Lost in My Daydreams Again....

I've always been a daydreamer, especially while I listen to music. Very often when I find a song that I love, I write an entire plot or story line surrounding around it in my head. After this, I listen to it on repeat and constantly play in back in my memory. Sometimes I make changes or add ideas to it, but usually I just keep it the same. It's funny to me, because I never get tired of the scenes. Usually I get really into it and determine what actors would be perfect for the role. So this connection between music and film is really strong for me. Last year in my film class I got the opportunity to put that to test when we got a music video assignment. We got to choose a song and had to make a video to go with it. My group decided on  the Bassnectar Remix of "Lights" by Ellie Goulding, and being the total nerd that I am, I had to come up with an elaborate plot to go with it. For whatever reason, the only thing that I could picture in my mind was a ballerina and I didn't know why, but we went from there and this is a link to the final project if you have a few spare minutes!

Lights Music Video!! 

Storytelling is one of my passions, and I kind of made this music video my baby for the week or so that we worked on this project (I'm lucky my group members didn't really care about the project, because I got to do whatever I wanted with it!!). Of course it's not perfect, but I'm still quite proud of how it turned out. :)
