One, Two, Three, Four....Fifteen!!!!

I've had the hardest time thinking of music for the footage I have of Francesca, to tell a story. Since I knew her birthday was coming up, I decided to go with the germ of a video idea I had of her and her teammate, Courtney. I wanted to play with a long cut with a camera fixed in place, so I could make images disappear and also blend to create ghost images.

The Saturday I took the long clip (Oct 11, 2008) of these two doing giants on bars, Julia said putting the camera on them was good, because that was the most giants they had done in a while. The editing toward the end is a bit rushed, due to crunch time, but I think it still works.

Happy sweet 15, Francesca!

I'm Yours

This was a quick, spur of the moment video, as I discovered a new favorite song by Jason Mraz, "I'm Yours". The melody just has a certain "happy spirit" to it (at least to me). So a couple of hours later: Walla! A new LASG video.

I was torn between using the original Mraz version, or this cover, by Chris Cendana (Mispelled his last name in the closing credits- grrr!). I like the Happy Slip Cup Beat, so I opted for the latter. I don't know why I find it so uplifting, but it's my new fave until I wear out the song after a hundred listens.
