skate video update

I can't do my skate video because my parents won't let me take a camera to the skate park. So instead, I am going to work with Taylor making an airsoft video based on WWII. We'll either do taylor's script or I'll make my own script that we will use. Anyway, I will probly make my script based on the battle of Iwo Jima. It'll be great being on the beach, climbing up a huge hill to get to the Japanese, and even make a flag to put on the top of the hill that we concord. It is going to be a sweet movie, with lots of action. and the best part is to make the Japanese look Japanese is we are going to tape our eyes back.

Basketball Game Against Darrington

On Monday 2/25, we had another basketball game. This time it was against Darrington. The 7th grade went first, but because darrington didn't have a JV team both 8th and 7th only played varsity. 7th grade won by about ten points. I think the score was 35-22. Then came the 8th grade varsity game. Darrington only had one sub, while on th other hand we had eight or nine. so throughout the game we were subing five guys at a time, so that everyone got to play. I came in my first time during the scond quarter. the guy I was guarding was a very short skinny kid, his number was two. While playing he kept on screening the ballhandler guard, which was Daniel. So I thought, is there a legal way I can keep him from screening, because when he did screen, our team was suposed to double team the ballhandler, but no one did. so what I did was put my back to number two and then blocked him from going and screening, which waas totally legal. I never scored that game, I only shot the ball twice. But the highlight for me was getting five fouls called on me and making me sit on out the last 30 seconds of the game. we won 55-17, cougars win.

8th grade project

Right now I'm working on this huge project. It's the 8th grade project. So far I am tring to find a website that will download videos from youtube, because vixy.net will not work on my computer ant home. I found one website called youtube download videos. It seems to work but it downloads the video as a flash video. Now, it may not work on a mac, but Mr. Snelling said that he would to download a flash player such as RealPlayer. I haven't really started my poster yet because I'm not quite sure how im going to make it. I was thinking that I will work on making a timeline and have little lines coming out indecating what band played at what time, and have infomation next to a picture of that band.

Video Ideas

"Mr. B" is having us make a video in American studies class. The video was supposed to be a scifi short film, but "B" changed his mind and said that we could do the video on anything we want. I have two great ideas for my short film. One I was thinking I would work with Taylor to make an air soft war video based on a battle during WWII. I was thinking about Iwa Jima because we have lots of beach and Taylor has a big hill we can climb up to attack the Japanese. My other idea was to make a skate video. I could just go to the skate park and film a bunch of guys, including myself, skating and then make a story plot. I was thinking that my story plot would be like this, "In a land where skateboarders and BMX bikers only get along at the skate park. there was a rollerblader who would show peace the skaters and bikers." And then it will just take off from there. I kind of want to do a skate video more than the air soft video because one, Taylor on my last project I did with him I did most of the work. And also I've just started skating again and I didn't realized how good I am at it.
