I went to Jimmy's house on Thursday afternoon and he helped me edit a video. It is about 30 seconds long and will go at the end of our video along with the credits. It is very strange and I am going to say this now, I was not on drugs on when I made this. It is a collection of weird video's that I found. It is supposed to be a shooting stars meme, but it ended up being a bunch of random things that will be in the background of the credits. The credits will probably be, This video was made by US. Very good credits I know. I am very proud of this video because I never believed that I could do something like this. It truly is an absolutely remarkable thing. I believe that we could film the sit com this weekend, so that will be fun. I think we will film on Saturday because Sunday is mom day. This will be a very good video and this will be a great project.

We are nearing the end of genius hour and we need to get stuff done. We still haven't filmed the sit com and I need to edit that video if we even are going to do that. If not then I think the sit com and the arrangement will be enough. Jimmy has almost gotten the arrangement done but he still needs to do the bass line. He finished the top and the piano line but then realized that the piano line is horribly out of tune with the top line so we just cut out the piano line because we do not have time to rerecord it. I am pretty sure Isaiah is done with writing the sit com, that will be pretty fun to act out and film. I will try to film a lot of that so that I can get better. We have figured out what I am going to edit, it is a good video that I actually filmed myself in Gatlinburg during the eighth grade band trip. It is about seven seconds of Caleb Livengood being and idiot, so needless to say this will be fun to edit.
We still have not filmed but we are planning to do it sometime in the near future. It was hard to do it this weekend because of art smart and because Jimmy was throwing up all morning. Isiah and I could have filmed something but it would have been extremely hard to film with only two people. We are still going to film the Lemon thing and still are going to do the editing video. The only thing we need to do now is to actually film the video. I do not think filming will be the hard part but editing will be. I am hoping the video will be around ten or so minutes. If we can make a really good ten minute video that is a successful project for me. I am not very good at things like this so if I can edit a comprehensible video and film one then I will be happy with that outcome. I am hoping all of this goes smoothly and that we make a great video that everyone is able to enjoy this video and learn something from it.
We are currently working on a sit-com about lemons and it will be fantastic. We are still taking ideas on the Votes and Ideas page so you should give us some ideas. Please we need them. Something we have come across is that we do not have a lot of ideas to make videos about. We have made ideas, we are going to make a video about editing and then show you the final product. This has been a hard project because of all the other things we all have going on that prevent us from filming. We do not have very many days that line up and let us get together and record. Jimmy is still working on the music but is very close to being done. Isaiah is working on the sit-com and is almost finished with that and that will be amazing. I am going to attempt to edit a short video and I have no idea how it will go.
Jimmy and I have finally filmed the portion we needed for the music thing on Monday. It did not take very long to film but it was worth it. Jimmy started to edit this earlier in the week and he is doing very good with it. There is something that Jimmy came across while he was editing, he found that we are extremely out of tune on some parts of the video. I am pretty sure he fixed that in editing but I am not positive. Isaiah decided to not do the music piece and instead we are going to write a sitcom and film it. This will be a lot better than the Oedipus one because we have a lot more freedom with it. I think this will be a very good video. Our new plan for genius hour is that we are going to film a video of Isaiah and Jimmy editing the sitcom. Then we will film a video of me editing it by using the instructions they gave me in the video. I think this will either go very well or I will do very bad and it will be funny. Either way it is a win win.
So we had to rerecord the notes for the music we are editing. We went to a practice room after school and before jazz band. Jimmy recorded me playing from a low A to a high F. Then I recorded Jimmy playing some notes that I can not remember. Then we went to jazz band and did improv. Then on Saturday Jimmy texted me and said he needed to rerecord the rerecord of his part. We are going to re-re-record the music after school on Monday but before jazz band. We only have to redo Jimmy's part, my part recorded fine. Isaiah has been working on his own piece to edit to make a song. I have told him that if he needs anything at all that I can help him. I have my own trumpet so I could play. I can film him playing as well. I believe Isaiah is doing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen but I could be wrong. I am not very good at trumpet so I would need to play an easy part but I am fine with that. I think we are still going to do the thing were we all edit the same video but in different ways. We need to film more of us editing so we can show that we actually edited it. We might go over to someone's house, most likely Jimmy because he has a good computer, and film the editing process. I think that the project is going to a music genre more than skits now and that is totally fine. We all love music and I think this will be really good.
This week was spring break and we got a lot done for the project. It didn't seem like a lot at first but it actually turned out to be a good amount. I went over to Jimmy's house and filmed some game play. We filmed a training montage type thing. We filmed me before getting decent at smash, then after when I was somewhat decent. Then we filmed playing a chromatic scale and we are going to use that to make a song. I played every not I could play that day, then we will use the audio to make a song in the editing program. I don't know what song we will do yet but it will be very good. After that Jimmy showed me around the editing software he uses ( sony vegas pro). We filmed a short clip to edit that we will all edit different, he showed me how to put the clip in the program. We tried to actually edit but the program would not work and we couldn't figure out how to fix it. Don't worry he fixed it later but I had to leave before I could edit but I have learned at least the first steps. It doesn't look that hard.
We have started to work on making ideas for skits to film. We have a google doc where we are keeping the ideas and are getting some pretty awesome ideas from brainstorming. I think that we got kinda busy with MPA and other projects but we are now focusing on getting genius hour stuff done. We are going to try to get back on top of genius hour. We are thinking of filming a band arrangement of a song and are going to edit it to make it into one big song. We would have to film in one of the practice rooms or at someones house. When we edit we would put each part in the video where it can be seen like the squares if you know what I am talking about. We might film some movie scenes but give our stupid twist to them. We can film the movie scenes but if a certain scenario happened. The movie scenes would be very top tier. One of hardest parts of this project is staying focused on getting some things filmed. It has been very hard managing time between other projects in this class and others as well as practicing my instrument.
This week has been pretty boring in terms of genius hour. I feel as though all three of us we extremely tired and we slacked a little this week. We "presented" the modern Oedipus and by that I mean we showed it in class. We still have been brainstorming some ideas of things to film. We are trying to figure out a good day to go over to someones house and work on filming some more skits. Next week I think wee are going to film at least one or two skits. So stay posted to see what we are going to film.
We have been going over to Jimbo's to film the Oedipus Rex modernization for a couple days. When we were filming I have had a couple roles in the modernization. I have been filming some more, I have gotten a lot better at filming. Before this week I was really shaky filming but I have gotten better on focusing on the main thing happening in the scene. I have also been getting better at acting in the scenes, even though we joke around a lot when we film we can be very productive if we focus. We have also been brainstorming some other skits that we can do and have filmed one other skit for our project.
