1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQUGc0chLK0 [1:00 - 2:08] This video was in a collaboration of other "Award Winning" videos so I don't know the person who made this video. But their technique would be a more along the lines of glitch and sound. What interested me the most about this video, is that its almost hypnotizing, in how he's saying and showing the numbers, over and over again in a rhyme. Because with out the sound of the man counting down the numbers, it wouldn't have looked right what so ever.

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XExKrOkfp0g TwistedProductionzCM Video Art installation Space I chose this video because of how all the movement and motions and rhythms with the music connected all togeather creating a very unique and hypnotizing video. This video used a lot of lines, shapes, colors, forms, rhythm, movement, variety, and lights. This connects to my life because one of the things I find most interesting is astronomy. With out the music, it would just be a very long video of space. Nothing very interesting and would get boring.

3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PMYLkyMJiE&list=PL81943F2541159E03&index=3 Cocoon of Lies - Tamra Levinson I picked this video because even though its very dark, it was still something that bought my attention enough to stop me from turning to a new video. Wheat was interesting to me about it, was how they were able to do so many different things to the video. It has a logo of different moment and a variety of different things go in with how someone would hit the main character. This didn't really connect to my life, but it is something that does almost seem to define Experimental videos. This isn't something you would see on TV.

4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3EKu4Tj6Fg Sterling Silver - JB Guhman Jr Thought this video is short, it had a lot of things going on and a lot of things that you would have to watch very close for other wise you might miss something Thats might be what I liked the most about this video is that it is so short but at the same time it is able to be just as good as some of the other videos i posed. Their was a lot of different movements, textures, lights, shadows, movement, and rhythm, going on. Again this was a video that if they didn't put sound with it, it would be a very boring video that a lot of people might not wanna sit through. Even though they could have made the music a bit up beating with the video so it would synch, it still went well togeather.

5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QWj_iRYAfY Video Arte This is a video that is more along the lines as twisted, but it is also something that is able to catch your attention very easily because you want to know what these individuals are doing or what their going to do. Something I liked the most about this video is that their able to make almost no point to the video, but at the same time keep you interested in something that when watching you really don't need to know the point of. (And they used AHS themes) This video also had a lot of colors, textures, forms movement, variety, lights, shadows all seemly working together. This connect to me because this is a video that I would like to maker. The music that is playing help to build the suspense of the video and bring ion the creepiness that it really is.

6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU1zhDnkhEA Trapped - Hafiz Razak I like this video because it seems to have a lot of meaning in a lot of different ways. even thought its something very simple, you can almost find a lot of ways to connect with this video. A lot of things were going on in this video, like movement, space, texture, color,emphasis, variety, light. all bringing this 1 minute video together. This would kind of connect to me because I could say sometimes i felt trapped. NA dwith this music you get that same feeling that the fish has
