The Extremely Stressful Life of an MV director
Hi. It's WouldYouBelieve. AKA Newly Appointed Director For the MV Because Everyone Else In The Group Is An Idiot. A long title, yes, but I think it's very fitting.
So for a group project in Graphic Arts, we're supposed to direct an MV. Cool, huh? Then I got assigned to the biggest group of flap-mouthed canker-blossoms in the world. In the corner over there is the guy who never says a word. Never. He just grunts, mostly. Mostly, everyone just assumes that drooling means assent. Then there's the girl whose brain evidently hasn't been used since third grade. Oh, and her friend, the shoppaholic. I've never heard either of them ever talk about something other than clothes. Over there is that awkward not-quite-a-couple-but-obviously-should-be-so-they-can-start-thinking-about-things-other-than-each-other. Are THEY in your group too? Yes. Yes, they are. And they just sit there, giggling with each other, completely oblivious to the outside world. And finally, we have Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum: the two inseperable freshman boys who are somehow able to talk FOREVER about Skyrim. If I hear one more "Arrow to the knee!", so help me God, THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
But is this awful set of coworkers the problem? No. The problem is the subject for our MV. The overarching theme is supposed to be "Rock and Roll."
Teacher: "Okay, pick a decade of music for the MV."
Tweedle-Dee: "FIFTIES!!" :D
Teacher: "Gotcha."
Me: "Wai--"
Other Groups: "Sixties! Seventies! Eighties!"
Teacher: Okay, how about a specific band/performer?
Others: Michael Jackson! Beatles! Aerosmith!
Teacher: Okey-doke. How about the 50's group?
Tweedle-Dum: Elvis?
Teacher: No, he's too overused. (WHAT?! AND THE OTHERS AREN'T?!) How about you pick a female artist?
Tweedle-Dee+Dum: OKAY!!
Me: WAI--
Teacher: Okay then, we're all good! Get to work!
Do you see my problem here? HOW MANY FEMALE ROCK-AND-ROLLERS WERE THERE IN THE FIFTIES?! Please, for the love of chopsticks, if any of you know of any who fit that description, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me. When I asked my group if they had any ideas, it went a bit like...
Grunt/Drooler: **grunt**
Girl1: **turns to friend** So I, like, went shopping~ and then~ I bought something.
Friend: GASP. Like, no wayyyy~~ I did too! Twinsiesssss~ <3333
Not-Couple: **giggles** You're so cute~ >///< Oh stop... YOU'RE so cute <3 >////<
Tweedle-Dee: I used to know a lot about fifites, y'know... Then I took an arrow to the knee.
Tweedle-Dum: Haw Haw Haw... Sick, bro! **highfives**
... help.
