of all time.
Jay Pavlina is an all-around creative-minded individual who dabbles in various art forms and has a great appreciation for comedy. He is mostly known for his popular flash game, Super Mario Bros. Crossover, but he’s also an independent filmmaker and has made over 100 short films. Jay loves most of all to laugh and to make others laugh, and he likes to inspire people to enjoy their lives as much as possible. He’s always working on something new and looks forward to sharing his next creation with you.
