HELP!!
My passion is making movies. I grab my video camera and go out and video tape anything and everything, from my friends offroading to nature shots of Hawaii. The video camera is a way to show others my world and opinions.
Just recently I had the opportunity to mix two of my favorite things, music and videotaping. I videotaped “Saosin” and “Story of the Year.” Both are bands that are on the verge of making it big. The experience was amazing. I was standing right by the edge of the stage, and as I was looking through the viewfinder, all I could think about was the possibility that my video could someday be viewed by hundreds and maybe even thousands of people. I wasn’t on stage performing, but for those few minutes I felt like I was. Whenever I look back and watch the videos I have made I get the same feeling that I had while taping. By making movies of these bands I hope to show the positive side of music and the music scene and can take away some of the stereotypical ideas that people have of the “rock n’ roll” band, such as drugs, violence and sex. I can show people that going to a concert is a great way to meet people, have a good time, and use up excess energy. It is the perfect and safer way of escaping as opposed to going to a party or bar where alcohol and drugs are in abundance. By staying away from situations where alcohol and drugs are present, keeping away from drugs and alcohol becomes easier.
This is important to me because throughout my whole life I have thought that drinking and drugs are not something in which I wish to partake and I can proudly say that I do not drink, smoke, or do drugs of any kind. Staying away from drugs and alcohol is a difficult thing for teens these days, but I manage to do so because I stick to what I believe in. By staying drug free I have been able to reach many of my goals which I would not be able to reach otherwise. My grades would suffer and my joy for life would not be as intense. The music scene and videotaping are my ways of escaping the everyday trials and tribulations. I do not need any substances other than a good band to get the ultimate high. When listening to the band I can feel the stress and anxiety flow from my body. Everything is left behind; the only thing I can think of or even care about is the guitar, drums and singing. I do more than hear the music; I feel it rush through my body like a jolt of adrenaline. It’s a feeling which is indescribable. I know many others feel the same way I do and I can show this feeling through my videos.
Music is my inspiration: videotaping is my passion. I am constantly listening to music and I feel that by videotaping and showing the good side of music I can help bands become more popular and I can show others that drugs and alcohol is not the answer.
so i need to add about60 words... anything i should fix?.. tear this thing apart!
