PLN at KIS

Okay so my title is a little weird and vague, confusing and stupid, and may even deserve some scratches in the head, but it does mean something. When people look at me they see something extraordinary, specie, and a short, handsome, funny, kid - and they would be idiots not to notice that. Right now, beyond the hype I am a walking disaster. Lately, being consumed in so many different things has detered me from devoting more time to making videos, which has made me do more thinking than actually doing.

So what I’ve been thinking about lately is where I want this video project to be headed. I definitely want to continue want to continue making videos even when the class is over in addition to maintaining my blog - I’ve gone somewhat accustomed to having it be a part of my everyday life (kind of). Something I’m thinking of doing is a couple of spontaneous videos - sometimes the most random piece of junk may be gold. The good thing about spontaneous videos is that it can be really funny, if not I could just delete the damn thing.

Another idea I’ve been thinking of doing is an interview with Mr. Burell. Like my role models Stephan Colbert, David Letterman, and Craig Ferguson (some role models eh?) I want to be really really really really rud but at the same time be somewhat respectful to my guest (impossible is nothing). I want to do this behind the green screen, so by the time I do this interview I have to find how to do the mysterious chroma key while also finding a suitable background. For Mr. Burell I want this to be unscripted, while I hold in my hands the mind - blowingly ridiculous questions. This has to be funny so I plan on adding some more sophisticated twists later, hehehehehehe.

I’ve also been thinking about what to do if I have international correspondents invading my show. I was thinking that since the presidential elections is so huge in the U.S at the moment I was thinking of having a CNN type of news cast with the correspondents somehow messing up. If that somehow does not go as planned I could always green screen as a replacement background.

So because I will continue to make more videos even when the class is over, these are some ideas I plan flirting with. Although not everything is set in stone, I want to do at least one of the two fore-mentioned wacky ideas before the last day of school. How? I have no friggin’ idea, but I will figure it out - I always do. Anyway, one thing I realized while embarking on this god forsaken project is that being funny is not as easy as it sounds. One reason my production has been so slow is because - yes, I am somewhat of a perfectionist but I also don’t want to upload some random crud on my youtube channel, because in the long run I value quality over quantity.

Given the topic of my project is probably very ambitious (maybe the most in the class, I don’t know you be the judge) I think in a way I am put too much burden on my shoulders. I’ve been trying too hard to be funny when I needed to do is sit back and talk my genius brain off (I think I’m a borderline genius by the way, I’ve come to that conclusion a loooooooooong time ago :). I want to make people happy because in the end, that’s what this project is all about. Not the grades, not the stress, but the people. I try not to forget that.
