WOAH!! MY IDEAS ARE ACTUALLY COMING TO LIFE??? HOLY CRAP??? CCR CENTRAL: SUPER AWESOME PROD POST!!!!

 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!
