SRC: Man Hail Yeah!


Described as the hard hitting but also smooth SoReal Cru is one of the most innovative crews with a style on their own. As the only crew from the South to make top 2 on ABDC their time after show proved to push them even further with more hard hitting routines and a growing fan base. This compilation is a tribute to their movement and exciting performances they continue to bring.

ABDC5 – Ep 1 The Nationals

The first casualty on Season 5

Really good episode all the crews were pretty much solid even those who had weaker performances during the regionals, it was only "slight" differences that made one crew better than the other. My top 3 performances would be Poreotix who were still the cleanest crews (esp. with isos), Jungle Boogie who brought a lot of hype energy/excitement, and Blueprint Cru who continue to bring tight performances and solid choreo. My guess for the bottom next week is Royal Flush and Static Noyze. But still its pretty much anyone's game now with the votes included.

Such a GOOD critique for all crews better than the Judges this week

Proj 1 – Creating a New way of Looking Online

These were recently two web pages (and the reason why i haven't got sleep for the past two Thursdays) in my interactivity class working with coding as in HTML and CSS. My subject matter for this project is lights and my task here was to one creative and one conventional interface.

With this first part of the project I was experimenting and integrating an image to focus the idea of ambiance (the lighting in a room).




The second interface focused on a more conventional way of interaction online by scrolling and finding each picture on the same page.
