Our most recent independent video assignment was supposed to be about life in Silver Spring. I decided to partner up with sam,
since this particular assignment was not very independent. When we
first began to film, we didn't really know what we wanted to do with the
assignment, just that we wanted it to be shot in Downtown Silver
Spring. Then, out of nowhere, this happened. Enjoy.
Shot with a Fujifilm s400, edited in Premiere Pro. The music we used was Chacarron Macaroon by El Mundo. The video can be found here, in case of embedding trouble.

Hello Again
I listen to records (ironically, of course) because that's what all of the cool kids these days are doing. So you can imagine my excitement when my mom's friend let me take what I wanted from her old record collection.
The purpose of that shaky intro was to let you know that I have been listening to a lot of old school music lately, and I thought I would make a post sharing my favorites with you. This is the post.
1.
Chuck Berry (The Great 28)
Elvis was a lie. You want the real king of rock and roll, you need not look any further then Chuck Berry, one of the world's first rockers. He took blues and rhythm and turned them into an entirely new genre.
2.
Billy Ocean (Love Zone)
Billy Ocean is the undisputed king of R&B, at least in my book. His soulful vocals blend beautifully with the smooth, sometimes jazzy, sometimes experimental instrumentals.
3.
The Allman Brothers Band (Eat A Peach)
The Allman Brothers Band is a rock band with an emphasis on blues, a genre of which I am extremely fond. The long tracks will often consist of imrov that lasts several minutes and surprising complex solos based around a single chord. I must say, I am approve.
4.
Louis Armstrong (The Great Summit)
This is one of Louis Armstrong's latest albums, recorded in 1961 and released in 2001. But man, do I love Louis Armstrong. He and Duke Ellington have been favorites of mine since I started playing trumpet in 5th grade. I'm afraid if I try to get into the specifics of Armstrong and Ellington's styles I won't do them any justice, so I'll keep it at that.
