Now for the real goodbye! (if you're looking for a yap session, check out the reflection blog! YAY!)
Thank you all so much for coming on this awesome journey with me ♪( ´▽｀) I have come a very long way, and I'm sure you have as well, super awesome blog reader!
This won't be the end forever and ever though! I'll be back next year with A LEVEL!!! WOOHOOO!!!! So definitely stay tuned for next years media adventures! For now though, take care of yourselves my friends, and remember to always remain awesome!
Hey super awesome blog readers, a bit of special post today :)
(cambridge do u like my steven universe reference)
The Cambridge portfolio project has officially concluded! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! LETS GOOOO!!! Hours and hours and hours and HOURS SO MANY HOURS of hard work has proven to be finally all worth it in the end!
As arduous as this project may have been at times, I genuinely had such a fun time throughout it all. From getting casted, to designing the characters and costumes, to acting under the blazing sun, to post production, and to the final reflection; I enjoyed just about every single bit of it :)
So now! A reflection! I'm a yapper at heart and a very sentimental person, so STRAP IN! I'm going to TALK.
EMI'S SUPER AWESOME REFLECTION ON THIS SUPER AWESOME PROJECT:
In the first week of this project, I was ecstatic. I still remember talking with my group about what genre we were going to do and the way we all immediately agreed to do a Western Sci-fi was hilarious, here wait let me run back that interaction (paraphrased):
Probably Zach: "So what genre are we going to do?"
"hmmmmmmm"
Renn: "oh em gee what if we do a Western"
All of us: HOLY SHIT
Nico: What if we do a Western Sci-fi??
All of us: HOLLYYYYY SHIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Obviously, if you read one of my very first blog posts on this project, we ended up doing just a Western due to our luxurious, grand, opulent, deluxe, lush budget of a bag of dirt! But nevertheless, feeling that ambition and excitement during that first week was a joy like no other and when it was confirmed that we were sticking with a Western, with me as the starring actress, I was HYPE. I always, since my very birth, thought that Westerns were so badass, and so when I heard I was going to be the face of this awesome Western production I was jumping off the walls!!
I remember the fourth week better than all of the others; the joy I felt while designing our lovely characters and costumes was actually incomprehensible, and to make it even better, they came to life! As someone who has a head FILLED with constant scenarios and creative ideas, I usually have a hard time executing them and therefore fall victim to the slimy hands of inconsistency, but this project has finally let me see my ideas right in front of me! THEY WERE RIGHT THERE! FOR ME TO SEE! AND NOT JUST IN MY HEAD!! HOLY SHAT!!! It was incredible. Since then, Charlotte and Phillip have remained in my imagination and will probably stay there until the next media-adventure-related hyper fixation!
the goats
We of course had our challenges with our super awesome Western genre; from the plot to the location, and even thought about switching genres at one point...but thanks to our overpowering dedication, we found a great location (shout out to Vista View Park), wrote an awesome plot, and designed believable characters and costumes! This whole process of ups and downs really proved to me that anything, absolutely anything that you set your mind to can and will be done ♪( ´▽｀)!
Both filming days, with their obvious challenges, were insanely successful and hella fun. I learned how to hold a shovel properly, walk better in a straight line (sorta) (I lack in that department), and the amazing power of friendship! Friendship is magic! (reference)
After filming, I saw myself through the lens of a super awesome high quality camera and literally started jumping out of pure joy. I haven't felt that excited since the music marketing project way back in December! HELLA! Witnessing some of the editing being done in chemistry class (shoutout to goated chem buddy Zach) and being apart of the post production stage, whether that be doing voice over or making grunting noises in the middle of a school hallway was so incredibly amazing, and made a hella amount of good memories.
A list of funny moments that happened during production and post production:
-Zach, Nico, and Renn frantically trying to remove my nail polish on filming day 1
-Emi failing to pin down the shovel after a long take
-Emi learning how to hold a shovel after living for 16 years on this great green planet
-Emi getting sprayed by Renn's spray bottle THAT I STILL NEED TO GIVE BACK HOLY SHIT. NOTE TO SELF!
-Nico yapping away about his rectal canal while Tstok was right behind him (BAHAHHAHAHHA I LAUGHED THAT WAS SO FUNNY)
-Recording grunting noises in the 300's hallway (emi caveman?)
-The con artist
he is artist
the con is the
is the artist con the
the is artist
con
the
At that point, our opener was good, with only the color grading and graphics remaining, but that still meant we had to shift our attention to the final part of this long project: THE CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION! A C! A C! AND AN R! C AND A C AND A R! R AND C! C! c what
The CCR's were overall a very exciting and fun filled experiences, as even more of my creative ideas came to life which was AWESOME!! But the setbacks I had with it were MAJOR. MAAAJORRRRRRR. If you didn't read my last blogpost yet, on Saturday, my old computer decided to run out the door and never ever come back (it died forever), which led to a near breakdown (mental) and a loss in hope and sanity. Completely honest, at that moment I actually thought about quitting, that there was absolutely no way I would be able to rebuild BOTH videos in time before the big due date of March 25th.
But after a while, I remembered what my name was....it was PERSERVERANCE. And so I sucked it up, got my ass back up, and edited both videos. From scratch. AND I COMPLETED THEM IN TIME?????!!!? AND THEY TURNED OUT DECENT?????? GIVE ME A HELL YEAH!!!!!
(you can say it in your head too, that's fine) HELL YEAH!!!
From this whole CCR situation, I am genuinely so proud of myself and everything that I have learned. So many sacrifices were involved with all of production, from multiple mosquito bites, to a broken finger nail, late ass nights, and some of my sanity; it was so worth it. SO WORTH IT! IM SO PROUD! I have become a better thinker (creatively) (don't ask me any math problems), a much better editor (this past week I've seen Premiere Pro more than the outside world), and even matured a little bit! Oh! And learned a VERY important lesson: PLEASPLEEPALPELAPLSPEALAPLDPAS PLEEEASEEEE HOLY SHIT I BEG YOU PLEASE ALWAYS SAVE AND STORE YOUR IMPORTANT PROJECTS IN AN EXTERNAL HARDRIVE!!! PLEASEEEE!!! As cool as I feel after persevering my ass off, I DO. NOT. RECCOMEND. THIS EXPERIENCE. PLEASE GET AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.
After days and days of actual blood, sweat, and especially tears, holy shit I just realized all of those things happened throughout this project, here wait look ur not ready:
Blood: when half of my thumbnail painfully broke off after taking out my phone out of the tripod wayyy to forcefully (lesson learned)
Sweat: Both opener filming days (spray bottle and actual sweat), and CCR filming days! Yes! Even the first one!
Tears: When I lost ALL of my CCR editing progress. Man, can you believe that happened to her? (me?)
Well! Blood, sweat, and tears! That's proof that this project was truly a big deal! It didn't play! IT DID NOT PLAY.
As I was saying!!!
After days and days of actual blood, sweat, and especially tears, before I knew it, this whole project came to it's inevitable end. Am I happy? Glad? Yes. Holy shit yes. I will now be able to receive reasonable amounts of sleep and enjoy my spring break! But am I also sad? Feeling a bit bittersweet? For sure! I'm going to really miss chatting away in here, those awesome late night blog sessions, chilling on the couch in the company of my super awesome family while writing blog posts, (I think I like writing blogs), and most of all being able to hang out a lot more frequently with my super awesome friends: Zach, Renn, and Nico. I swear each media class since January has been an adventure with them.
And to those very friends, thank you all for being super awesome like always ♪( ´▽｀)! Production and post production really wouldn't have been as fun and silly as it was without you guys, and I'm so very incredibly happy I worked with you all on this project! Surrounded by pure talent! Always laughing about something!
he con is the artis
But with all of that and probably many other things that I'm most likely forgetting right now, I must now post this blog so I'm not toast tomorrow when I post my final project! This won't be my final goodbye just yet, but pretend it is for emotional value:
Thank you all for following me along the way :) From every joke, yap session, unhinged rant, and drawing, I truly had insane amounts of fun throughout our time together ♪( ´▽｀)!
Super awesome blog readers! I am so incredibly sorry for my absence. I have been working HARD on editing both CCR videos as I want them to be the best as they can be because I genuinely want to create something I will remain proud of.
But today, the worst possible thing that could ever happen, HAPPENED! I was worried about this since DAY 1 of CCR week....here watch this video that I filmed right after an absolute tragedy.
My computer. died. forever. FOREVER! This absolutely COULD NOT happen!! I HAD 2 WHOLE CCR VIDEOS ON THERE! SO MUCH PROGRESS! NO!!!!!! At first, as always, I was in denial that my computer went away forever but after staring at it for a good 5 minutes, I picked up the phone and called my brother about the whole thing.
Once I told him what went down, there was a certain urgent tone in his voice that really freaked me out and made me realize, "oh shit this is actually happening." My brother told me that what might have happened is that the internal battery of the computer died completely or it overheated, either way though it was recommended that I told my dad ASAP! But after I hung up, I didn't immediately call my dad, oh nah! With a newfound panic, I went downstairs to the office computer and downloaded Premiere Pro faster than me when I leave my lang class, with only a shrivel of hope left for my beloved CCR projects.
I signed into creative cloud, and searched if either of my projects were saved in the cloud...but to my luck
they were all gone
With anxious adrenaline pumping through my newfound panicked body, I began to SOB. I couldn't believe it! EVERYTHING! EVERY CUT! EVERY GRAPHIC! EVERY SOUND EFFECT! GONE!!!!! ALL GONE!! BYE BYE!! FOREVER!!!! I lost hope....I genuinely lost all hope for this project for a brief moment, I was petrified. I then finally got the strength to pick up my phone and call my dad about all of this. He was at the gym at the time, and when he got my call, I'm pretty sure he could already tell it was urgent from my discombobulated sobbing words. YAY!
After about 15 minutes, my dad came home, bursted through the door, and started to inspect the computer. He pressed and held down the power button multiple times....but to no avail. After 3 minutes, it was confirmed....my computer officially had run its course.
But we couldn't just sit there and do nothing! I had a project due in the next 70 hours! We had to sit our asses up and find a solution! It's funny that I'm saying this, because at the time, I lost all my faith in life...BUT I'M BACK! I'M STILL STANDING! LIKE I ALWAYS DO! YAY!
live footage of me persevering (I wanted to jump off a microwave)
So our solution? Go to BestBuy and see what the heck happened to my computer! And possibly get a new one! Because this project still exists! And so does school! Yay!
Me taking my computer (the grey thing u see on my lap) to Best Buy

Once we got there and told them what happened to my 6 year old long gone laptop, the guys at Geek Squad said that what happened with my computer was most likely an internal system issue and that it needed a couple of days to be fixed so we can transport data from it to my possible new computer. LOVELY!
After talking and giving my old computer to Geek Squad, my dad and I began to hunt for a new victim (computer)! We were trying to find one that would be good for both gaming and normal computer stuff like being a slave to the public school system! YAY! We were taking a second to find one, and I think one of the worker dudes noticed that because he went up to us and asked if we needed any help. He showed us around and finally recommended the MSI laptop, a perfect combination of a gaming and normal computer! I immediately fell in love with it and my dad loved the price! SO HELL YEAH IT WAS A PURCHASE! (fun fact: it was the last one in stock....THE STARS ALIGNED!!)
So we got the computer, some sanity, and a thumb drive! Because from now on, I need to treat my projects like a princess in a carriage! LIKE ABSOLUTE GOLD. THEY CAN'T LEAVE AGAIN.
I then got home, set up the computer, and downloaded Premiere Pro! And as you may have guessed, I started editing! Both videos! From the ground up! All over again! JOY! But luckily, since I now know how to navigate Premiere Pro a lot better as I have spent all of my hours and then some on it as of lately, the process went by A LOT QUICKER! I got the line edit ready to go yesterday night in under 2 and a half hours! RECORD BREAKING FOR ME!!
I'm just about to finish up the line edit for CCR 2, and right after that it's graphics, sound effects, multimedia, and touch ups time! I should have my whole project ready by Monday afternoon/evening AT THE LATEST!!! THIS. WILL. BE. DONE. AND I WILL ENJOY MY SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!
I'll see you all again soon once I submit the project and final reflection! Lesson learned? ALWAYS. ALWAYS ALWAYS SAVE. YOUR. PROJECT. ON. AN. EXTERNAL. HARDRIVE. ALWAYS. PLEASE. I BEG YOU. don't learn the hard way like I have today....it was truly the most anxiety I have felt since last year's Algebra EOC exam.
It's the final stretch, with only 48 hours remaining....LET'S FINISH THIS SHIT!!!
2/4 BLOGS DONE FOR THE 8TH AND FINAL WEEK! EVER! As you may saw on the last blog, today I officially completed ALL of filming for both CCR'S!!! I'm currently halfway done with editing CCR 1 because I started literally right after my first day of filming because head starts are super cool and awesome, and haven't started with editing CCR 2 yet but will get there AS. SOON. AS. POSSIBLE!!!! THIS PROJECT! DUE! VERY VERY SOON! LIKE NOW! AS I SPEAK!!!!!!!
Anyway yeah as u probably guessed, today's post is all about post production! YIPPEEEEE!!!!! I'll first be talking about the progress made with editing the first CCR, and then right after will talk all about the progress with the second one! VAMONOS!!!
FOR THE THUMBNAIL! We love Finn (we all say in unison)!!
MY BACK HURTS: EDITING CCR 1!!
So at first, I went into editing this video thinking "this is probably gonna end up being like 4 minutes! YAY"
i was so wrong
I TALK. WAYYYY TOOOOO MUCHHH!! WAY TOO MUCH! So much so that once I finished half of the line edit Overthinking AND Rational Emi were both like "yeah no this is way too long Emi, you have to cut a lot of stuff" and then I was like "HHHHHGHHGHGHGHHGHHHAGAGGHJJ fine." I then proceeded to cut ALL of the unboxing Terry section (sorry Terry) and multiple scenes from the other unboxings to save as much time as possible! I wanted this video to end up being at THE VERY LEAST 6 minutes! I want my time for the second CCR! Although because the first CCR ended up being that long, I cut a lot of lines from the script....YAY FOR PROBLEM SOLVING! GUYS IM SO BURNT OUT!!!
live footage (skull emoji)
Another big concern I had with this video was for sure the lighting! The only sources of light in the video were from the game room window and the purple LED pencil, both of which, especially the window light, can be messed with multiple times throughout production! Some of my shots were a bit too dark, so luckily I had the power of Color grading on my side! I turned up the exposure, turned up the warm tint, and we were pretty chilling after that! :D I only had to change up one or two shots so it wasn't so scary!
PURPLE LIGHT! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!
Other than time and lighting, editing for the first CCR is almost done! All I need to do now is add some graphics, sound effects, and scale in some shots because YouTubers love doing that! And super famous actress Emi is a YouTuber! So why not do that? :D YAY!!!
I also decided to show off footage from the opener and other media in full screen while I'm speaking over because for the format of a YouTube video, that approach makes the most sense! As for the second CCR, I'm thinking of showing multimedia through a little rectangle on the side if you know what I mean! Why? Because like, I don't really know how to explain it in words, but since the video takes place in a more natural setting, I didn't really like the idea of showing multimedia through a full screen; so I think this approach will work better! We will see! If not! So be it! YAY!!
DUE DATE IS ONLY GETTING CLOSER, IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW: EDITING CCR 2!!
I was initially going to write about all of my progress with the CCR 2 line edit, but then my computer decided to triple backflip off a microwave on Saturday and left me and my beautiful project stranded. BUT LUCKILY! I GOT A NEW ONE! AND IT'S NOT CRUSTY AND MUSTY WITH 4 KEYS MISSING! Thanks so much dad for everything that you do :DDD!!
Unfortunately though, I had to start EVERYTHING from the ground up. ALL OF IT. Treacherous, I know. BUT! IF YOU READ THESE BLOGS! YOU KNOW I DON'T DO GIVING UP! I PERSERVERE! I STILL STAND!!!!!!! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
guys help my back really hurts
As of now, the line edit for CCR 2 is complete and ready to be decorated with my awesome design!! >:DDD It shouldn't take too long to get everything touched up, as it is a much shorter video than CCR 1, and doesn't require a whole lot! STILL THOUGH! I need the whole day tomorrow to LAWK. IN!!
For this video especially, color grading is going to be absolutely NEEDED. Since this was filmed in the great outdoors, the setting changes colors as the day goes on! There are some shots I got while the sun was going down and the exposure is really low because of it, so I'll need to raise it! I also would like to add a warm tint on each of the shots in the line edit because I LOVE IT! And it's my video, so I get to do what I may please! (well at least parts of it, this is for a school grade after all)
WARM TINT! Also timeline :33
Also, I decided to include some insert shots of super famous actress Emi from another angle at some parts in the video for the grand 'ol reason of visual appeal! I don't ever want my lovely viewers to get bored of my creations, so I figured that a video with this type of format, I would definitely have to include some eye catching stuffs!!
HELLO ALL!!! WELCOME!! TO THE FINAL WEEK!! holy shit it's the final week. WELCOME TO THE FINAL WEEK!! WEEK 8!! holy crap how did we get here in one piece
It is a lovely Tuesday morning and I am currently in study hall! YAY! Fun fact: I've technically had 2 study halls today because my chem teacher was absent and so we had a sub and and and that meant we didn't have to do much and and I GOT WORK DONE!! Just now in study hall, like idk like 20 minutes ago, I finished my lang homework (bless up) and SO GUESS WHAT!!! I DON'T GOTS ANYMORE HOMEWORK!! LETS GOOOOO!!! So because of that, today I won't have to focus on anything else besides MEDIAAAAA OOOOHHH YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!
I'm planning on filming the rest needed for CCR 1 and begin on filming for CCR 2 if I so possibly can! Because that needs to happen! Like really soon! Guys this project is due! Like rn!!! YEAH!!
As for now, I, Tuesday Emi, will be talking all about what I have done so far with production of CCR 1!! So with everything said, let's get right into it! :DDD
WHAT TIME IS IT? IT'S FANMAIL TIME! WHAT TIME IS IT? IT'S FANMAIL TIME! (reference) (I think) (idk where I got that from) (bubble guppies???? what time is it? It's lunch time??)
Sunday afternoon, right after my haircut (guys I can actually see the world with these shorter bangs this is wild), I bursted into my room, sat my ass down, AND BEGAN WORKING ON PROPS!! In a previous post, I mentioned that I was planning on drawing the "fanart" sent to super famous actress Emi! And I did!!! Check it!!!
Up top on the left, you can see Ryan's "fanart" and the super awesome inspiration for it on the right!! For this piece, I decided to make a really cool sort of poster-like type of thing! :D Here, Charlotte and Phillip are looking back. Towards what??? Their dead loved ones! :D Or death! :D Or their ever looming guilt and grief from the death of their loved ones!! Which ever one sounds the best to you! :DDDDD YAYYYY!!! While making this, I was also inspired by that cool ass Western poster you see on top which I came across on Pinterest! I really loved the colors on it, so I implemented it into my own art! I colored with marker, graphite, and paint :D YIPPEEEEE!! I'm happy with how it turned out! I love art guys!!! :DD
Fanart from Terry!! :D
This "fanart" came from a little kid named Terry, so I decided to draw something that I definitely would have if I were 10 years old! I tried my best to make it seem like a child made this with the sloppy handwriting continuously going off the side, messy coloring (that part was hard due to my perfectionism lolz), the cute lil art style, and incorrect gun position! Look at Charlottes left hand guys! She's holding the gun incorrectly! That's on purpose! I would have SO drawn a person holding a gun like that if I were 10!
After finishing both of those up, I laid back on my chair and stared into the endless void that is my window for a considerable amount of time and asked myself "How else can I add creative flare to this video??" As this is a (CREATIVE) critical reflection, I had to include more creativeness!! After the zoning out session, Creative Emi was all like, "yo emi u should totally like paint the boxes or decorate them or something" and then I said "HOLY SHIT." And so with that, I tied up my hair, put my lovely TMNT beanie on, grabbed my paints and brushes, (set up my phone on my tripod and began filming because fun), AND GOT TO PAINTING!!
For Leandro's box (totally not based off of my brother), I instead added some light blue stickers instead as the box was already blue! So why paint it blue if it's already blue??? WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER!!! YAYYY!!! Here's a video of me showing the final product!! Also funfact, I had blue hedgehog stickers so the stars actually aligned when I was putting stickers on this thing.
As for Terry's, I decided that his character really likes dinosaurs! SO I PAINTED DINOSAURS!! Green T-rexes to be more specific :D Here's a video of me telling you all about my old hyperfixation (that low key never really left, I still adore Dinosaurs) on Dinosaurs! YAY!
For the last person and box sending super famous actress Emi fanmail, I made a reference cuz funny!! LOOK AT ME EXPLAINING IT! hi reenus
Right after spending maybe like an hour (she said tentatively?) working on all of the (4) boxes, it was then finally time to film!! To be honest, I picked out my outfit on the spot, BUT IT WAS MADE WITH INTENTION!!!! SWEAR!!! As you may (should) know, I LOVE PURPLE!!! So because of that super awesome fact, I went to my closet and immediately picked out my dark purple flannel!!! One of my favs!!! I also chose to wear black shorts and a super awesome tenor saxophone necklace and pink T-rex earrings!!! I was happy to find out that I have put together an outfit that is a physical embodiment of myself! It. SCREAMS. EMI!!!!
RAW FOOTAGE SHOWING (half) OF MY OUTFIT!!
After that, I then tore apart my whole room, especially my desk, and starting decorating it for the first half of the video! This first half will be a little skit where super famous actress Emi will basically greet her viewers and eventually gets interrupted by her (totally real) roommate who opens the door and drops a plethora of boxes! It took a number of takes to get this right due to my perfectionist nature and my love for safety shots....I'm very scared of having to refilm...I like having my stuff done guys. (pretend I said that with a very serious tone)
I then moved to the game room and tore it apart as well :DD I moved a little table that was in the spot I wanted to film (right next to the door and a big ass Smash Bro's poster), set down my super awesome red bean bag and plushies and the plethora of boxes and turtle stickers and dinosaur art and
it took a long time guys
BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT IN THE END! The set turned out really nice and does indeed scream, EMIIIIIII!!!!!!!! At first, I only had the plushies, led lamp, and decided to add TMNT stickers to the wall because I luv them and these CCR's need to embody my very essence! But after taking a picture (seen below) and staring at it for a good 2 or so minutes, Creative Emi was all like "yo the wall looks kinda bland bro, maybe add a poster or something???" and then I was like "OHOOHOHO YEAHHH!!! wait wait wait omg what if I make it one of my artworks??? HOLY MOLY????? OMGMGMMGGM IT CAN BE MY DINOSAUR ART!! YOOOOO YEAHHHH!!!!!!! And so I grabbed my artwork, taped it on the wall, and as a result, the set became a lot more Emified!! HELLA!!!
THE SET BEFORE ADDING DINOSAUR ART!!
THE SET AFTER ADDING DINOSAUR ART!
Following the game room set-setup? BAHAHAHHAHA I then put my phone on my mom's super awesome tripod and FILMED!! On Sunday, I got the intro part done (that totally didn't take me 2 hours who said that what), on Monday, I got all the unboxing-Ryan's-mail footage finished successfully, and finally today, I filmed mostly everything else! I don't know how I did that! I thought it would take longer!! But let's go!! Yeah!!!! :DDDD
As of current times, I am beginning on editing all the footage I got! I decided to get a head start on editing because HEEBIE JEEBIES!! I still got the second CCR to film and edit, so why not just get the first one knocked out quicker??? :D My anxiety revolving around editing is slowly decreasing by the day as I get more acquainted with Premiere Pro (YOU CAN'T SPELL PREMIERE PRO WITHOUT EMI!!) and getting editing done at a relatively good pace because of that!!
HELLO ALL!! Wednesday Emi here :DD TODAY WAS THE FINAL FILMING DAY FOR CCR 1!! This talk will be done very very soon I promise!! BUTTTT!! A few lovely things that happened today while filming some reshoots and missing shots:
1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I committed a fatal sin. Check out this video of me explaining my awful mishap. (she said in a serious tone) (I never do that)
2. HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T FILM THIS LINE BUT I THOUGHT I DID??? HUH??
GUYS
Okay so it actually turns out I did film the line but my mic wasn't turned on (multiple skull emojis) GAH!! So because of that, I had to reshoot it all! But big bad! The set was halfway cleaned up! Not good! But as I always do, I overcame this by just getting a closer shot to myself, making it not obvious that the boxes have been removed! YAY FOR PROBLEM SOLVING!
3. THAT'S ALL!! PHEW! IT'S OVER!!
CCR 1 IS OFFICIALLY DONE! FILMING WISE!! Line edit is going awesome as well! :DD Got more footage to add + multimedia and that should be it!! :D YAYYYY!!!!!!! I'm going to start filming CCR 2 the SECOND I get home tomorrow!! I then will begin editing on that as well after I'm finished tomorrow and spend ALL of Friday editing my ass off and hopefully should be finished by the evening so I can have enough time over the weekend to let Overthinking Emi run wild over this project. CAMBRIDGE! I AM NOT PLAYING!!! THESE C-C'S ARE R-ING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!!!
This is Tuesday (and Wednesday Emi! HI!) signing off!!! Now to pass it on to Just-Finished-Filming-CCR 2-Emi!!! Buh Bye!!!
THIS IS A WALK IN THE PARK! (she said while obviously lying)
HELLO ALL! It's Just-Finished-Filming-CCR 2-Emi here!! :D Believe it or not, I COMPLETED IT ALL TODAY!! HOLY MOLY! HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ME! HELLA!!! Still keeping the same idea of talking with a little creature (now named Finn), I began right after I arrived home, and put on my outfit!! Unlike the first CCR, this outfit wasn't put together on the spot but was instead in my silly scatterbrain for like a week before I made it come to life! The outfit consists of a sick ass white blazer that genuinely made me feel like a professional business woman, baggy-ish black pants that I totally don't use for band concerts (what), all completed with a ponytail and sunglasses!!! YAYYY!!!!
Raw shot showing the full sick ass outfit :DD!!! (except the boots) (it's chill though they barely show) YEAHHH!!!!!!
I then proceeded to film the first scene, where super famous actress Emi basically just does the same intro from the last CCR but with a differently decorated desk and no roommate banging on the door and dropping billions of boxes! YAYYY!!!!! Luckily, I got this scene shot quickly in a matter of a few minutes......unluckily, I forgot to turn my mic on
me at that moment
When that happened, Overthinking Emi was all like, "AHHHH NONONONO!!!! HOW ARE WE GONNA GET THIS SCENE NOW??? THE SUN'S GONNA GO DOWN SOON!!! GAHHHHHH" and then Rational Emi came by and she was like "Bro chill we still have 5 days to check errors and fix our project. CHILL" but then Overthinking Emi was like "BUT FRIDAY! WE NEED TO SUBMIT FRIDAY!" and Rational Emi was like "Yeah, that's preferred, but we took a second to film the first CCR....don't you think it's best that we just go at our own pace?" and then Overthinking Emi said "GGHAHAAAAHAHHH" and then Rational Emi was like "GRAHHHHHHHHH" and then suddenly they were both like "HHGSJHIWHZXJAHLLHALHOYUGALEKWJLEHPAIWUHEAJIPHWAEIJWPAEGHWEAOJI"
guys i lost about 50 braincells just now
BUT ALAS! As (most of the time), I listened to Rational Emi and decided to finish filming that first scene tomorrow ASAP!!!!!!
But with all that, I then went outside to my backyard and began the super awesome filming!! YAYYYYY!!!!! At first, Anxious Emi said "emi omg omg what if your neighbors are watching and judging your every move right now, emi, EMI!!!" and then I said "lol idc" (I don't care for the old ones) and proceeded to film anyway!!!! YIPPEEEE!!!
Being honest, filming this CCR went SO much more smoothly than the first one! As I didn't have to unbox a whole (3) boxes with multiple items inside, time went by slower! Hella slower!
guys im so tired
I got all the general shots done in under an hour or so, and then went on to film a few extra shots for insert purposes :D VISUAL APPEAL!! YAYYY!! I filmed most of these extras when the sun was going down at late 7 PM, so I'm thinking of either reshooting tomorrow orrrr colorgrade on Premiere Pro....WE WILL SEE!! For now look at them or I'll uhhhh I'll turn your pillow around to the hot side.
That would basically be all for the filming of CCR 2! Very simple and I'm very glad :))))!!! This video should hopefully be a lot shorter than CCR 1, maybe around 4-5 minutes....I'm really hoping it's not over that..MORE ON TIME CONCERNS IN THE EDITING POST! YAYYYY!!!! EMI'S SUPER AWESOME CONCLUSION!
BRO. guys BRo guys help I'm very tired. BUT! IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING BREAK TOMORROW! WHICH IS AWESOME! No skool :DDD But I also still have to lock my ass in with editing as well, I have to insert images, color grade if needed, and definitely make sure my videos combined won't go over the 11 minute time limit!
HELLO ALL! Happiest of Sunday's :DD!!!! I've been having a MEDIA FILLED day so far bro I'm actually not joking. I began my day by immediately finishing up the "fanart" for the first CCR video and totally did not take about almost 2 hours to finish BAHAHAHHA who said that. I then spent the rest of my countless hours filming the first page of my first CCR video and it low key went successfully! YAY! I still have a lot to film but that's tomorrow and the day after's business! I expect to be fully finished with filming the first video by Wednesday and will spend the rest of the week filming CCR 2! By Fri(yay) all of filming should be done and the whole weekend will be for editing! HELL YEAH!!! THE VOICES ARE GONE!! FOR NOW!!
guys I got a haircut and my bangs are a lot shorter I feel strange
BUT ALAS!!!!!!!! TODAY'S TOPIC!! I HAVE TO GO TO SLEEP LIKE REALLY SOON! SO LET'S GET TO IT!!! CCR QUESTION 4!! Here I'll just be answering the question and sharing the script along with it and maybe some extra stuff if I feel like it! So with that, VAMONOS!!!
FOR THE THUMBNAIL!!! this is so cool guys
QUESTION 4 ANSWER AND SCRIPT! SCRIPT AND QUESTION 4!! HELP!! THERE'S SCHOOL TOMORROW!! AND IT'S AN A DAY!!! HELP!!!
So I'm still very satisfied with my current idea for CCR 2 and more excited to film it! So we are going to keep it!! YAY!! As for question 4, it was quite the easy one to answer! We used a wide variety of technology in all forms and shapes and stuffs, and this beautiful site does indeed count! So you already know I mentioned it! Very thoroughly! Love you blogger!
With that said, here's my super awesome response to question 4:
TECH TECH TECH! Oh man, what a useful tool. Every single form of it, hardware, software, and online, has truly made an impact on the production of our opener!
With hardware, we used Zach’s (as Renn would say it) amazing, beautiful, bar of gold, camera to film! This camera captured a plethora of juicy ass shots and definitely made our opener a lot more visually appealing! Along with that, we also used a tiny little microphone that was clipped to my clothes to get the best audio quality we can get, especially for the digging sound effect! Also fun fact, we didn’t have a tripod for the camera and instead, Zach and Renn used a tube light to keep it stable, YAY FOR MAKESHIFT TRIPODS!!
For software, we used Adobe Premiere Pro, where Zach worked on the line edit and color grading, and After Effects, where Renn worked on the graphics for our opener! Premiere Pro really helped us with color as most of the shots we got were a bit too bright due to the ever shining glow of the sun, while After Effects allowed for the title and deserved credits to be displayed when needed!
As for online, oh man, oh man, ONLINE! Blogger. Blogger has been absolutely everything to me since the very beginning of this project!!! It has helped me plan, with the characters, costume design, and storyboard and also assisted in calming down the overbearing voices that stressed me out about the project, especially during these last two weeks! With the help of that wonderful website, I was able to keep great track of my progress and stay organized!! YAY! To help develop the sound, Zach mainly used Pixabay to retrieve all the audio needed and created a banger sound design!
After writing this, it was time to insert it into the super awesome script! THAT I FINISHED TODAY!! YIPPEEEEEE!!!!! I've decided to answer question 3 last because I'm pretty sure I can (it's in my notes so hella) and feel like it's a better way to conclude a project that I have been working on for 8 weeks! YAYYYY!!!! So with that being said, check out the full script :D
CCR 2 FULLLLL SCRIPT!!! YAY!!!
EMI sits down on her desk, chair facing the camera like CCR 1.
EMI: Well my friends….the time has come. I’m excited to say that today is finally the day of the interview! WOOHOO!! The outfit goes crazy right?
To be honest, the nerves are high right now, and there are about 3 and a half hours before it’s time to walk into Vanity Fair’s studio, so to calm myself down and make time seemingly go by slower, I oughta take us out on a walk! VAMONOS!!
EMI holds the camera while walking outside to the local park that’s totally not my backyard, calm music playing in the background.
EMI sets down the camera at a good spot and sits down.
EMI: ….Man…throughout all my years in the film industry, I never ever thought I would make it this far. Who knew that the small little projects made for school eventually led to…THIS?? It’s truly unbelievable bro..
…….
EMI: I feel a tapping on my back..(FINN shows up right next to EMI) GAH!!
FINN: Hello there Emi! Beautiful day isn’t it?
EMI: Woah! Uh…hi? I had no idea animals could talk holy crap
FINN: We can! You humans just don’t sit down and listen a whole lot!
EMI: Ah well, yeah that makes sense. Wait! You know my name???
FINN: Oh why of course! You’re Emi Valdivia, star actress of Death Wears a Dress, correct? I absolutely adored your film, your performance was extraordinary!
EMI: Yep that’s me!! Glad you liked the film Finn!....how did you watch it? Genuinely curious.
FINN: Just at the film festival that took place here not too long ago. I along with many other of my friends were invested!
EMI: Ahhh that sounds about right! Cool to hear!
FINN: Yes, indeed! Ever since then I’ve been genuinely curious…what technologies, whether that be software, hardware, or online, did you use?
EMI: Oh man, that’s a good question! With hardware, we used Zach’s (as Renn would say it) amazing, beautiful, bar of gold, camera to film! This camera captured a plethora of juicy ass shots and definitely made our opener a lot more visually appealing! Along with that, we also used a tiny little microphone that was clipped to my clothes to get the best audio quality we can get, especially for the digging sound effect! Also fun fact, we didn’t have a tripod for the camera and instead, Zach and Renn used a tube light to keep it stable, YAY FOR MAKESHIFT TRIPODS!!

With the help of that wonderful website, I was able to keep great track of my progress and stay organized!! YAY! To help develop the sound, Zach mainly used Pixabay to retrieve all the audio needed and created a banger sound design!
FINN: My, my!! That is a very wide selection of tools, Emi! It truly intrigues me how you humans use these things…..how complicated.
EMI: Ha, yeah, I would think the exact same thing if I’m being honest; one quick glance at Premiere Pro and or After Effects can be a very scary experience!
FINN: Indeed! Speaking of experience, you most likely have come a long way since the beginning of this project! How did your production skills develop throughout the making of this film?
Hmph, well! The biggest thing that this project taught me, was for sure and absolutely time management. As someone who attempts to create her own projects, whether that be comic books, short stories, or full fledged art projects, I have been a victim to the slimy hands of inconsistency since the very beginning of it all. As a starring actress, costume designer, character designer, and storyboarder, I had a handful of tasks to take care of, therefore I had to juggle my time at certain moments! I admit that these jobs aren’t as huge as director or editor, but I still had to stay vigilant and on task these past 8 weeks; spending a whole day solely for developing Charlotte and Phillip, hours designing Charlotte’s costume and giving it meaning, having to show up on set both filming days, ready to go and film for hours in the steaming sun with full sleeved clothing on, and writing 4 blogs a week on all of these things and then some on top of it!! I’m still genuinely so surprised I was able to do all of this while also juggling 4 classes and extracurriculars, and none of it would have been done without decent time management!
As for challenges, our biggest one that came with production was definitely making our genre, Western, come to life successfully. To make a good Western movie, one has to create believable costumes, plot, and find the perfect location! We had our doubts at first, and even considered switching genres at one point, but luckily our challenges with finding a good location and creating a good costume and plot have been overcome due to our overpowering dedication! YAY!!! We had two filming days, the first we shot about 90% of our footage, and the second we finished the remaining 10%!
I'm genuinely so grateful I was able to work with such amazing and talented people on this project. Since Zach, Nico, and Renn are all a part of CBTV and already have a handful of production experience under their belt, I have had the opportunity to witness absolute greatness during filming and post production and genuinely have become a lot more interested in film because of them, this project, and AICE media itself! Thank you all :)
FINN: Wow, what a journey! I would feel very proud of myself if I were you, Emi.
EMI: aw shucks
Well Finn, I better start making my way to the airport! Flight to New York is in about 2 hours!
FINN: Oh, yes, right! I’ve been hearing around you have a big interview with Vanity Fair, best of luck on that!
EMI: Thanks Finn, loved the chat we had! See ya around!
FINN: Until next time!
EMI'S SUPER AWESOME CONCLUSION!
MAN!! WHAT A MEDIA FILLED DAY IT HAS BEEN BRO!!!!!! Woke up? MEDIA! Ate lunch? MEDIA! Ate dinner? MEDIA! About to go to bed? GRAAAAAHAHHHHH MEDIA!!!!!!! As busy as it was though, I'm genuinely really glad I got all of that done cuz PHEW!!! It was hella work man...and what's even more hella work is FILMING and EDITING!!!
This topic will be a lot more touched on in the following blog posts this week that are going to be all about CCR production!! YAYYYYYY!!! As for now, take a lovely photo and video of myself creating some lovely art for CCR 1!!!! :DDD
HELLLOOOOO!!!!! Welcome back super awesome blog readers :D! It is a very nice Saturday afternoon and I’ve had a pretty good day so far! Only one thing is bringing it down
My pure exhaustion!!! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪
I'm burnt out!! ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪
I have been HARD at work these past few days with these blog posts and hella CCR stuff, and being honest, I’m actually making some pretty nice progress! BUT!!! but I'm really scared guys. My sworn enemy, Overthinking Emi, has been invading my mind lately saying shit like “Emi dude bro how are you going to edit both of these videos in a matter of a singular week??? What if it takes too long???? What if your computer crashes?? What if your computer crashes and explodes?? WHAT IF YOUR
zoned out there whoops
But then Rational Emi came by and was all like “yeah okay but there shouldn’t be that much for you to edit, like sure yeah it’s going to take a while, maybe a couple long nights, but you’re not making a whole film, and definitely not implementing any super duper advanced editing skills as well. You'll be just fine.” And then, me, normal Emi, looked at both of these Emi’s and said “ AHHHHHHHHGHHGGGHHHGHG
Filming! Editing! Blogging!! The rest of my classes-ing!! Help!!!
BUT!! NO BACKING DOWN!! I DON’T DO THAT!! PERSEVERANCE!! DISCIPLINE!! WE WILL GET THIS DONE SUCCESSFULLY!!!
Alright!!! It’s now time for today’s super awesome topic: CCR QUESTION 3! TRES! INSERT THREE IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE!! We are now in a different territory, and that is the land of CCR video #2! So come on down and hear about my first draft ideas, challenges, and eventual enlightenment.
For the thumbnail!! Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
MY BANGS ARE WAY TOO LONG: OVERALL IDEA AND HALF OF THE SCRIPT! IDEA AND SCRIPT!! AND IDEA!! THE
Thinking about what I was going to do for the second CCR video actually almost drove me to near insanity. Ever since my teacher told us that we oughta make our CCR’S creative (like how it says in the name ✌︎('ω')✌︎) , Overthinking Emi has been haunting my brain!!! GAAHHH!! My idea for the second video was originally going to be a professional looking interview, buttttttt that’s been seen, like many times before, and we need creativity!! Big time!!
And so then I went on, thinkinggg and thinkingggg and thinkinggg and
AND THEN!!! I THOUGHT I GOT IT!!! This was my thought process:
So I didn’t finish typing this lolz BUT!! Here was what I intended to say before succumbing to the countless voices in my scatterbrain: What if the second video was a direct continuation from the first one and I basically did like a day in the life/picking an outfit for a big interview video?? For a second I was like, “yeah okay that seems fine” but then Overthinking Emi bursted in and yelled “ WAIT WAIT WAIT EMI BRO HELL NAH THIS IS A GRWM (get ready with me) DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT BRO WAI
Then I was like “ooooooo carpy ur kinda right GAH!! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??” All hope seemed to be lost, with one undeveloped idea after another coming by every few minutes, BUT THEY WEREN’T ENOUGH!! I needed something creative, something enticing, SOMETHING NEW!! And then something extraordinary happened…A MIRACLE!!!
I had just finished my lang homework and decided to go take a a shower; as I was showering, I stopped and stared outside the window for a considerable amount of time and just thought for a second (i think) (i don't do that often)….until suddenly a big lightbulb popped into my scatterbrain and said
“Emi….EMI OMG. Whenever you so possibly can, you enjoy going outside and witnessing the great outdoors, and you also really like plushies and stuff and and HOLY SHIT! YOU KNOW LIKE HOW SOME PEOPLE ONLINE WOULD GO OUTSIDE AND JUST SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THEIR VIEWERS??1?1? BRO BRO BRO BRO LISTEN TO THIS:
It is the day of the big interview with Vanity Fair, and super famous actress Emi is suited up and ready to go once it is time. Before her interview, she goes to a park and just sits down and talks to her viewers about how she feels and all that good stuff!! HERE’S THE CATCH!!! While she’s chatting away, a creature (one of my plushies) comes up to her and is all like “oh man! You’re the super famous actress from that recent western film!!!” And then super famous actress Emi can be all like “yep that's me!! What's your name little guy?” And then and then and then they talk for a bit and then the creature is all like “how did your production skills develop through this project” and “what hardware/technology/the other stuff did you use?” and then super famous actress Emi answers those questions and then YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
INSPIRATION!! THE GOAT IS BACK!!
(he wasn't being dead ass about deleting his channel btw dw guys)
After thinking this idea up, my perspective on life changed....my very eyes, including my third one, opened wide and clearly....I COULD SEE IT ALL!!! IT WAS ALL MINE!!! MINE FOR THE TAKING!!!! MWWAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA MWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH MAWWAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!
ask Isa (bestie westie for life) bro
I was on call with her while this happened, and let's just say that when I thought up this idea, I felt the exact joy Dr. Frankenstein felt when he created his monster.
live footage
Joyful, rejuvenated, anew, I was reborn into a happier, better version of myself....so much so that Overthinking Emi and Rational Emi stayed quiet. QUIET!!!! It was just me! It felt right!!!
BAHSBAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA THIS IS SO DUMB
Monkey business aside (guys we should use that phrase more often), I successfully came up with a decent idea and got some nice feedback from two loved ones when I told them! When I proposed my idea to Isa with total excitement and ebullience in my voice (that's an aice lang vocab word), she was all like "That's so hella, maybe I can help out" and then I was like "OHOOHOHO HELL YEAH!!! What would you like to help out with? :D" and then she said "lol idk anything really." With that in mind, I thought for a moment....hmmmmmm........OH!!!! THE CREATURE NEEDS A VOICE!!! WHAT IF ISA VOICE ACTS AS THE CREATURE?? Isa then agreed to do so, and with that, until further notice, I have a supporting role in my second CCR! Isa as the creature!!!! YAYY!!! Thanks dude :D
When I told my brother about my idea, he responded with "Dude, I'm surprised you came up with this idea while sober" and I was like "BAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHIAHHA yeah" WHO AM I.
He also suggested that I could use the current song we were listening to in my video, and I was like "wait but copyright" and then he was all like "Emi, this is like the oldest song in the world tf you mean copyright"
he was deadass
If you're asking why we were listening to this, it's because my brother put on a super duper mixed genre playlist that was actually all over the place. I'm not kidding when I say that we went from rap to Mongolian throat singing in a matter of 2 minutes.
Hurrian Hymn no.6 perfectly matched my beautiful explanation of my idea, and so you know what brother? Maybe I will use it!!! It is quite literally an ancient song and the artist is kinda like long gone, SO WE WILL SEE!! Thanks buddy.
So far for this second CCR video, I'm planning on filming outside in my backyard, with a fancy suit or fancy anything on because the super famous actress version of myself is about to be going into an interview with Vanity Fair. The creature will most likely be a bunny or some other woodland creature, but most likely a bunny BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP PICTURING A BUNNY!!!! But that could change :D We will see :D
SO YEAH!!! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, which is hella, BUT I STILL GOT MORE WEIGHTS!! Writing the script, filming, and editing is up next for this video! Overthinking Emi is scared, Rational Emi is indifferent, but I myself know that everything will turn out okay! WE GOT THIS!!
With all of the idea proposed and said, I will now share the script for the first half of the video right down below! :D YAY!!
THE (HALF) SCRIPT!!
EMI sits down on her desk, chair facing the camera like CCR 1.
EMI: Well my friends….the time has come. I’m excited to say that today is finally the day of the interview! WOOHOO!! The outfit goes crazy right?

Thank you all :)
EMI'S SUPER AWESOME CONCLUSION!
YAYYYY!! 3/4 BLOGS DONE FOR THIS WEEK!! As I continue on completing more and more things with this CCR business, I feel genuinely so much more relieved and better bro, I love u blogger.
Anyway, I've had a pretty packed and hella day!! HERE'S SOME EVENTS!!
At around 12 pm, my brother wanted to head out to Tate's (comic + video game + video store) to search for the new Sonic IDW volume that supposedly just came out! YAY! I LOVE COMICS AND I WANTED VOLUME 2 OF TMNT IDW COMICS!! WIN-WIN!! So I of course tagged along with him :D!! On the car ride there, I told him all about my super awesome 2nd CCR idea and got what I think was good feedback that I told you about up there^^^! Once we arrived to the store, I immediately ran to the TMNT section like a totally normal and sane person would and searched for the 2nd IDW volume and I FOUND IT!!! HERE LOOK!!
NEW TMNT ITEM TO MY COLLECTION LETS GOOOOOO
My brother unfortunately did not find Sonic IDW volume 5 but we still had a super awesome time looking through the store and stuff! I felt like I truly belonged there guys, I loved being in the same place with fellow weirdos.
After Tate's, we went to an anime store to see if they had any video game stuff and for the gits and shiggles. It was baller! There was a plethora of plushies, figures, posters, keychains, pins, YOU NAME IT! We didn't buy anything though because none of it piqued our interest all that much due to the fact we are not all that into anime but more so video games. BALLER!
Also check out this insane song we listened to while on the way there:
After a lot more adventure at Barnes and Noble, we returned to our humble abode and chilled until it was time to go leave to have lunch with the fam!! We ate sushi and stuff it was really hecking good!!
With all that said, I must leave you all as I must begin working on the stuff needed for tomorrow's filming which include 2 drawings, some decorated boxes, and the letters!! HELL YEAH TIME FOR A LATE NIGHT WORKING SESH!!! I'll see you all later super awesome blog readers! Buenos whatever time it is for you!! :D
