The Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog

  We interrupt this program to bring you a special Bonus Blog Hey there boys and girls! Please put your hands together for...The Majestics Rhythm Revue! [imitating crowd cheering noise] I have called you here today for an imortant announcement to make. I'd thought maybe it would be a really really really really, REALLY great idea to come up with an idea on a music video for the song 'Sweat Like James Brown' by The Majestics Rhythm Revue. You've heard their music off of their first album Digga! Digga!, and now the time has come to talk about it. We're gonna take to the streets of downtown Lawrence and do a lot of filming here. What we need is a video camera for the footage, the song on my iPad, and someone to star in my next music video idea. Here’s who I’m gonna audition to star. Since I’m the director for this idea. Thom Alexander (My dad) Lois Orth-Lopes Sebastian Alfie The good folks from Americana Music Academy Kurt Henning & Elizabeth Tally Eric & Jill ...

  Welcome back to my Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog. What you're about to witness is something that you haven't heard before. As you may know, I've been making music for years ever since I lived there, and I'm still gonna keep on making music for more years to come. Right now, we thought it would be a good idea for me to do a look back at what happened in Lawrence Kansas over the years in my own time. Way back in September of 1989 when I was born, Billy Joel was opening doors in the way we look at history in his song "We Didn't Start The Fire". This is what it looked like in that video. And in case you didn't know just yet, it was featured on his 1989 album Storm Front. So before I move back to Lawrence Kansas and since there's plenty of time left until the time comes, I'm gonna take the time to work on our own version of the hit song. In the meantime, here's the lyrics I made. "We Didn't Start The Fire [Lawrence Kansas Version]...

  The camera’s rolling… Places… Quiet on the set… And…action! My next blog entry is gonna be about film and media production at Summerfield Hall in KU. I’ve been looking up some info on the Film and Media Studies facilities on KU’s website, and I think that it’s a great idea to do some green screen footage here. When I’m back in Lawrence Kansas, I’ll get in contact with the people here in Summerfield Hall and talk to them in doing production for my next video projects. I might even get to do green screen clips for some special FX wipes, music videos, action shots, etc.  I can also get together for some video editing at the computer lab too. Why? Let’s just say that because I’m in the mood for getting my next video project started in the future. Folks, you’re gonna love the stuff they do here at FMS Facilities. This is gonna be fun though! Here’s the inside scoop on Summerfield Hall’s FMS Facilities. Soundstage There's a soundstage with with over 2700 sq/ft of production s...
