The title pretty much expresses how I feel right now. I haven’t been able to give my blog the mad love it deserves in a little while. So I figured I won’t be sleeping tonight because I’m way to stressed about my presentation tomorrow because it’ll make or break my grade in a class that has consistently given me trouble all semester long. I can do no right with those assignments no matter how good damn long I spend on them. Anyway, the title also explains my feeling in general towards the mash ups. I’ve been trying to upload some of the mash up work that I did 2 weeks ago but I’ve been running into some copyright filters and they aren’t letting me through. So I’ll be working on getting that through or disputing it and seeing if I can get it up.

So while I’m here I might as well divulge what my plans are for the final project. I’ve always viewed song as one of the best ways to tell a story and music videos are something that I like immensely. One of my favorite bands has this really awesome music video that I really like. The band is Fair to Midland and the song is Dance of the Manatee.

Above is the video and it’s really artsy and kickass and unique. They released another music video for the song Musical Chairs and it was a very disappointing affair however. It basically involves them just standing around in a room playing instruments like every freaking band music video ever.

It’s a nice song but it’s so much wasted potential, so I thought why not design their next music video myself? Do a rough storyboard of what I’d like to see and bring it back to some awesome sauce.
