I dislike turkey

So I haven't been keeping up with this blog for a few days. WOOPS

I shot some video concerning fire, but I didn't get any about water. Damn. I think I'll be reconsidering what I want to do for my last project. I'm using the fire somehow.

Could I possibly use pre-existing photographs and pictures in my video, or does it all have to be original?

Just wondering.

I'm getting tired of sandwiches for lunch

I forgot if I posted this already, but here's the music that I'll be making into loops for my final project.

I usually don't like using people for anything that I do, but I'm thinking about bringing in the human element with my Fire and Water shots. In the beginning of the video, I'll be shooting a person smoking. I'm not going to focus on him/her, but the smoke. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I'll end the video with steam: smoke's foil.

Library

So I have some pretty good ideas for my video, and all of them need to be shot outside. And near water. In a place that I won't get in trouble for setting things on fire.

.....I need to bring a video camera with me over Thanksgving break then.I hope the library won't have a problem with this. And if they do, well that's just too bad.


FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D

Rough Cut of Music for Last Video

Mmm, warmth.

I have to do this somehow in my video. I don't know how I can incorporate it, but I will.

Plus I like fire.

I miss hot weather

Here's the type of music that I like, it's like experimental hip-hop:

I've been looking for some good 'inspirational' videos on youtube. Here's what I've found:

"Flying on One Engine"

This was one of the best films I have seen here at Millsaps since I've been here. That's about 3 semesters. 'Amazing' seems to be too pale of a word for the documentary; it showed the good, the bad, and the indifferent. Thank you. Thank you for showing this, Millsaps.



I'm usually disappointed when it comes to the Southern Circuit Film series, mostly because the majority of the videos that I have been able to see desperately lacked culture. They are not bad, I'll never say that. I've just felt let-down. Punk rock? No thank you.



I prefere reality, the 'now', and NOT JUST WESTERN THOUGHT. This film got all three.

Easy Mac Triple Cheese is the S***

So I STILL haven't decided what exactly I'm going to shoot for the video part of the project.

BUT.... I'm thinking an ABSTRACT MUSIC VIDEO FTW. Yessssss. Sounds good.

....when are the rough cuts due again?

Sirens are Annoying

So I still haven't figured out what I want to film, but I'm thinking about taking a video camera down to Biloxi over Thanksgiving break. Can I do that? Or would the library have a spazz attack...

Also, Is there a way to have the video camera take shots every 3 or so seconds, or will I have to munually do it? That would become really irritating really fast.


Der de der. That's all for now.

Last Project Thoughts

So I think I found some really good base songs for the music part of my lasty video. It's "Love Theme" from the Godfather. Yeah. I went there. I think I could make it work really well with hip-hop beats and synths.

I'm not quite sure what I want to do with the video images. I will most likely make an abstract music video----somehow. Not sure how, but I'll crank it out.

"Can't Happen By Accident"

DONE!

So Jade was an angel yesterday and came to my rescue lat night. She figured out how to fix what I was doing somehow. It was still acting up but we exported it in a way that it didn't matter. YES.




Thank you Jade.

UGH

Final Cut Pro is being a bitch.

>:O

Searching

I still need to find a religion major/minor or a religious person. No one has come out of the wood work yet.

Also a philosophy major/minor would be interesting to interview as well.

Or really any one who is opinionated.

Rough Cut

So I have some video shots and all, but they aren't uploaded. If you want to get an idea of what I'm going to do just watch the first 5 minutes of the YouTube video I posted on the blog yesterday.


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'll hopefully have more than two interviews for the video, but no promises.

Social/Political Commentary FINAL IDEA

So I think I finally figured out what I'm going to do for the video. Instead of evolution, I'll be using the topic of stem cell research. The ban on it was lifted by President Obama, and I will be using this PR as a jumping board.

I want to get the opinion of a pre-med student and a non pre-med student. I am interested to see if their religious beliefs will color their answers. Or even if their plans for the future will make a difference in their "interview."
