"October" Vlog

In making up for lost time, I'm doing the last 3 vlogs that I need to do from when I set the one vlog a month goal for myself last year. It seemed silly to make it so close and then give up, so better late than never.

For this one I had the idea, a while ago, to take short videos on my BlackBerry throughout the year. So the video quality is not the best, but it was kinda a fun ongoing project for me.

The music I chose actually has a bit more of a story to it. I named the track "Letting Go (Bad Things Happen)." It's actually a mesh of two songs I put together, both originally titled "Letting Go." One from the Super 8 score by Michael Giacchino. And the other from the "Thor" film score by Patrick Doyle.

Every year I make a CD for people. It's an inexpensive gift for the holidays (I do one every December) and it also kind of acts as a memento of my year. I pick songs that resonate with me, and tell the story of the year I had. This year, not only did these two amazing films hit home with me, but also the idea of letting go of certain things has been important. I combined these two songs and liked the result.
