I chose this image specifically because I'm pretty fond of both Jeff Beck's and Tal Wilkenfeld's musical works. This image specifically just looked really cool to me, as I find guitars really cool and want to learn how to use one. Seeing them side by side with a bunch of equipment in the background is also a pretty cool visual to me in general.

I chose this GIF because I thought it was insanely cool looking. It resembles something I would have probably seen in some 90s computer game; it reminds me a lot of early cgi animation. It also creates a trippy visual that I'm fond of.

The song that I featured in this section is titled Quartz Quadrant. It's from a video game called Sonic CD. I chose this song in particular because I used to really love this game when I was younger, as I played it on the Nintendo Wii by making use of the console's backwards compatibility to play Sonic Gems Collection. Fun fact about this song: It's actually the Japanese/European version of this song. The soundtrack was mostly completely replaced in the United States. Both soundtracks are pretty amazing, in my opinion.
Using Spotify as a source, the song was written by Naofumi Hataya. The song was released, alongside the original game, on September 23, 1993. It was uploaded to Spotify in 2011. There are no licenses I can find for this song, so I'm goin' to share as much information I can find find for this song as I can.

I chose this video to represent the MP4 section because I find CalebCity's stuff funny. I just found the video humorous.
There are no licenses associated with the video that I could find, so the best I can do is give as much credit and information on the original video as I could possibly give. This video was taken from CalebCity from YouTube, which was uploaded on December 3rd, 2023. The video has about 220K likes and around 1.4 million views at the time of me writing this.

I learned a fair bit from this project, aside from exploring and revisiting some media I found cool. I feel like a learned a lot more about Creative Commons than ever, and the several different licenses that are under it. I sorta got a vague idea on what to do if I somehow find myself wanting to use media on the internet that isn't created by me. I should evaluate if it's licensed in any way, or if I'm even allowed to use the piece of media, contact the author if I can for permission, and credit the original source if I use that particular piece of media.
