This time, I'm taking on the challenge of actually directing and producing a music video for my song 'Thinking of You!' I love the process of being able to put my visions to my songs. There's just something magical about music and film together! This music video is expected to be released in late August. I'm excited! :)

]]><![CDATA[2 new videos!!]]>Sun, 18 Mar 2012 00:14:07 -0800http://sparklenesby.com/1/post/2012/03/2-new-videos.htmlSlowly but surely I'm learning how to video edit so I can produce great quality videos for you all to watch. I am always open to feedback and suggestions because I'm willing to learn how to make my videos better!

With that being said, I created 2 short videos over the past 2 months and now it's time to share! YES!
The first video I'll share is my latest skit about what it would be like to audition for a musician's manager. This is an interpretation on how I would think that would go. Enjoy!
The second video I'll share is a short mystery I made called, "Solved." This was my first time using my new camera to video record indoors. It was definitely a learning experience. The main storyline here is: Kat wakes up to find her sheet music destroyed and wants to find out who did it!
]]><![CDATA[New music!...Movie music]]>Sat, 17 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0800http://sparklenesby.com/1/post/2012/03/new-musicmovie-music.htmlThis is a R&B song I wrote without a main instrument. I wanted to challenge myself because I'm used to creating a main melody instrument in my songs first be it saxophone, piano or vocals. I basically wanted to imitate the process of being a beats producer like Timbaland. I wanted to make an instrumental perfect for any vocalist to add their own voice and style to it. And if you like any of the music below, please leave a comment and let me know. :)

The last few months I've been writing more music for film. You may have heard me talk about writing music for a romantic comedy called "Bizarre Love Triangle." Listed below are the 2 themes I wrote for that short film.I hope you will enjoy listening to my romantic music!
I love watching mysteries so I decided to write some music that would be perfect for mysteries and suspenseful films. Listed below are 2 variations of a theme I wrote for a mystery. Enjoy!

Eager to try something new and help out, I said yes. Instead of being an extra, I ended up becoming the actress for the film! haha! My job was to act like a terrible actress. Interesting right? Here is the video below. Did I act out my part well? :-)
