Skrillex



The one-person band, Skrillex, makes dubstep/EDM types of music. Sonny John Moore, aka Skrillex, is an American record producer, DJ, singer, songwriter and musician. The use of instruments such as a synthesizer, drum machine and bass gives the music a techno kind of vibe; Skrillex usually does not put lyrics into his music but when he does it is usually very repetitive, for example, in the song First Of The Year, he repeats "Baby you've got a (ah) ni-ni-nightmare. Baby you've got a nightmare (oh babe). Baby you've got, a nightmare!" In addition, in the song Bangarang, he repeats, "Shout to all my lost boys, sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shouts to all my lost boys we rowdy." While watching the music videos Skrillex provides a story for each one, even though theres no story told in the lyrics. Skrillex was one of the first popular dubstep bands and his music quickly became popular; in fact the song Rock N' Roll (Will Take You To The Mountain) was one of the songs featured on the popular game Just Dance 4, in 2016. In my opinion, I am not the biggest fan of Skrillex because the repetition in the songs gets pretty old sometimes, although there are a few songs of his that I really enjoy.

Stop Motion Animation

The stop motion video I made took a while to paint the background and cut out all the little sea animals, and I faced difficulty with keeping the background in place and trying to remember which direction each animal was swimming in. In general, I  had a lot of fun with this project! To me, the process of brainstorming ideas was the best part, along with seeing the whole video at the end after hours of working on it. The theme I chose, under the sea, was meaningful to me in the sense that I    am a lover of water and sea animals (on the contrary it was not meaningful in the sense that the shark was feeding, although it adds drama which is important to keep the viewers attention).

Collage

The title of this collage is "Mind, Body and Soul". Growing up, I have always relied on meditating and yoga as a stress reliever. Being able to balance your mind body and soul is essential in practices of meditation and yoga and I feel as though everyone should take at least 10 minutes per day to meditate.  Because of my views, I used a photo of my eye and placed on top of the head (mind),  on the body, and in the sky. Most of the time we associate your soul being connected with a religious being--whatever  that being might be is most likely in heaven and up above which is why I chose to place the eye in the sky. In addition, I used photos of my hands to represent the hands and feet of a man who is casually walking down the street. Of course since this isn't how a man looks, the sky is painted purple and white to represent a parallel universe.
