Progress on my video

Well, I got my video almost done, but then a little demon I call my sister logged on to my computer and didn't save my work. To put it in Lebowski terms, it feels like the goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain. So now all I have is about twenty minutes of raw video footage. That said, I suppose I can talk about what I'm going to do (again). My chosen repetitive action is the act of listening to music on my phone, and my video is an exploration of the different emotions that this action causes and inspires. I have created a playlist to accompany my video, and I attempted to craft it so that the songs would show a slow progression from one emotion to the next. The playlist is pretty awesome, so I'll be including some credits at the end of this preview post to tell you what each song is, so that anyone who has good taste in music can check them out if they want. Also, spoilers: you will get to see me dance (or more accurately, attempt to make movements in rhythm that sort of resemble dancing) like no one is watching in this video, as I am trying to make it as raw and real as possible (yes, I sometimes do the things depicted in this video in real life, don't try to front me like you don't). So I guess... you're welcome...? Jokes aside, my video will be called Mood Swings.

Here's the Mood Swings playlist for your listening pleasure (and/or displeasure), with titles, artists, and albums.
1. "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire, on Funeral
