Sound Design Post 10

Something pretty cool happened this week in relation to sound. A while ago I was asked to help with a Music video but I said I can't because I had too much work, but honestly I didn't want to be part of another music video where people thought that it would be easier than it actually is, fumbling about and all that. But earlier this week I heard that it was a Film and TV project and it was all about the operators doing their job right, not the performers. Also, about 7 of my friends were part of it as well. Anyway, I heard that they lost their percussion player, so I offered to help. I only played on a Cajon, (pronounced KO-HONE), once but when you've played drums as long as I have, you can pick up any percussion instrument fairly quickly. Anyway, I had a rehearsal with them, we were playing Space Oddity and Starman by David Bowie.

After my day, full of filming and rushing and directing, acting, etc, it finally came to doing the music video, and how shocked was I when I saw the production that was going in to filming just the 3 of us playing 2 songs. It was class! My film and Sound lecturers were also there working with the student and it was a lot of fun and a good experience. I hope I did well enough :)

I wasn't able to go to class this week because I was just overloaded with work, (because I took on a lot of extra work as well as normal assignments, such as Editor for a 10 minute short film, Project Manager for brief work, Graphic Artist for a Film and TV Short Film Group and now I'm gonna be a Social Media Officer for the Islamic Society... Yeah, a lot of extra work), and I missed a lot of other classes to just so I could either stay at home or Starbucks and work. I'm not to worried about the Lara Croft Assignment. As long as I get the sounds recorded, the rest should be straight forward just like the PINGU assignment. It's just getting the time at the end to do it. That's why I'm trying to clear all my other assignments as soon as I can so that I can work fully on the Lara Croft Go video.
