Production; The Finale

Welcome back Gems.

Today's blog is bittersweet, why you may ask. This is my last blog. Well at least for the production of this commercial. Did you honestly think I would leave y'all? Well I like shiny things, so Gems we will shine together for a long while. Let's get into the final episode of A Glimpse in My Chaotic Mind.

Easy they come and easy they go would perhaps describe my experience after all the kinks were worked out. But that's not what you're here for today. No you want the icing on the cake. So after the first time using the editing software, preparing my media and song we land here. First I like to say it was all me in my head, but welcome awkward stage between draft and complete. How I took basic and made it elevated, well as elevated as a beginner can be. Transitions and effects were added to each piece of media. And I can not tell you how tedious clicking and dragging can be. I won't go on about the a thousands cuts I've made. I mean you've read about that already in my previous blogs.

But after the main content was done I added a title/credit slide with picture descriptions and song credit. But of course I added my own little spin on it. Y'all know I'm overdramatic and true. Shortest blog to avoid spoilers because the commercial is come soon so stay tuned.

Anyways Gems, meet me in the afterglow.

Sincerely,

Makenna Jewels<3

P.S. Thank you Spotify for keeping my spirits up.

Production: Filming; The Man in the Mirror (maze)

Hey Gems. Welcome back as promised here is the blog were I felt everything went wrong. But we'll get into that. This blog is not A Glimpse in my Chaotic Mind, because I wouldn't have done that, rather a look into someone else's mind. Let's just get into this. First how do you work at a fair and have the most unapproachable attitude I have ever seen in my whole 16 years of living. Like if you don't like people don't work at fair. Like hello. So as y’all know the mirror maze was a major part of our film. Yes I’m using past tense because that dream came crashing down real quick. So. we mostly filmed in order of the scenes. We beforehand asked each ride or game attendee can we film. When we asked Mr. Attitude’s response was “no, how many?” Then when we were trying to explain the situation to him he just scanned the game-card and told us to go in. However we were what for it to clear so we could get a good take. He doesn’t care at all. Now that we had captured the ...

Intro blog; All about me

Welcome Gems to the story of my life. My name is Makenna Jewels Ricks born on December 20th 2007 making me a Sagittarius. I grew up with my two younger sisters and two older brothers. And my favorite color is pink. Now that the introduction is out of the way let's get into it. From a very young age I have always loved to read, a trait I still posses. The feel of paper in my hands is an unbeatable feeling. It has always been amazing how some can create such a complex world with only ink, paper and their imagination. Emotional transportation to anywhere or any time I like. The Book Thief, Six of Crows and Legendborn really created this transportation for me. Baking is a passion of mine. It's like sharing in the art of creation, with sugar, spice and all that. My favorite personal recipe has to be my mini apple pies, that's all I can say about them (trademark pending). But y'know what beats baking desserts? Eating desserts, chocolate chip cookies, cake with but...

Production; Wrapped in black

Hey Gems. I hope you enjoyed my rant about about motorcycles last blog. Today's blog is going to be less aggressive. Yes, I know the title is deceiving. But what do you expect when this is a glimpse into my chaotic mind. However today is all about my costume. Let's get into this. My character Amanda (spoiler) is the stalker so we decided all black would be the best option. A hoodie was also included in the outfit as to make to reveal more dramatic. Shall we break this outfit down like they do on the red carpet. A black hoodie that was slightly oversized to have a hood that would cover my face. The face covering that was actually a black scarf which was used instead of a face mask. And I think the worst decision made on my part, black boots with an wedge. Don't get me wrong I love my boots but as a stalker running around a fair, a pair of Converses would have been a relief. The hoodie and boots were paired with dark blue jeans. Side note the nails ...
