Adorable?!

Guess what guys!
I'm making a video tonight!
Except it probably won't even get put on YouTube.
It's gonna be lame.
It was a cute concept at least.

Film gigs?!

My mom's realtor friend wants to hire me to film some neighborhoods for her.
My band director wants me to film for the spring semester of band.
I'm super excited!
People actually think I'm talented!!!!!!!
You have no idea how happy this makes me!

I haven't been working on my filming for the past few days because my dad took the laptop to Florida since it's *technically* his.
My studio lights should be coming in the mail somewhat soon.
And then the fun begins.
However, college starts next week.
So I have to see how much time I have.
But I'm wanting to start a new channel with a real YouTube name and actually roll out some videos on a regular basis.

I am very much looking forward to seeing what the future holds for me and Steve =]

We're rolling?!

My green screen is officially up.
But I'm still waiting for the lights to come in and it might take a couple weeks.
I have already made a video using it but the quality is not so good.
Don't worry, it should improve once I get my lights.
I'm going to be making some changes to this site as I get ready to release my new YouTube channel.
I'm gonna try to make some neat little intros to start out with.

Here you go:


I guess it's sorta misleading since I set up the black screen and use the green screen.
It was a last minute decision and I didn't think to film myself setting up the green one soo..oh well, deal with it.

Nicole is back?!

Heck yah she is!
Guys, I've been super busy!
I got my license and a job =D
And I also got...
A GREEN SCREEN!

I have the rest of the week off after tomorrow.
So be looking forward to some new productions!
My cousin is coming here on Tuesday to help me get my studio set up and then we're gonna do some filming!
Oh yah, did I mention that my studio is gonna be in my room?!
Well it is!
I'll have my bed and desk on one side, and my 10'x12' green screen on the opposite wall!

Good night guysss.
I'm off to go scope out some summer film camps!

Nicole is in college?!

I have to take night classes >.> grr
And on top of that I have band.
And with my college classes and newspaper and PALS and Spanish Club and Book Club and Student Council, I just don't have time for making videos.
Plus my dad is taking the laptop to San Francisco so I won't have all my programs with me.
I've been coming up with some neat little ideas for the future.
So I'll be on hiatus for awhile...that's the right term, right? o O
I'll try to post some videos that I think are worth watching from time to time though.
Follow me on here if you haven't already!
I love all of you!!!

I Don't Know?!

The song is I Don't Know by Erika.
I ran into it while listening to my techno station on Pandora radio.
As I listened to this song, I envisioned a girl walking around in a sort of LaLa Land as all these weird things around her are occurring and she doesn't know why.
I had never seen the actual music video, but I watched it yesterday and it's actually kind of along the lines of what I wanted to do with this song!
My brother and I were sitting in the living room, hyper and bored.
We wanted to make a video but didn't know what to do.
I played the song for him and told him my idea and he LOVED it!
We sat around brainstorming for about 20 minutes thinking of just random, bizarre things.
I had to leave to Meet the Teachers, which is where I got Amy to do her little cameo for the top friends thing.
After that, I went to Wal-Mart and got some random footage of me walking around.
The WoW character you'll see on the toy shelf is Whiterabbit.
The red bear doesn't symbolize anything this time, it's just the only stuffed animal I had that was the right size for what I wanted to do.
Yes, Zach is holding it around the corner, but I hope that's not too obvious when you watch it.
It was Matthew's idea to fish in the toilet.
We had to tie the fishing line to a tennis ball to hold it down.
The magazine Matthew is reading is Seventeen.
And he would like it to be noted that he does not actually read Seventeen.
The reason she sees Zach reading Twilight is because anyone that knows Zach knows that he would never in a million years read that book.
The room scene is a little weird to understand.
Pretty much she is seeing things that aren't really there.
The man costume in this one isn't as good because Nicole was stupid and didn't pull her hair back well enough and the shirt wasn't buttoned all the way.
Matthew was supposed to be the one wearing the kimono.
I got it on him and he was okay with it but then we went into the kitchen and my mom was in there and Matthew got embarrassed and started saying it was too weird.
So we got Zach to do it. But it wasn't as epic because we would all expect that sort of thing from him.
Yes, she is wearing different pants for the computer scene.
It was shot after everything else after I had already started editing and I really didn't wanna change back into jeans.
I think I intended to edit it so you couldn't tell, but I was putting this together at 3 in the morning so...yah...
Ryan's scene is the only one that doesn't loop, and it wasn't even filmed for the purpose of making this video.
It was just a random clip I captured on CamStudio a couple days ago.
I don't know how I managed to pull the journal scene off, but I feel I could have made it a little better.
As I'm running away, I was having to turn on house lights because I hadn't prepared for that shot.
While I was climbing up the ladder, I was giving Zach specific instructions that my butt was not to be in that shot, lol.
It was kind of difficult doing the film shoot for this because at the same time that I was acting, I was directing and queuing Matthew and telling Zach where to point the camera and when to zoom in and out.
But I would like to think that this came together somewhat nicely. I'm pretty proud of it.
The film is blurry ON PURPOSE!
It is supposed to be kinda dreamy.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
PLEASE tell me what you think!!
Your feedback helps!

Perfect Day?!

This video is a little mean. But I tried to not go over the top.
Things have been going good with me and my ex, so I am praying I don't screw it all up with this.
The stuffed animals you will see on the bed were all presents from him, with the exception of the gray lamb, but I got that while I was with him and he liked it a lot.
The bulletin board I tear off the wall was where I kept ticket stubs, receipts, etc. from him.
The blue tank top thingy was given to me by Ryan.
The pipecleaner heart is something I made for Ryan but have yet to send to him.
The I Love You heart pillow was originally connected to the red bear but I tore it off.
The red bear was given to me by my ex for Valentine's this year but I no longer associate it with him.
Instead I pretend it's Ryan while I'm on cam with him and I hug it and loves it lol
The lighting in my room was crappy but I didn't want to be filming in the bathroom the whole time.
This was my first time using CamStudio in my videos, I thought that was kinda neat.
I think this is also my first time to split screen.
The man costume makes an appearance in this one, with my face looking fat as ever.
Props to my mom for buying me that denim jacket =)
Tell me what you think!!!
