The San Fernando Valley

This was another piece I was lucky to edit. Watching this showed me how simplicity can really go a long way in telling a story. Sachin and John did a great job in making all the transitions without the use of verbal language.

Never Too Old To Try

Unfortunate for you and fortunate for me, I have been fascinated that my new Blackberry Pearl has a video recorder, so hence the craziness of my video postings. Although the piece video is of a hip hop class with a sub teacher, later that night I discovered there was a break dance class. I had to laugh at myself...an almost 30 year old girl, taking break dance for the first time. I will admit, I did love it!

Hip Hop Dance Class - A Millie

Today I learned one of my favorite routines from Brim's hip hop dance class at Athletic Garage in Pasadena. "A Millie" by Lil Wayne. The video was taken with a cell phone video camera under low lighting, so forgive it's poor quality.

Makes me want to groove soon!

Raging Roomates

This was another improvisation scene that was pieced together in class. We tried to go the funny route, and hopefully succeeded. I had a hard time getting into the "acting" aspect actually and wished I could have done a ton of things differently. But it is what it is. Please excuse the swearing...

The Cafe

We've been working on improv scenes in class shooting them as we go, which has been turning out pretty well. Here are 3 scenes so far:

Week 3 "The Cafe"


Week 2 "The Firing"

Who I Am I To Be

In my opinion, there are three sides to us as human beings: 1) Who we are expected to be 2) Who we want to be, and 3) Who we need to be. These three sides are constantly at battle with each other and I realize that life would be so much easier if all 3 of those were the exactly the same, but that is almost impossible. So far, I've been living life mostly as the person who I need to be and expected to be. I'm constantly in conflict every time I lean towards who I want to be and find some way to kick myself back against it.

It is so frustrating. Even though I realize what is stopping me from being who I want to be, there are simply too many expectations and responsibilities in the way that I get make me fear and stray from that path. Arghhhh!
