I saw you liked Balam Acab! Odds are if you dig that dude, you'll dig my tunes also. I just released an EP & It'd mean the world to me if you check it out on my blog! Thanks so much for reading.

The thing is my father is the minister of the town I live in and he has outlawed music and dance. Me being the rambunctious blonde that I am, I listen and dance in secrecy. Alas I have been caught! But! there’s a new guy in town named Ren who is trying to change all of this…Maybe he’ll open my fathers eyes…Until then I’m afraid I cannot listen to your music.

Summer is here!

Summer is here!

“Big Boy” by Balam Acab

//Update No. 5

Shooting all all of Sunday with Evan in yellow springs, going to hocking hills again as well and getting more footage and I’ve just continued to keep editing. The time left is starting to worry me but I’m trying my best to meet the deadline. 

Hark a concept appears.

//Update No. 4 - Video Progress

After much editing and frustration the current video file I have saved to my desktop is different than that of it’s current state on the Adobe application itself. Editing is very frustrating at this point, colors are not exactly “matching” nicely. Each time of day is beautiful in it’s own way but to intermingle is such a drastic change on the eyes (in my personal opinion). 

The opening scene although repetitive shall stay strictly [bathroom and waterfall]. The interchanging shots have been “secured” in the sense that they relate to the beats more affectively than the first time where the in-between shots occurred at random.  This weekend I’m going to Yellow Springs to shoot high noon and the late afternoon, mid sunset possibly for the ending.  I’ll also be taking my subject back to my friends bathroom and shooting him in the tub and seeing how that footage works out.  I’ve been getting lazy and shoot more rapidly rather than really evaluating my surroundings…It even shows in poor focusing which makes me wonder if was even paying attention to what I was shooting.

My vision isn’t matching completely with the current state of the project but I am proud of myself for learning FinalCut, frame rate, and working with video. It can only go up from here (hopefully, haha). I can pull up the video on my hard drive and show the class the video if you so please. i’m also brainstorming a title for this…Hopefully I’ll come up with an appropriate name.

Monday morning I shot Evan for another piece of the video. I messed around, trying see if his footage worked with the intro. It didn’t flow as the original one, so instead of re-doing the intro, I incorpated different stills into the “intro” as I planned in my last post.  The framing isn’t totally matching up with how I first intended (now going Medium, Small, Big).  Everything is flowing together wonderfully, the more and more I work on this video the more enthusiastic I become about this project.  I’m so grateful for how nicely this is all coming together. 

Side note, rendering is the spawn of all evil. Never again, next time I work with video I’ll take my shot at Premiere. 

//edit

lost all my work, had to restart. decided to reshoot some footage with evan when discussing the look and feel of it with two other people. decided that it needs to have more movement in the in-between shots.

dude its going to be so great. that hallway shot is literally perfect. keep chasing waterfalls bb
