Really?...Again?

This week I've been thinking about ideas for the video. I was coming up with some great stuff that went along great with the lyrics of the song. Gina hasn't been here all week...again... So I already expected her to not be here and I knew I would be doing this blog post by myself. But I mean it's all good though. So since she's not here that obviously means here we go another week without the music. But I have Gina's number so I'm going to try to remind her to try to have it done by next week. And then I guess we could start. I'm not going to lie I am kinda eager to start this but I'm kinda confused. I'm confused because I don't know if we're supposed to start making the video on our own time or if we can film on these Fridays we're in the library...I'd rather do it at school while we're having this library time. So maybe..and just maybe Gina will be here next Friday. HOPEFULLY!

Choo Choo!

So like Cyonna posted, I recorded myself while I was at my Dad's. It went pretty well.. but so many tries. I really didn't understand how much work it takes to record a song. The song I wrote "Someday" , I've played it so many times.. so you'd think that the recording would go smoothly the first time. Ha! I tried to record the song at least five times! the fourth time I was sooo close to actually finishing the song then I hear out side "chugga chugga click CHOO CHOO!"... really? Because of that mean train being on it's schedule and doing it's job, I had to do it ALL over again haha. I forgot to take a copy of the song home, but the plan is to copy it so I can take it home and start working on it, and the copy at my Dad's I will work on adding drum beats, keyboard,harmony and guitar (the rough recording is just my voice and the Ukulele). So, very excited! Cyonna and I are going to have to get together soon to work on ideas for the video. I can't wait! -Gina

Someday

Gina and I have finally figured some things out. We picked a song! The song is an original song that Gina wrote. It's called "Someday". I just heard the song today and I already love the song. We have already came up with so many good ideas for the video. I'm starting to get all excited and stuff about working on the video. But i just know...that there will be a hill somewhere and we're going to have to get over it somehow. But when the day comes we'll figure it out. This weekend Gina has to record her original and all that good stuff. And then I guess after that we'll be on our way to shooting a Stop Motion Video! O and btw...We have eachother's numbers now...Yay for communication!

Coffee Coffee Coffee...

So, I got what I deserve... Cyonna was going to Dinsey for a week. Oh boy the week of the presentation (September 27th, 2013)! We never seem to be together on the same Friday. While she was gone I had a lot of work to make up (because of being gone so long), I made up all the work.. Then Thursday night (Sept26th)I realized I still had to work on the presenation and I had to write on our blog.... Wait a second I have no way to communicate with Cyonna! haha we forgot to trade numbers yet again.. So I did my best at working on the presentaion myslef. It was rolling around 1:30AM when I had finished other work rom other classes.. Coffee, Coffee,Coffee.. wasn't until 2:00AM when I figured out how I was going to lay out our work.. Coffee,Coffee,Coffee... Around 3:30 I had all of the information we needed for the presentation printed out and edited. So, I had to grab some glue and start working on the big tri-fold. Thing is.. before I started working on printing the information I made the choice to spray paint the tri-fold with glitter, so when I tried gluing things... they wouldn't stick to the glitter.. UGH! Coffee, Coffee,Coffee. My grandma (who was sit aswell) stayed up to make sure I was okay, she told me she had some spray adhesive glue. So I grabbed it and sprayed away.. Got the poster finished around 4:00Am! YAHOO I was done! Ewh.. but wait.. I have some of that glue one my thumb... I tried getting it off.. when it was finally off I looked and I had a chemical burn on my thumb..yeah I the glue wasn't suppose to touch my skin..oops. Anyways, because I was so sleepy Grandma had me sleep for the first two hours of school.. I was late for class, but still got the presentation done! haha with very little sleep, I think I did pretty good. Still wasn't able to blog becuase I didn't have any info on it haha.. but I'm glad Cyonna and I are FINALLY here together on a Friday! :)

Where's Gina???

It seems like Gina and I have never been here on a Friday TOGETHER! We've never worked on this project with each other. Either she's gone or I'm gone. But i mean whatever...We still have a little progress. We're still working stuff out and getting the ideas together but it's still happening though. Ginnnaaaaa Whheeerrree arrreee Yoooouuuu???!!!??

The List

So to be honest I haven't really done much since last time. I've been busy this week but I still tried to help. Gina made a list of supplies and things that we'll need to complete this video. I read the list and told her I'll try to get some of those things...unless she already has them. We're going to need like a camera and a tripod and stuff like that. Oh and also: Stop motion software, A laptop, A USB chord, Instruments (needed for the song), Voices, Studio Software, Visits (I don't know what that is), and last but not least...PATIENCE. I have those things at my house. So I just told Gina if she wants me to bring them in I can. I also don't even think we've picked a setting for the music video. I have no clue when or where we're gonna do this. I guess we'll do some here after school and if we need to we can film some outside of school if we have to.
