I remembered this video from a couple years back, in fact it was originally posted to Google Video and made it to #1; all before Youtube had been launched in early 2005. I have always been interested in videos that redo older things like Super Mario Brothers in a different way. This concept has been emulated and applied in various ways since.


Hannah Schulman- Keyboard Cat


this has inspired many responses, where they use clips of movies or tv followed by keyboard cat playing them off

Bianca DiMaio - Viral Video

This video has been around for a while. I thought this would be a good idea to make a video response to because there are many different takes you can have on it. This is "The Evolution of Dance" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg I think it would be cool to make our own "Evolution of...." videos.

Rhythm

During the first lecture when we got to the section labeled "Rhythm," I was captivated by the image of multiple rows of cars. I kept wondering what was so captivating about this image and other images like it that I found. The rhythm found within these images is visually stimulating and very pleasing to the eye, but why? In the slide with the cars it says that, "Balance and rhythm work together to create designs that are vital, achieving both stability and surprise." So maybe the stability is the key, but I needed more explanation so I searched the
internet. Webdesignfromscratch.com has an article about the concept of rhythm from a web organization standpoint. They explain that “once you’ve decoded even one or two examples [of headline styles], your brain creates a rule or pattern on the fly you then use that rule to recognize and interpret subsequent example of the header.” Our brains like patterns that repeat because they allow it to easily decipher the meaning of images and information, making it pleasant to look at.
