WEEKEND TIME!! WEEKEND TIME!!! CCR CENTRAL: QUESTION #3! YOUR HOST: A HEALTHIER AND LOW KEY BURNT OUT EMI!

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?

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…how did your production skills develop throughout the production of the film?

EMI: 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 :)

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
