City Slickers/ Solo Project Idea

A film or video of 2 minutes or so, about b-boying. Nothing is said just dancing with several b-boys i choose this video because my mentor and several dancers i know are in it. Also it relates to how i want to do my project, the video contains very little editing but some effects the shows the ability of the filmer himself. I dont want my film project to be filled with editing because in all actuality it makes the people in the film look so crappy.

I say it makes the people in it look crappy because heavy editing means that the way that they look is kinda lame. Same applies to the voice thing, heavy editing to the voice means you freaking suck, I want the film to be as raw as possible. So whether it be a music video, Dance video or skate video i want it to be raw people tend to over look raw videos but i think the raw videos show the true talent of the people. Thats why i find this video "city slickers" important it shows talent, but it shows little editing but also the ability of the filmer in a small amount of editing.

Acoustic Music

Acoustic music is named after the instrument used in it which is the acoustic guitar or any other acoustic instrument. SO Anything electric etc is not acoustic for your information, usually a soft tone of music but it can be fast paced. My group team based our project on this type of music cause we do have ties to this type of music so of course its easy. One of the group members wrote a song, the other played along and that was what the project revolved around that song.

Many play the acoustic guitar, i did as well so this project relates to me as well. Acoustic music can be violins though it is acoustic many amplify the sound using electric amplifiers sort of contradicting i know. Do to the low sound it is needed because in a room full of 600 you wouldn't be able to hear a single strum thats why they do that. Personally i enjoy acoustic music but I prefer rock a lot more because of the tempo, the sound and of course the lyrics.
