sorry mate, but i still can't agree with You...
first of all, "re-edited" is wrong word to describe this both situations. if You take samples and do with it completely new thing by Your own, use Your imagination, technique, talent, do really hard, creative work... then You can't say that is the same thing when You take pictures from anime and put exactly this same picture into the clip in another sequences.... even if this tell some kind of new story, ... i think that is not fair to compare this two situation in the way like You do it... for music producers and for those who do their music video from basics...
I still don't see the difference.
Music Producer finds something he likes on somebody else's track, which he owns on MP3/WAV/vinyl/cd/whatever, and decides to use it in a track of his 'own' (how much of his own is pretty debateable, depending on heavy the sample usage and how it is used).
Video Maker finds a song he likes, wants to do a video tribute to it. What does he do? Spend more money and time than the Music Producer getting a resonable cast and setting and editing, or is he just going to take an existing piece of work, and re-edit it to his own tastes, just like the music producer?
It's the same thing, really. Everyone just thinks it's different because every electronic musician and his dog have sampled at some point or other, whereas the practice is way less common amongst film makers.
Which is ironic, because the practice of using other people's art in your own has been around before anyone even knew what the fuck sampling was.
