Well now I have a different idea so I'm scrapping all of that. I think the main reason behind the switch would have to be my obsession with Pinterest. I got so caught up pinning tons of different dancers and song ideas that I felt lost in the project. I felt like I was just an editor and not a creator of a video, so I wanted to take the project in a more personal direction.
For myself that meant me dancing, even though I am extremely self-conscious and shy, and to make it even more challenging, it will be an acapella piece (like this one). Irish step Hard Shoe isn't my forte, as I have a lot of trouble getting a firm and steady set of taps and bangs. I think due to the loud nature of the filming, I will do it in Smiley, that way the residents of my dorm don't kill me. I could also play with the lighting more in Smiley, especially if I bring my own lamp and film in the night.
The most challenging part of the process for me will be layering since I have almost no experience using iMovie outside of my class. I want different dance steps to go with different elements and I think if I repeat and layer them, I could get a nice rhythm going. One of the biggest inspirations for me at this stage is the first Irish step dance song I ever heard - Riverdance's "Reel Around the Sun":
