Group Blog

 Now that I am done with my commercial, I have to start working on my music video! For my group, I decided to work with Lilly Gonzalez, Samantha Burton, and Isaac Gafanovich. I have known Lilly since we were 5 since we go to the same church. She has been my best friend for a while now, so working with her was an obvious choice. I met Samantha (Sammie) at a theatre camp when we were 7. We had forgotten about each other until we re-met in middle school. Recently, we have been becoming better friends because we are both very musically inclined, so we decided to start a band called Hazel's Dead. Sammie is also one of Lilly's close friends. Us three being friends, of course we had to work with each other. Last year, Sammie and Lilly were in the same AICE Global Perspectives class as Isaac, which is where they had met him. He sat with us on the first day of school this year, and that is where I met him. Since we have all been sitting with each other since the beginning of the school year, we obviously all had to work together. It's perfect how there is four of us!

For our song, we agreed to do Say It Ain't So by Weezer. When this music video was first assigned, we spent all class looking for the perfect song we could do. We were thinking of any four person band that we could possibly replicate. Many ideas were thrown around, including ABBA, Queen, and The Beatles. But eventually, we agreed on Weezer. One of Weezer's albums, nicknamed 'Blue Album,' is very recognizable. We believed that if we dressed up as each of the band members, we would be easily perceptible. We are so excited to begin working on this project. It's going to be so much fun!
