Albeit not a real musician, this is technically my first stab at putting together a music video. I've been talking to Jim, a friend and local musician, for some time about doing a video for one of his real songs, but when he played me this and the ideas started flowing, we decided we'd use this as a sort of practice video.
It was fun just to shoot it, but I'd have to say I was most happy at finally having an excuse to use those slide, wipe, and iris transitions that are so wonderfully cheesy.
In an awful limbo-mode this month both job and living situation-wise. Waiting for paper work to get processed for my job transfer is taking longer than I thought and trying to find an apartment that is affordable/in a good area/not ugly is harder than I expected it to be too.
Having apartment viewings today at 2pm, 4:30pm, 6pm, and 7pm, I had lots of free time to explore the city in between viewings. Above is the often photographed/filmed-in old abandoned train depot on Michigan Ave. Click below for some more.
