I guess that was not all for today

So right after I finished typing the last post, I asked Anish if he was free tomorrow for a photo shoot and as I asked him, I dropped milk on my laptop. Good news though, Anish is free!! So I asked him some questions and he gave me some good info. 

I think I know the direction I'm gonna go in with this shoot. It'll be outside before sunset and he should wear blueish colors. I know a place that is secluded and would be perfect because it is the only place that has actual trees as opposed to everywhere else in Weston. I've taken pictures there before and I have an example:

I'm much calmer now so this is (actually) all for today. :)

First Day of my Project

Today is my official start date!! This is what I have:

• A musician
• A song
• A website(started)

This is what I don't have:

• An idea for a music video
• Any idea how I'm going to take good portraits of someone I barely know
• A clue to the third aspect of this project(gotta ask stoklosa tomorrow)

I wish art was easy. I mean, I have to think of the outfit, and the lighting, and location, and composition, and angles, and how it'll work with his overall aesthetic. And that's just for the photos. I also need to get an idea for what to do for the music video and also start story boarding. I'm so stressed out that I just misspelled "start" six times, there aren't even six letters in the word! It also doesn't help that on top of this, I have to do my marketing project with Daniel and Dakota. But, I'm gonna be positive and believe I can do this. I just have to work hard and PLAN. That's it for today, I'm gonna look for questions to ask Anish that will unfold the inner workings of his mind so I can take pictures that truly represent him tomorrow.

I found someone willing to help me!!!

I finally found an Artist willing to help me with the project!! Don't get me wrong, I didn't wait to the last minute to find a musician/band for my video, it's just that the person I had lined up backed out at the last minute. Anyway, Anish has agreed to help me with my project as a solo artist. Now I have to start researching his genre(hip hop and rap) and plan the music video. I really want to do a good job with this project so I'm really glad that I'm ahead schedule.
You can listen to the song Anish wrote that I'm making the video for here. Since Anish's genre is hip hop and rap, I will not be drawing inspiration from the song in my last post but I'm really exited to find other videos to be inspired by.

I mentioned in my last post that I had to find out when I have to start my project. Because the Acanthamoeba Keratitis parasite sucks, I'm starting my project 1/22/18 and ending 3/19/18. I made a google calendar with my goals for this project that you can access through the link.

Pre-Research Research

I haven't officially started my music video or the research for it but this whole thing has been hanging over my head for a while so I decided I'd start little by little. I want to make a calendar so I can have deadlines for everything to make sure I have everything done with some time to spare to fix up any rough edges. I have to find out when I'm supposed to start my project so I know what time frame I'm working with.

I remembered a music video that I saw a really long time ago for a song by Regina Spektor. I really like the effect the cloth has at 1:50. I like the color and video effects that follow.

I'm just gonna leave this here so I can look back when I forget this video even exists.
