For our project we created a video compilation with an original mix of music, along with an original album cover created for this assignment. The cover takes inspiration from each of the three songs. The mellowness of Mind over Matter forms the background. The groovy sound of Baby I'm Yours makes up the border, while the brashness of Stuntin Like my Daddy is expressed in our laser shooting faces. The mix is composed of 3 songs chosen by each of our group members, and shows how although we all have different tastes, our love of music is something that connects all of us. In the video we showcase each of us engaging in our artistic passions, and also snippets of who we are. Credits: Dancing by Brian Lai Album Art by Brian Li Mixing by Kevin Lee

Sounds fill the world around us, and they influence us in unique ways. It can change how we feel, how we remember things, and even connect us with one another.
For our project we created a video compilation with an original mix of music, along with an original album cover created for this assignment.
The cover takes inspiration from each of the three songs. The mellowness of Mind over Matter forms the background. The groovy sound of Baby I'm Yours makes up the border, while the brashness of Stuntin Like my Daddy is expressed in our laser shooting faces.
The mix is composed of 3 songs chosen by each of our group members, and shows how although we all have different tastes, our
love of music is something that connects all of us.
In the video we showcase each of us engaging in our artistic passions, and also snippets of who we are.

I like the album cover. After listening to the songs, i can relate to how each one is reflected in the cover. In the video, i can tell that dance is a major part for at least one of you, but what about the other two? I wasn't completely sure what their interests based on the video. Do the other two interests lie in sound and visual design?
I like the visual depiction of the audio file during the video - it's reminiscent of a behind the scenes, which helps explain the design process you guys used. I also like the transitions you guys used. On the other hand, the other visuals (of yourselves) weren't necessarily the clearest way of showing "snippets of who [you] are". Maybe including some scenes of you all in your daily lives? Overall though, I thought the project well composed. It's a strong start!
I think the album cover is very interesting and matches your goal of showing a mixture of the 3 songs. I like how the video shows the similarities of your love for art, such as dancing, image editing, music making, etc. I do think that the weight of each person is somewhat unbalanced; most of the attention is given to the guy dancing, and it is hard to notice passions of other guys.

It seemed to me that the balance of incorporating the three group members was a little uneven, and only really focused on the dancing than what the other two were doing. That said I appreciated the inclusion of the music and album cover files being edited, as it brought together your passions and the end result.
It's clear watching the video that Brian Lai is really comfortable being on camera and performing, which was fun to watch. I'm glad you each chose a song for the video and that you showed the tools you each were using on the computer to realize this project. I wish that the video showed more of you all interacting with each other. Watching this, we can see what each of you is good at and what you contributed to the final product, but we don't get much of a sense of your dynamic as a group.
