Christmas is just around the corner and the participants are all looking forward to holidays trips interstate and videoing their new years. There are flip cameras in Ringwood, Werribee and Thailand which will hopefully yield cool and funny material, as well as insightful and beautiful moments.
The girls from Ringwood have specifically asked for the HD camcorder to they can film their Christmas events and the final of their volleyball game. They still want to make songs and create a CD. It seems their expectations of doing a cd with 12 songs has been scaled back to making a ‘ep’ instead with 4-6 songs. There is a little disappointment around the cd.
One factor is our (the committee and myself) hesitation of having the project turn into a cd/music production project and the other is their own realistic expectations of what they can coordinate themselves. They have agreed to post work in progress songs on line. I think that will help build momentum and garner some communication online with other people interested in music.
I’ve encouraged them to create as many songs collaboratively with people overseas as possible, in the aim of fostering internet communication which can focus on how the songs are reflective of their own lives and be comparative to other people overseas.
