I didn't mention in my stream of consciousness blog that I have been playing the drums for almost 8 years. I love music, especially because drums are sort-of a heartbeat. I could use a heartbeat for my passion for sports for how a team's heart has to beat as one. I can imagine some really intense "heart beat" shots with black in between and a girl throwing/catching/hitting. I don't think I want to do a "This is my life as I play sports" type of thing. Not like a MTV type of video. I can also picture some type of narrative where I talk about something in relation to drums, but film myself playing drums in totally different places. I could tie in my childhood with the different places that I go.
I really, really liked the idea of making a video as a letter to my future children. I can definitely think of the narration, but besides home video, I can't think of any solid video that would go with the narration. I wrote a paper in high school that went from me playing softball as a 6 year old and traveling through my life until I was a parent watching my daughter play (the paper was like a circle). It's the best paper I've written in my life, and I was thinking about reading it as the narration. I just don't know what I would put as the video.
I don't think this is going to be a video where I have a "lightbulb moment". I really think I am going to have to work through it and I might produce something that isn't exactly what I want do to, because I don't know automatically what I want to do. Videos like these scare me because they are a little outside my box. Hopefully, I can come up with something that really catches people and shows who I am.
