A Supernova’s Musician

While he pushed the door, all the people looked at him. Perhaps, this is a musician’s unique temperament. His clothes are like the ordinary students. He was wearing a suit with a white T-shirt. He always smiles. When he came to say hello to others, you can see that he is a sweet and polite person. However, when he was talking about the music, he became excited, had a lot of postures and spoke very fast.

His name is Justin Hardin, 17-year-old. He started to do the music around 2006 when he was 10 years old. “Lots of artists I heard I want recreate that music on my own,” he said. When he was learning, you could see his musical talent. He studied piano by ear, not like other people to watch notes. He can listen to a song and accurately play it out with piano.

“I don't put boundaries on myself with genres,” Justin said with used finger counting, “I try to just take a lot of influence from jazz, hip-hop, classical, and electronic to just combine it all into one, like a big mush of sound.” So it does, his music will always bring a surprise. The listeners will be amazed to hear a song that combines lots of different musical elements. “My music is the Picasso of music,” he smiled and said. This is the most appropriate description for his music. It is difficult to describe his music and what messages he wants to express because his music is abstract, maybe it is tone of the future music. His music has a magic power. You will hear the beginning and the end are totally different style in one song. At the same time, you will highly praise for his creative music.

“I feel very alone, because my and my friends make this type of music, but people around us don’t listen to this type of music,” Justin said with his eyes downcast. Sometimes, he puts his music to the internet. It is a good place that he can get some good comments. “It makes you feel good when somebody likes what you making,” he said. It also gives him more confidence to do this type of music even though not lots of people know what it is now.

“I read a quote that ‘art is never finished, it's only abandoned’,” he was serious and said. He was willing to listen to other people’s feedback, but fixed the music it depends on finished or not. “If I’m in the process of still making the song, I probably change a couple of stuffs if I trust their opinion. But I’m if I done all the song, I’ll just try it see if I would do what they're trying to say to another song, because I try not to spend too much time on one song. Sometimes I have to let it go.”

Now, Justin also tries to make the videos. “When I was watching movies listen to the sound, it is crazy because I love how they have visuals with music, it is complete when you do that, like it is art,” he said quickly with big smile. It is hard to imagine that add his music to the video, but he tries it. He made a video that use visuals to act out what he was playing with beats at same time. It looks simple, but it is wonderful because it is match every beats exactly. It gives viewers double the enjoyment of vision and hearing.

“If it goes the way I plan, It’d be the really cool to travel: a lot of music like play different shows, like kinds of doing DJ work, that’s what I’m think doing.”

Titles of the movies

Adventure Time

I guess the cartoon is about a adventure trip with Finn and Jake. In this cartoon, we might be seen the funny things when they are travelling.

Run Lola Run

I think the title of Run Lola Run is good. I like the sound of the beginning on this title.  The sound is tick of the clock. When we see the movie, all the story is around the time. However, I don't like the animation that a girl is running, even though it is close to the content. Because I think the animation makes the tone of the movie changed. If it should have changed this part to shot real life, it would be better. I think it is a worth movie to watch.

Beginning

1. “My music is the Picasso’s music” Who said by a 17-year-old teenage.

2.  He quietly sitting there and listening the music for his phone. He looks sweet, but his music is very different to his appearance.

3. When you talk to him, you will find that he is a passionate people like his music.

Critiques

Best Funny Video Ever

I thought the music in this video was good. However, the end of this video was finished much too soon. If the editor hold the end frame some seconds, then faded out, we should be able to understand this video's end clearly. But I like the story, it is funny.

StructuredWeb

I liked use the animation to do this advertisement. However, the sound in this advertisement just the voice over and music. If the editor can add some other sound, it will be better. For example, the conversation about the man and woman may be put some voice over replace use the outlines. But the voice over is very clearly.

Apple - iPod - TV Ad - Bounce

I like use the beat to cut every shot and the quickly cut can stand out this product's character. But I cannot find other information in this video. If the editor need add some words in this video, we will be able to get more information. I like the beginning and end.
