Week 4 in RTA!! New Videos and neat stuff

Just finished week 4 of Radio and Television Arts at Ryerson ^_^
We get to write about anything this blog, so I have picked out a bunch of my favorite music videos that incorporate creative design techniques to share with you.

This is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE VIDEO OF ALL TIME:
'Corre Lola Corre' by Ojos de Brujo.  I binge listen this track about once every 3 months...it's that good in my opinion. The music video uses a multitude of neat design tools I do not yet understand.

I simply adore the story in this following music video.  This songs totally taps into the adopted Canadian in me...which is odd because 'Langhorne Slim' is from Pennsylvania...

I have been listening to Erykah Badu for years. Her last album was a prime example of the fusion of different elements and genres that come together to produce the perfect badu experience.
Her videos always have a lot of interesting aspects happening design wise, but I chose this one because I can't get over the album cover tributes in the video.

Frida Kahlo has been one of my greatest influences. I grew up surrounded by images of her work and her paintings became a permanent fixture in my mental backdrop. The following is a trailer for the 2002 movie that was based on her life. I love how they integrated the images of her paintings along with the cine scape of the trailer.

That brings us to a close in this weeks show and tell.

In other news, I am absolutely going insane with my poster assignment. I use to think that being a perfectionist was a win win. One would expect that most efforts executed by a perfectionist, would result in well thought out, efficiently planned projects.  I envision post it notes, highliters and a trajectory chart to achieve ideal results. However, it would seem I have seriously misled myself...Since I now sit with four different beginnings to four completely different posters.
Tune in next week to see which one makes the cut!


Music is where I am most at home. If you have been visiting my postings with my music in mind, keep coming back because October is shaping up to be quite an eventful month!
 'The Sugar Devils' and I, are going strong and steady with our weekly residency at The Silver Dollar Room. In fact, a 'little bird' in the club told me, that there has been expressed interest filming a documentary on our adventures in music and life.
 It sounds like it could be a lot of fun, and the best part is that I get to take YOU, with US!!
Strap on your running shoes- because you and I, will be running from classes on campus, to auditions, to rehearsals, to performances, recording sessions and back!
I will keep you posted with details as they develop :)

Thank you for reading!
