I CAN FILM!!!!

So, My big news is, that I found out that the school is going to fund my lip dub!!!

(I found this out in about week 6)

CTV (Canterbury Television) are coming into Selwyn to do three 4 minute sections. The first one is going to be about the pre-school, the second one is directed at parents with Dr Bird talking and the last one, they have decided, will be my lip dub.

Here is what I've been doing to prepare:

On Tuesday in week 8, I did a lot of work, modifying the plan and creating slips of paper for each teacher, saying where their class is going. Here is a brief rundown of how each class is split...




On Wednesday in week 8, the marketing team came to my house and I showed them my mock up, plan and the slips for the teachers. I have found out that I will be filming on Tuesday the 5th of August. We start school on the 22nd of July so I will film in week 3. I have also been told that I can go to the editing suite at CTV to see how they edit and hopefully help them edit the lip dub. They will also give me the edited lip dub so that I can show it to you on my blog and the school can use it for marketing.

I told them that I had acquired permission to use the song and I showed my progress through this blog. Now that I have permission to use the song, I can put my mock-up lip dub on the blog.

(Please excuse the bad sound quality and lighting issues.)

Tonight, I will present to the whole staff at the staff meeting after school. I will hand out the slips and also will show them a short clip of the StAC lipdub. Tomorrow, I will post what happened and how it went.

Another Lip Dub

On the 15 of June, Señora Ryan e-mailed me another lip dub. This was her old High School:


The part of this lip dub that I noticed was the great energy that the people in the background had. They were very enthusiastic, the kind of thing that I would like in my lip dub.

Earlier on in the term, I had another Mentor Meeting, I showed my plan, mock-up and proposal and also where I was up to with getting rights for the song.

I also didn't get a reply when I e-mailed the person who created the StAC lip dub so I got my Mum to give the me the contact for the Media teacher at StAC and I hope to contact him soon.

AHHHHHHHHH (Song Permission)

Earlier I tried to contact Jamie McDell's MGMT who I found via Twitter. He directed me to Jamie McDell so . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I got Dad to have a conversation with Jamie McDell on Facebook:

I'm SOOOOOO excited.

One Step Closer

Today, Apra|Amcos replied to my e-mail. They said:

I will need to contact Jamie McDell to get the rights to her song. She also went to a Girls' School which I think will help.

If I can find out if I can have the rights to the song this weekend, then it will hopefully mean that I have even more chance of our principal giving me funding :)

Apra|Amcos - Music Rights

Today, I found out that I have a meeting with our principal to propose the lip dub on Monday! Mum and me are finalising the route and drawing a storyboard in the weekend. This is very exciting and it's really cool to see all of it coming together. I need to put together a good proposal with all the costs and how it will look so that I have a better chance of getting funding. I have started a presentation demonstrating the mock up, the costs and the storyboard.

I also had a mentor meeting today with Señora Ryan. I showed her my mock up, explaining that it would be slightly different in the real thing. She said that after the final scene, it would be quite good to have the school logo come up and fly in.

Another exciting progression is that I have found out how to acquire the rights for Life in Sunshine in three easy steps.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

I have sent an email to Apra|Amcos asking about how to acquire rights for a song. I hope to get a message back soon.
