My Belated Final Post

     So... The Google Project. It was fun. Lots of fun. I can't say I really learned much from it, but I did have a pretty awesome time working on it. Walking down the halls in crazy uniforms and getting all the weirdest looks was fun, and especially when Mr. Plato came out to see what we were doing a couple times, but I'd have to say the best part was when we all got dressed up as a wizard(blake), a creeper(tony) and Lady Canadia(me) and walked from Blake's house down to the public library. People were crossing the streets to get away from us. Its just too bad that we didn't get to do the two videos we had planned on doing, though, because a lot of the best stuff we had filmed was all worked out for Fantastic Baby. We all had a great time, though, and from what we've heard, everybody else had a fun time watching the end product too. So, This is goodbye for now to the Google Project.

Yep.  We finished.  It was fun.  If you can't tell by now, I'm not very descriptive. Yeah.

What I have learned...

Blake-
This whole project has been a blast to work on, from creation to acting/ filming to editing. (scratch that, editing is awful) Throughout this process, I learned a lot about filmaking, specifically about making music videos. you have to sync up the actor's mouths and actions to the music, and if you havent filmed in time with the music then you are somewhat screwed (like us). Overall though, I just had a great time goofing off with Darden and Tony and making such a well recieved video.

FINAL PRODUCT

So, we suffered some setbacks through this whole process, and we had to cut production on fantastic baby, but we finally finished last farewell, and boy is it great.

Google Day

So. It looks like we got all of the footage for our second song today, and we're nearly done shooting for the first song. The end is in sight... for tony and I, at least. Gosh, I feel bad that Blake has to do all of the editing, but he says he knows how. Today was actually pretty fun, it was just all of us creeping on Isabel in front of a video recorder. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all ends up.

ALMOST DONE!!

Blake-

So today we filmed. A lot. We recruited the help of our dear friend Daniel Trang (not in band, but was there anyway), and he filmed as much as he could. Unforunately, the batteries ran out almost immediately. Fortunately, I am a time-traveling Wizard, and was somehow able to magic the batteries back to life. They then lasted all class. Overall it was a pretty sucessful filming day. We got the entirety of "Last Farewell" done, and we only have about three shots to go for fantastic baby. Now starts the grueling process of editing. great.,......
ANYWAY, HERES SOME RANDOM FOOTAGE:
HARDCORE PARKOUR!

Today's shots were fun.

So, Today we shot a few scenes outside. It was cold. Very cold. But that was Ok, because we're ll too insane to care. Anyway, we shot the beginning to About Love, and it was fun. The'res an instrumental section with just classical music playing and a guy riding his bicycle up to a school. We used my bike for that, and I nearly broke it few times, but I do that a lot. So. I hope it all looks good, but even if this whole video project thing turns out terrible, It would all be worth it for getting to dress up in weird costumes and walk around school in them for a period every other week.
