As I worked with the media I noticed there were natural transition points that I could use instead. \u00a0That made it an even more powerful illustration because there was a continuos visual flow.<\/p>\n<p>Having Brian&#8217;s original music, <a href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/Ben_Seretan\/\"><em>My One True Love<\/em> by Ben Saretan<\/a> remaining at the beginning, middle, and end of the video was important to me. As with many of my projects, I continue to be amazed at how things can miraculously fall into place. \u00a0And that was certainly the case here as I noticed and worked with the natural transitions. Brian&#8217;s music remained in the locations I had intended and the music selections on either side &#8220;made sense&#8221;. \u00a0There is a nice flow both from a visual and auditory perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Did you experience the video segments differently as I had intended? What emotions did they bring up? Which music selection(s) did you enjoy more? [Start time links provided below.] Did you feel that one song was more suited to Brian&#8217;s video throughout? Why? I&#8217;d be very interested to hear your reactions and comments to the piece.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">All music licensed under Creative Commons from <a href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/\">freemusicarchive.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/W3p1DptpQAg\">0:00<\/a>] \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/Ben_Seretan\/Live_On_WFMUs_Airborne_Event_with_Dan_Bodah_-_June_24_2013\/Seretan_Ben_-_04_-_My_One_True_Love\">My One True Love<\/a>\u00a0by Ben Sereten\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.benseretan.com\/\">http:\/\/www.benseretan.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>[<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/W3p1DptpQAg?t=22s\">0:22<\/a>]\u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\" href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/Ergo_Phizmiz\/Idiot\/08_Doll-War\">Doll War<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">\u00a0 by Ergo Phizmiz\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ergophizmiz.net\/\">http:\/\/www.ergophizmiz.net<\/a><\/li>\n<li>[<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/W3p1DptpQAg?t=33s\">0:33<\/a>] \u00a0<a style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\" href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/johnny_ripper\/outsider\/02_calvin__hobbes\">Calvin &amp; Hobbes<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\"> by Johhny Ripper\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\" href=\"http:\/\/johnnyripper.bandcamp.com\/\">http:\/\/johnnyripper.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>[<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/W3p1DptpQAg?t=33s\">0:43<\/a>] \u00a0<a style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\" href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/BoxCat_Games\/Nameless_the_Hackers_RPG_Soundtrack\/BoxCat_Games_-_Nameless-_the_Hackers_RPG_Soundtrack_-_08_CPU_Talk\">CPU Talk<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\"> by BoxCat Games\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/box-cat.com\/\">http:\/\/box-cat.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>[<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/W3p1DptpQAg?t=57s\">0:57<\/a>] \u00a0<a style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\" href=\"http:\/\/freemusicarchive.org\/music\/Slinte\/Cup_of_Tea\/slainte_-_11_-_the_crosses_of_annagh_the_humors_of_tulla_the_cup_of_tea\">The Crosses of Annagh.
