Our first real gig as a group is next Sunday. Can't wait! Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully after this the shows will keep coming, and hopefully some paid ones as well! Although this could be a payed gig...not entirely sure.
I have also been working on a music video for one of Julie's songs entitled Shoes. My partner from class is editing on the computer next to me right now. She hasn't edited anything before and so i am walking her through the process. It is also the first video i have filmed in HD! Which is amazingly beautiful. Also did a film noir piece in HD the other night that should be finished today. Both videos will be up on YouTube eventually.
Another really exciting thing other than playing music is that i started working on a documentary with two of my teachers. My Drama of Diversity teacher, Jennifer Rincon, is starting her own company for the arts entitled Vision Box. Her main area of expertise is theatre, but the company will span many different fields of art. The first project she is working on is a theatre piece about this church that is employing ex-cons and veterans to install solar panels on church buildings. Now, where i come in, my teacher Jessica Lance is directing a documentary about the entire production process. Which is really fascinating because we are getting all these great stories from ex-cons and veterans. It should be a very interesting doc on the human condition. They do not have much money yet, but if they get the grants they are trying for i may get money and credit for helping to work on it! Not to mention crazy experience and connections!
I am excited for things to come. It is starting to warm up here. Actually hit 60 degrees the other day! Was riding my bike in shorts and a t-shirt, haha. Cannot wait for summer! But first is spring break, John Mayer, and Chris! Much fun to come.
