#screwedupwithshaun
Born in raised in Houston, Texas some may know it as “H-town”, innately I grew up listening to chopped and screwed music which is a technique created by the late DJ Screw which,“is a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the early 1990s. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo down … and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and affecting portions of the music to make a “chopped-up”, version of the original.” (Wikipedia, 2019)
With the influence of chopped & screwed music engrained within my veins, I wanted to take a dive into developing my video editing skills so I decided one day to start incorporating both c&s music and conceptualized video editing. This allowed me to do more video editing personal projects as well as showcase this style of music to the world.
Entitled, “#screwedupsaturdaysorsundaywithshaun”, for long because I couldn’t settle on what day I wanted to release the videos. For short I refer to it is, “SUSWS.” This project consists of 30 second to 1 minute long mini video compilations composed of both chopped and screwed music and documented video studies that i’ve done randomly.
