There's not a whole lot of filming opportunities before the album's release, so I'm currently preparing my plans for the movie's creation. I've been trying to find some time to watch some "rockumentaries" to get some inspiration. Two that I'm currently looking forward to seeing are "End of The Century: The Story of the Ramones" and "The Fearless Freaks", which revolves around the Flaming Lips. Maybe I'll watch "Some Kind of Monster" for the umpteenth time for good luck. (and "This is Spinal Tap", of course)

So this is a blog post. I'm not exactly sure what I should write about, so I'll ramble about my senior project ideas and hope I get a passing grade on this blog thing.

My primary idea for my senior project is to make a 30-60 minute documentary on the Josh Ridings Band, chronicling the release of their album and their awesome adventures. I'm pretty psyched about it. I've always liked "rockumentaries" and my goal (as long as this idea goes through) is to make a version of Metallica's "Some Kind of Monster" without all the in-band drama, yelling, drugs, and $25,000 therapists. (It's a great film if you've never seen it, even if you have no interest in Metallica). I'm not so much into filmmaking itself, but more of the documentation of music related events and people. (I love band-related oral histories and biographies)

Up top is a visual idea of what I'd like the title scene to have on it. (Note the numbers)

I really hope this blog post is satisfactory for whoever is grading this and entertaining/interesting for those who aren't. If not, do me a favour (I use English spelling variants) and tell me what I should/shouldn't do.
