I've finished all my videos plus more! I don't know what to do with my film career now, as I feel all thought out and tired. I have a video project that's due Friday so I'll most likely end up doing that. Here's the prompt for that.



I've finished Almost There. It was a long process and I've learned so much from it. I believe that it will help me in the future with connections as people see how talented I am and will help the bands get bigger and more prominent in the Kansas City area and more. My portfolio is also updated! So yeah. Check everything out.

Almost There II

For this short music video, we had to incorporate the season of winter and a group within the school. The group that agreed to let us work with them was Astronomy Club. The song we went with wasn't a traditional season song, but does deal with the weather. We filmed with the club in one hour, dealing with not as big of a turn out as we hoped, knowing there was at least thirty members. Only six showed up, and the room was previously occupied with others in that class. Other than being talkative and perky, the group was cooperative and helped make this amazing music video.  The plot was the group comes to their meeting, ready to learn and talk about the universe when a star falls. One of the members wanders off and finds it. He brings it back the group and they must figure out a way to put it back where it belongs.
But arguments ensue and derails the group from doing what they must. Another member comes in and brings their attention back to the star and with teamwork, the group puts the star in the sky. 
Join ONW's Astronomy Club because they put stars in the sky.

Montage is a editing device to either condense time or expand time.
In this montage, a man and a woman dance the night away, but due to unknown reasons, the woman leave the man confused and sad. A mysterious stranger emerges and causes havoc for the lovers and thus ends in the death of both men.

Beauty is a controversial subject. It is up to the individual what they believe beauty is. In this modern day society, however, we believe that certain people and features are the epitome of what that complicated word is. This places young people, trying to figure themselves out, in a situation they shouldn't have to face. The youth believe they are not worth being called beautiful because they don't fit in a certain size, their hair texture isn't straight and voluminous, layered. Their faces are clear of imperfections, even if they do tell themselves that the pictures are 'fixed' in photoshop. The damage is already done. 



With all this in mind, I set out to the internet to find a poem that spoke of beauty. I didn't want choose a poem about how the standards of beauty are a bit messed up. I wanted to find a poem that was feel good about who you are even if it isn't perfect. I found the website hitrecord, and found the gem that I made this spoken word to. In this poem read by Jaquita Jackson (my mom) called .i.am...you.are. The poem encompasses everything that I was looking for and the video visually shows that beauty is everywhere.
