Attached below is the video of my rendition of a night club/venue in my bathroom. I apologize for the shakiness at the end of the video; I was unable to contain my excitement with my 7th grade sister jumping in my living room bathroom. Jumping around with 7th graders to classic bass drop EDM songs reminded me of the times when I’d attend Bar Mitzvah parties all the time in 7th grade and engage in this exact activity. I know my take on this side quest wasn’t as creative as some of the examples you’ll see, but I think the energy in my video is unparalleled. Energy, at least in my opinion, is the most important factor in a fun Friday night out.

Here is my video link:

So… since I live in someone else’s house for now, it is probably not polite for me to mess with their bathroom, but luckily I live with Ruohan who has the same task as me, so we decided to do it together! The titanic music inspiration is from a youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KolfEhV-KiA) which made us laugh so hard, and we were going to mimic the video, but I guess it’s actually hard to play badly on purpose, especially both of us are new to our instruments (Ruohan hasn’t played her flute for years). Then we thought because the music comes from an actual movie, it would be really cool to do a film concert. I would totally spend a night in a film concert: it’s probably one of my favorite forms of live performance. We learned the music (and instruments) in one night, and did the “performance”, which I thought was pretty amazing. Ruohan’s cousin’s acting dumb also add a good laughing point to the video. Also shout out to Ruohan’s mom who filmed the whole video!

I hope you enjoy it.

I do not know a real place for a night out, but I do sometimes “play” in my dream. We do I do not know a real place for a night out, but I do sometimes “play” in my dream. We do not know what we are trying to do while dreaming, but we still enjoy dreaming sometimes. What makes a dream interesting is that any strange thing can be seen as if it were happening in reality. Therefore, a dream can be a suitable place for a night out, and my goal was to make a video about it. I know that this video is probably incomprehensible and strange, like a dream, but you must have seen a similar dream before. The most strangest thing happens in this video is that the bear’s head changes into a horse’s head. I appreciate my mother, who came back from Texas two days ago, for taking the video.

Prior to watching the video, it’s important to qualify my decision to post this. Though I often blur the lines of what is acceptable in a classroom setting, I’m genuinely asking to please let me know if the content is inappropriate or upsets you as a viewer or teacher.

Despite being a stereotypical urban location in a large city, Oakland’s culture and nightlife is an acquired taste. Transitioning from “the Town’s” sideshows to a prominence of greek life, I’ve experienced a significant adjustment period. Often, as I wasted away in a fraternity or local (18+, of course) nightclub in Atlanta, I looked back to the night-out-experience I yearned for from high-school: My video is attached here.

Thanks to my mother for helping. Plus my cat, I suppose. #SQ9 #HT2

This home-tasking assignment was completed in a collaborative form by me and Kathy, since we live together, had similar thoughts for this assignment, and thought that we can produce a better result cooperatively than individually, while both putting in equal amount of effort. We both thought that movie night is a preferable and reasonable choice. We also decided to incorporate instruments at my house into this assignment, even though none of us are capable of playing them (why do I even have them?).

Greatly inspired by the Titanic emotional flute video , I decided to perform in a similar way. Sadly, even though I do not know how to play the instrument, I still could not mimic the effect that the original performer brings (I very much admire him), therefore, we just tried to add a twist to the performance and make it sound lively and relaxing. We practiced for one day, so the result is full of flaws (on my part), sorry for all the music majors out there.

Lastly, I would like to thank my family for taking out batteries from their remotes and clocks for the light strings, gathering all the candles and lamps in the house, and my cousin for his spectacular acting style as an audience with the virtual coke and popcorns. The link to the video is attached here, I hope you guys enjoy it.
