What I Want, You've Got

So, I'm breaking the whole themed posts, but it's my blog and I do what I want. Plus, I wanted you guys to watch this awesome video. It was made at Shorewood High School (in Shoreline, WA) for a lip sync competition that another Shoreline school (Shorecrest) challenged them to. The whole video was shot BACKWARDS. Also, it's one continuous shot.



It's amazing that this was made by a high school film class. I wish I could have done something like this in high school.

[EDIT]

In the interest of fairness (this being a competition and all) I'll post Shorecrest's video as well.



What do you guys think? Which one do you like best? I like the one from Shorewood better. I think the song choice and the fact that it's shot backwards is what makes me like it more.

[END EDIT]

The only time I saw something filmed in one continuous shot was a movie I watched called Nine Lives. Which is definitely worth looking up (I think it's even on YouTube [and not to be confused with the movie Nine Lives that has Paris Hilton in it]). It's about the lives of nine different women (hence the name) and each segment is shot in one continuous shot, it's really amazing.

Anyhoo, hope you enjoyed the video.

Well, I have 114 days until I graduate. The countdown is on! Woo! Haha.

Anyhoo, classes start in 5 days. Not rubbing it in to those of you who have already started classes (Zaida), or to those of you who are not starting classes but would like to. I'm looking forward to most of my classes this semester. 75% of them.

Classes:
.Directing
.Approaches to Religion
.Spanish 105
.Fiction

Can you guess which class I do not want to take?
That's right, Approaches to Religion. I don't know if that surprises anyone. But, it's just one semester, I guess I can stomach it...but I won't enjoy it.

Auditions for the ice breaker are on the first day of classes. It's going to be Too Much Light, apparently. I'm excited. It's been done twice since I've been here and I was never involved, so here's my chance :]

So, I've been perusing YouTube and I've decided to share some fun videos with you guys. Yeah, you're welcome.

So these next two videos are from a group called Jam'N. The first video is their cover of 'Knocks You Down' by Keri Hilson (Feat. Neyo and Kanye West). It only has a part of the group singing. Then the second one has most of the group singing. They're doing a cover of 'Lately' by Divine.



That's probably one of the best covers of that song that I've listened to.



This song is apparently by Divine, however I remember more fondly the cover that Samantha Mumba did (which is still on my iPod). That's a little throw back to way old school Disney (pretty sure it was Zoog Disney times).

Okay, up next is Amber Tamblyn (of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants fame) doing some original poetry. She's really good. Makes me want to write more of my own.



For this next video, let it load and then skip to 2:55. There's a long intro and banter, so at 2:55 is when the poem starts. It's definitely worth it.




Well, hope you all enjoyed.
