R. A. you are a thief
Favorite Song Of The Moment
‘Little
Talks’ by ‘Of Monsters and Men’ from their album ‘My Head Is An Animal.’ A
fantastically sung duet by the two lead singers (whose names I’m not even going
to try and type, let alone say.) The instrumentation is also fantastic, being
upbeat and lively and really full sounding. Andrew, maybe you can elaborate,
but I tend to notice if music doesn’t really sound full enough, and it kinda
distracts me.
R. A., you are a thief because you stole my
favorite song of the moment, and you stole two thirds of my favorite kind of
weather.
Theme of the week
My favorite kind weather is when it’s hot. Not
blistering, or mirage causing, but just when there is not a trace of cold
lingering around. When the sun is hot, and the wind is hot, and the pools and
oceans are warm, and all you need is shorts and t-shirt and you’re set. The sky
is blue, and it is bright and sunny, and all the colors are vibrant. It’s the
kind of thing I try to get into films, the feeling of something, more than the
look. Although if it looks great, it certainly helps.
PRESENT TIME!
Andrew, something just occurred to me. You compose, record and mix music, which means you must know singers. Your songs are currently sitting on private mode so that only R. A. and I (and you) can hear them, but you could probably just get the singers to sing a rough version, and stick that over the song, then we can put them on public mode and see the listeners flock in. How does that sound?

R. A., all I can suggest is that you don’t
pressure yourself. When I’m trying to get creative writing done, and I’m
forcing myself, nothing good ever comes of it. Just relax, do other things, and
then when inspiration strikes, be ready.
What have I been up to lately you may ask?
Well, I normally have a social life as
bustling and busy as a glacier, but lately me my UNI crew (they hate when I
refer to us by any group name) have been running all over, filming out major
projects. Not only does this take up the entire of most days, and sometimes the
entire of nights, but there is also the after time. Filming is stressful, and
the amount of euphoria you feel when you finish is inversely proportional to
the stress. So we have gotten into the habit of making ourselves as stressed
and as frantically rushed as possible, and then celebrating when we finish.
In the last three weeks, we have gone out
drinking not fewer than seven times, and I have only been in my UNI dorm like
half of those nights. It has been amazing and fun and exciting, and stressful,
and is everything I love about filmmaking. Frantic deadlines, limited chance of
quality end result, and getting incredibly close with the people you are
working with.
Overall, it’s been quite fun.
Andrew, till tomorrow.
Daniel Lyons.
