before folio presentation

i'm am even more freaking out today, right now!

folio is done and dusted (by means of finalization) and i'm just waiting for my turn!

i'm just really worried about my little slideshow movie not working or if there's a glitch in my photos or something!!!

i am now listening to another presentation and it's not making my feel any better about presenting

gah!!!!!

wish me luck!!!

night before presentation of folio

i'm am soooo freaking out right now!!!

tomorrow i'm presenting my final folio and well.......i'm stressing out about how i'm going to present it

i mean i do know that i'm going to use a slideshow on my laptop or on the uni computers but i don't know what i'm going to say, how i'm going to discuss my photos or anything like that

i'm also still selecting my last final images

as of right now i still have to remove about 10 to 15 photos to reach the aprox limit we've been given.

i'm so stressed out right now and the only way i can think of relieving myself from some of the stress is to type a very rough and possibly dodgey blog post about how stressed out i am which you are reading right now!

(boy that was a long sentence!!! :P)

anyways

back to finalizing my folio

i most likely will post a blog tomorrow just before i present and after but if i don't it's been an awesome 12 weeks and i would like to thank you for following my journey through my course via either this blog or my flickr

wish me luck for tomorrow!!!!!

happy snapping fellow photographers!!!!!

images relating to last post

the cast from the movie playing members of the band:

dakota:

dakota and kirsten and cherrie and joan:

and this is the image i directly referred to in my last post:

(i know it's small but it's the best i could do)

i haven't seen the movie but what i have seen from trailers, Cherrie constantly changes her on stage appearance depending on her mood and the performance.

this directly relates to my work by means of having to change your outward appearance for the stage because your afraid of being seen as yourself or as an average person and not some quirky, interesting, strange, pathetic (and so forth) type person!

see the trailers is here:

new inspiration - The Runaways 'Cherry Bomb'.

i'm currently going through my folio or all of my images and i decided to take a break in my mind right now by listening to music on my iPod.

as i am typing this i'm listening to the move version of the song called Cherry Bomb originally recorded by a female rock bank called The Runaways.

i'm in love with this song right now and i can't wait for the movie title The Runaways to come out in june/july i believe starring Kirsten Stewart and Dakota Fanning.

anyways back on topic!!!!

i'm listening to the movie version sung by Dakota (who plays Cherrie Currie in the movie) and it got me thinking about their look and appearance.

i have to be honest, i've never heard of the original band from the 60's but i'm definitely a fan of their music now. they also had a very distinct person style too.

what i have seen of movie trailers and videos on YouTube of the band and from the actors talking about playing these historical figures, they definitely had a strong present on stage.

mainly their style fitted in to the time but it also stood out and made a statement.

as i'm listening to the song, an image of Dakota (playing Cherrie) painting a large red lightning bolt across her face pops into my head.

i think i may have to put some image of the band The Runaways style and look on here as inspiration

that's it from me!

rock on always from the theatre stage!!!

photos on my blogger account

enjoy!
