Band club practices crowding up my schedule.

2009-08-18T02:56:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow will be the last exam day and here in my country, exam days last for a week or so. That's a good thing since that'll be the end of toiling (supposedly). But here's another thing to crowd up my schedule- band club. Okay, okay, you might be thinking that this is just a boring drum and lyre band or a marching band or something.. but you are wrong! I do not belong to any school activity that is related with those.

The band club I am talking about is my school's "rock band" band club (cool eh?). I've been notified by my teacher (the very same guy who tasked me to create that Benildean Idol claymation video. See previous post, "Study for that exam!") that the school's band club should perform onstage for the Benildean Idol contest finals. It sounds exhilarating (especially for those who seek fame or for those of you who love music) but I will have to practice for a few days starting tomorrow which means I will have to stay in school for extended school hours just for the band to practice. And by the way, tomorrow was supposed to be a half-day but unfortunately, I have to stay until 3:30 pm which is 3 and a half hours after the formal dismissal time.

I have to make a claymation video for Benildean Idol and I want to relax as well cause last week was examination week and this week is another examination week. I want to make a short film that has been crowding up my mind for weeks now but unfortunately because of my schedule, I can't. School is really tiring. I have to clear up my busy week. *Sigh* I hope God helps me with these things, I pray. :)

Shall I repeat "Game Over" ?

If you're wondering what that is. It's a video I made a year ago. I liked it the first time as well as other people. But today I watched it again but I wasn't quite content with it. Here's the video:

The concept is great, I admit, and I thank you for everyone who appreciated it, but i just think it's too messy and choppy. Since my stop motion skills are getting better and better each day, I figured I'll do a part two of the "Game Over Video". Maybe I'd get to do that after I finish that Benildean Idol claymation (see previous post "Study for that exam!") video. And, I'd to put much persuasion on myself (laziness) and I'd have to get my busy schedule right. That's another upcoming thing from indiestopmotion.

Study for that exam!

2009-08-16T23:05:00.000-07:00

Okay, this week has really been busy. End of quarter exams are coming up and I have to study history, geometry, language etc.. Another thing I have to do is that claymation video for my school's upcoming event, Benildean Idol. It's a singing contest just like American Idol or some sort. Anyways, my teacher asked me to make a claymation video for that event and I admit, I am overwhelmed because of the fact that i'd get a chance to be popular and stuff, but I don't know the concept of the video! So if you have any suggestions, comment it below... please?

Well, what I imagined yesterday during my hour long free time is a green ball (green is my school's color) rolling onto some musical related object like a guitar, a microphone, etc.. The problem is, I dunno the plot and how I should end the video! This has always been the situation when I'm asked to do a vid for a school project or some sort. I'll post the video up in my youtube page once I'm done with it. Cheers!
