Tim Park sits at home in his one-man studio in Ontario, Canada surrounded by piles of anime DVDs and a ton of tech.
He's already "ripped" footage from the anime series "Genshiken" from one of his DVDs to his computer. Now, 34-year-old Park is loading up a CD soundtrack of the comedy musical "Avenue Q." Using editing software, he's going to make the characters created in Japan sing a tune written for a Broadway show by painstakingly matching the mouth movements in the video to the lyrics of the song.
Park is one of a growing community of so-called fan editors who "remix" Japanese pop culture by themselves, then upload the results online for others to see.
