I decided to do my 5x5 video about old friends meeting up and hanging out. I thought this idea would be fun and let me make something short and sweet. The song I chose is call 'Distance' and the artist it was created by is called Jade Rabbits. I chose this song because it talks about how hard it is to be away from someone you love.
Script: Scene 1: Everyone walks down train tracks (darker filter to make it seem more calm) Scene 2: Everyone talking and laughing (sunset in the background) Scene 3: Friends playing around and trying to cooperate Scene 4: Friends play fighting Scene 5: Group hug

Choice Video Project
I wanted to make a video based off the poem ‘O Captain! My Captain’, which was originally written by Walt Whitman. I chose this poem because I learned about it from my favorite movie Dead Poets Society. In my video, I pay homage to the film in the scene where I’m stepping onto the table. This, in the movie, represents “taking a stand” and not allowing others to hold you down.
Passion Project
I decided to showcase the band I play with in order to show that anyone can play music, no matter what age. We all want to represent the fact that even though we mess around with music and write funny lyrics that we should be taken seriously by other writers. We may not be famous but we still have the true heart and soul of a band.
