44. final project!

44. final project! I wanna thank the academy, I wanna thank my mom, my dad, my bed…   No, but seriously, it’s been a long road to get here, so I’m excited that the final project is here! We had some hiccups along the way and she was a very stressful delivery, but we are here nonetheless. There’s not much to say here, but I will add in a couple of disclaimers and extra things. So don’t worry, you’re not missing anything too important (I know you just wanna watch the video, not read me talk endlessly like always)   DISCLAIMER: For educational use only!   The song at the beginning of the opening was done by me! I wrote the lyrics, sang it (…let’s not talk about that lol) and added in the sound effects (credits to my friend for the laugh, sorry for making you record it 20 times) I went more into detail here, in case you want to know the credits for the beat and one of the sound effects.   That’s pretty much it, so I hope you enjoyed this little journey with me. I certain...

43. dedicated to

43. dedicated to...   I’m warning you In advance, have tissues ready for this one.   I like to keep things silly and goofy on my blog, I’m a fairly light person personality-wise so It feels right to write like that. But I wanted to use this last post to dedicate It to someone really Important to me.   Earlier In barbie dream house films history, I Introduced you to my best friend and the light of my life, my dog Leia. you may remember her, you know, cool dog with glasses? yeah. that’s her. well, on november 14, leia passed away. we had to end our time with her much, much earlier than we would’ve liked, due to some complications with her liver health. throughout It all, leia had been my biggest Inspiration. I know I barely talked about her here, but she really was helping me backstage every step of the way. she sat with me whenever I would force myself to sit down and write up a blog, she comforted me whenever I got frustrated about an Issue, and she was my own lit...

42. the song

Image
42. the song (grammy-winner era) im working late... CAUSE IM A SINGERRRRR now, one might think that maybe, just maybe, making a new song just because you didn’t vibe with any of the copyright-free ones Is a little excessive. and maybe It Is. I wouldn’t know, I did It anyway. yes guys, Im an artiste now, go ahead and clap. yeah, I know. so cool. but seriously, this was so much work, and was It worth It? you’ll have to tell me. as I was In charge of the music for the film, I obviously had to find some tunes cool enough for the kids, yet serious enough for the tone of the movie. and, when I look at gigi, I picture teen girl sensation. think brat summer, ariana grande during her golden era. and none of the copyright-free songs were giving that for me. so, as one does, I found a beat on youtube and wrote my own. unfortunately for all of you I’m not the best or singers, so what you’re about to see Is what you will get. ….💩 lower your expectations, you have been warned.

41. gigi’s spotify wrapped (in my humble opinion)

Image
  41. gigi's spotify wrapped no, i will not be sharing mine, thank you very much. all you need to know is justin bieber was embarrassingly high on my top artists 2024. maybe that's my fault for having a playlist of just his songs. but, anyway! since we're leading up to the final project, i thought it would be fun to do something a little different and share the spotify playlist i used when thinking about gigi or writing about her. im hoping this will give you guys some insight on who i picture gigi to be as a character, and how she would have behaved or evolved through the entire movie! the songs aren't in any particular order, so feel free to just listen as a regular playlist and have fun. i really wanted it to just feel like a mesh of what gigi probably has on her own playlists (she's most likely an apple music listener, though....) anyways, enjoy!

40. my trip to Mexico and how I became a capcut wizard

 40. my trip to mexico and how i became a capcut wizard okay, so I MAYYY have click-baited you a little. Doesn’t every successful micro-internet celebrity at some point? (I have 2 views on my last blog post.)   but the Mexico part is true! Now, if you’re some kind of weird, talented hacker who has been tracking my location based on my blog posts, you may be wondering what the heck was up with the period of time when I was posting from Mexico. Well, creepy friend of mine, I went back home for a week to celebrate my cousin’s graduation from her career! In Mexico, we study specifically for our career, for 4 years, instead of the multiple degrees we have here in the states. And when you graduate from your career, you get a prom! The only one you’ll ever have, lol. You can invite family, too, so that’s how I ended up over there.   And I know you’re probably thinking “how does this relate to becoming a wizard for a video-editing app?” so I won’t bore you much longer with the te...

39. inspiration 3

  39. my inspiration (3) they could never make me hate you ever after high... mattel i will never forgive you for canceling them. if you don't know who these lovely ladies are, take a moment and step back... think about what you've done, and then go to time out in the corner. it should be a crime to not know them. but i'll let it slide this time, and educate you. these are my ladies. briar, apple, raven, and maddie. they're from a little franchise called ever after high, which is actually connected to the monster high universe. i know, crazy. however, ever after high is the story of the sons and daughters of fairytale characters. now, you might also be wondering what exactly that has to do with the film opening we created. well, i would say that ever after high really inspired me in the vibes. obviously, our movie isn't about a fairytale or anything, but there's that kind of girly feel to it. specifically, the ending was sort of inspired by EAH. the series has a...
