All Done

I have finished everything and I am SO proud. I'm so glad I've been able to finish and I've learned so much throughout the course of the project and to be honest, I'm kind of impressed. I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about this for my transplant tomorrow and I can just focus on getting better. Well, it's been a hell of a ride, thanks for listening:).

So Close to the Finish Line!!

I'M ALMOST DONE! This whole thing is due on Monday and I'm almost DONE!! Just need to make a few finishing touches and complete my CCR!! Ok, I'll get back to work so I can finish everything done on time!(P.S. I wrote this a week ago but I forgot to publish it :'( )

Zoe Saved Me

ZOE HELPED ME FIND THE SAVED WORK ON PREMIERE!!!!! I owe her. I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it after talking to her for 3 minutes she told me to look in a specific folder and there it was. When I'm done with this project I have to get her a present  or something. She's helped me so much. THIS IS AMAZING!! I WON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN.

VIdeo

You know how before I said that Premiere Pro hates me? You probably thought I was being dramatic. Well my entire music video has just been deleted. Yep. Hours of work has just gone down the drain. I was more than halfway done with the video. I honestly thought I would be able to finish it today. But no. Premiere has other plans for me. Which would be fine, if it didn't cause me to lose hours of work.

So I went to Anish's house to finish filming the last few shots I need for the revised party scene and I think it went really well. I got a bunch of cool shots and I think that's all I need to finish the video.

The Setup:
1 Everything was pushed to one side to give us room to film. 2 Lights shining on the wall

3 Smoke detector covered

He set up the room with lights so we could get a silhouette of him while he was singing the song. We wanted to show the light as seen in the video(Anish's idea) but I couldn't find my smoke machine so Anish improvised and tried to do it with matches. It kind of worked but not enough to get cool shots of him with the lights.
Here are some of the pictures I took that I really liked and I think I'll use it in the website and maybe digipak:

Website

I just published my website! It's far from done but at least now I've sort of committed to a design. I linked it to this post so it'll be easy to find.

Digipak

I'm almost done with my Digipak!!! I only need one more big image but I already have the design in motion.
 4
I labeled each image with where they will be placed. To see where each number is placed you can see what I uploaded to posts ago. This has really made me feel better about my work and the stuff I've done up to this point. I've been using nature shots mostly because of the color scheme but also because I want to keep his image as natural and comfortable as possible.

Filming Issues Again

    I was supposed to film the party scene yesterday but Anish was supposed to get people to go and he wasn't able to get anyone. What I'll do instead then is just get shots of them with low-key lighting to create the same vibe that the party scene would have had.

    I have a smoke machine that I'll use to represent the night life that will also be conveyed through the use of laser lights.
    Honestly, I'm like super stressed out about this project and I just feel really lost about the whole thing. *insert violin music here* I kind of feel cheated of the opportunity the rest of the class has to get their project reviewed by peers so early on in the process. I mean, I know it's because of the transplant that I'm about to have, but it still kind of sucks that I had to work on this project while still doing other projects for the same class.l Oh well, pity party over.

At the moment I have:

  • Part of the video edited
  • Most of the website done
  • The Digipak planned
What I need to do is:
  • Finish video
    • Film the party scene
    • Finish editing
  • Design the Digipak
    • CD
    • Cover
    • Little pictures with the credits
    • Back with a list of the songs
  • Finish the website
    • upload the music files
  • Film CCR
I think this is doable

DigiPak Planing

I started planning the DigiPak. I want to make it different and kind of interactive. I want it to seem personal and truly reflect his heritage and his music.
To explain the image, the numbers mean each separate picture. The whole Digipak will be folded to hold the CD and the booklet that has the images of Anish to make the whole thing more personal.
