So You Think You Know Scheherezade?

Fandom: Scheherezade, Tell Me a Story
Song: Score from Scheherezade, Tell Me a Story
Poem: "So You Think You Know Scheherezade"? by Mohja Kahf

Description:
For a school project Best watched on a small screen due to low video quality. Setting the video to HD will improve the quality of the text but not much can be done for the imagery.

I debated putting this on this blog, but it's still active on my channel, so let's give it a shoutout!

Yes, that's my voice!

I made this for a school project in a class about Middle Eastern Women's Literature. Our final project was allowed to be a "creative project" - anything of our heart's desire. It is the first an only time I have been able to use a school project as an excuse to make a vid.

So I came up with the whole idea of matching the poem we had studied at the beginning of class, to the film we studied on the same subject, and particularly matching moments in the film to the words of the poem! The musical score just serves as background. My teacher told me it was one of her top 3 favorite projects.

I remember being highly embarrassed showing this to the class, and as soon as the video ended, on autoplay it started my Ron/Hermione video I had just made prior hahahaha whooops.

Evanna & Keo - DWTS Tribute - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

November, 2018 Fandom: Dancing With the Stars s27 Pairing: Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe Song: I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston Description: Team Kevanna!!! So happy they made it to the finals! They may have gotten third place, but their are the winners in my heart. They got to dance every single dance and for that I am so grateful. I've never seen this show before. I watched for Evanna and thought I would stop once she got eliminated (which never happened!) Evanna Lynch has made me want to dance again. I literally have these dances memorized by now. I've seen them so many times. I included clips from all of their scored dances, as well as their behind-the-scenes introduction video, and their intro on opening night. This video is an oddball because it's a very, very specific fandom... I wouldn't even call it a fandom, I'm just a fan all here by myself. Vidding reality TV is probably not even a thing. But I was SOO obsessed with Evanna Lynch

Remus Lupin - The Wolves

July, 2014 Fandom: Harry Potter Character: Remus Lupin Song: The Wolves (Act I and II) by Bon Iver Description: "With the wild wolves around you/In the morning I'll call you/Send it farther on." Dedicated to Remus Lupin. Also shows his relationships with Harry Potter and Nymphadora Tonks. I wish he had more screen time. I would've done this video much differently if the baby storyline was actually left in. But this is the best I could do! Remus Lupin is definitely one of the most fantastic Harry Potter characters of all time - one that evokes a mixture of reverence and admiration, yet also extreme pity. I have to give a shoutout not only to David Thewlis's performance, but Broad Strokes' Productions INCREDIBLE "Great Wizarding War" audio series, in which Remus Lupin is voiced by Paul Stanko. I had a separate video idea in my head for how I would have made this video if the books were filmed in their entirety, but alas, this is the adapted ver

December, 2015 Fandom: Skins Characters: Freddie McClair and Effy Stonem Compilation of Kissing Scenes Description Skins is a UK TV show. Basically a compilation of every kissing scene of theirs that I knew. If I forgot one someone let me know and I'll fix it. What... what kind of mood was I in this December?? I posted like three compilation videos in a row... was I just so burnt out that I didn't want to make any actual videos?? This took no effort. People love it though, because they love Freffy. I get it, I do too. These are like basic fan service.
