ITS THE REMIX BABY!!!!

My remix video is showing the difference between classical music and hip-hop music along with showing the difference with classical dance and hip-hop dance. I used Camatasia to get the videos from youtube and from there I edited that way I like to show the difference in these two classical and street styles. I used music and dance because one i felt that these two complimented each other. You cant have one without the other. Also these ar two unique styles that make up who  I am as a person. I love the classical style of music and I love the street swagga of hip-hop music along with training in the classical form of dance while maintaining my hip-hop dance background.  You will be able to see all that in my remix video that you can see right here...ITS THE REMIX BABY!!!!

Framing

    Without noticing it we are invisibly framing the world. Digital bob gave an example of the irritated driver, who gets easily flustered by the people driving around him all nuts. After reading this I started thinking of many ways I have framed the world without even noticing I do it. Since reading about framing I've been trying to be more cautious of framing alot of things but the more im cautious about it the more I do it. Then i remember the person doing something to take care of their frustration towards their driving expirence and  I found my own way to relieve my frustration/ framing and that was to sing Janet Jackson songs to myself and that seem to help out alot. Music Tend to be my release for a lot of things.
My framing connection with others who dont speak the same language as me tends to build pretty quicky. I tend to wish that i can understand, because im always so intreged by others culture and different languages. I tend to put chinese people in a frame the most because their lanuage is the most unfamiliar to my ears, but at the same time so im so interested in it. Wade Davis refers to this unfortunate tradition in the Ancient Wisdom video when he notes the importance of ending the habit of seeing other cultures as "failed attempts to be like us."
