Alright, soooo. There's a lot of stuff going on in my brain for this, and I'm not quite sure where to go from here.

As of tonight, and I will continue to add to this, I have added RECords I think could certainly be used in my "Much Less Dancing" Fall Formal play (also in this album).
(IF this gets portrayed at FF. This is one enormous IFFFFF)

Right now we need quite a few things:
1. A legit time lapse to use. The ones I have in here are GORGEOUS, but they're all seperate videos. Ideally, I'd like one time lapse of just the sky from say 9pm till after sunrise. OR it'd be splendid if someone could put the night/sunrise videos I keep finding together. You guys are all super talented with video, so I wouldn't put it past you to work some magic on this. And that's certainly the hitRECord way of doing this, n'est-ce pas?
The "play" itself isn't long, but one of the most important visual aspects is the time going by -- as noted by the characters by the sky, as they're outdoors.

2. MUSIC. As it's a DANCE, music is very important, and I am so very in love with hitRECord music, so what better way to utilize it? Both fast paced and slow paced. Read the script! If you think a particular song fits, let me know!

EDIT:
So, at first I had this kind of "1950s/swing" image in my head for this, but after listening to some hitRECorders' music... I think that it doesn't really matter what style music is playing, as long as you can dance to it.
Mostly I found a lot of kindaaa slower paced things. So I really would like some music at a quicker speed.
So take a listen to the songs, suggest some more (PLEASE), and it would be most excellent if anyone could let me know the most suitable place for whatever song you happen to think fits perfectly.
ie. catness suggested "You Do Your Thing" when they're walking in, and "Bound" when Boy takes Flower's hand.
and every time I listen to "Dude/Dudette", I imagine the "fade to black" part, like credits at the end of a film or something. I can picture it playing as soon as the lights go off and when the performers take their bows, etc.

3. DANCING. I don't really have any particular style chosen out, but swing-ish would still be my favorite to see, and then slow dancing at parts as well. We won't be able to play the entirety of whatever songs go into this because of the length of the piece, but i want it to be a healthy mash up of fast/slow songs. Everyone will be dancing with partners, too, keep in mind.

4. I don't know. :D I'm seriously at a loss for what to do next. But I really, really would love some help.

Here's a crisp clear San Francisco sunrise. For you photographers, this is HDR rendered to even out the light of the bright sun. 1911 still photos shown in 20 seconds. I got so excited when I saw the cargo ships coming in and out!

It's been 4 years living with a strange form of Arthritis and its time I wrote a song.
I am no lyricist but oh well. Here goes.

Lyrics:

It struck in the dead of day
Took hold, it was leading the way.
Engulfed, feeling crippled and cold.
So young but so withered and old.

And I'm bound,
Shackled in silver Lies
Trapped in my new disguise
And I'm bound,
Be gone when I close my eyes
And dream of big blue skies
Oh I'm bound

Four years move so slowly
Each one so unholy.
So many dreams down the drain
And I know I shouldn't complain

But I'm bound...

Did anyone catch the full moon the other night? I connected my Canon 50D to my Meade LX90 telescope and took 900 pictures which I converted to 300 HDR. Not sure if you can tell its HDR, but what the heck.

Thought it would be a fun background for you creative folk

Moving Starlit sky. This is about 4 hours condensed into 15 seconds. I wanted to catch the Milky Way and Scorpio. Can anyone see it? This was taken over Clearlake in Northern California!

Little song I just recorded.
It was supposed to have an 'oldfashioned' feeling to it, but came out more jazzy, i dunno xD

Would be awesome if we could get a female vocal in the second part (which I've purposely left vocalless) to compliment my (not so good) vocals at the beginning.

Also some improv electric piano or scat vocals on the intro would be awesome.

I cannot get the “Much Less Dancing” idea out of my head, and also cannot get Joe’s “Call to Writers” out either. So I figured this would be a good start for me. It’s not the most exciting Fall For...

i guess it's easy to say that you're what my heart is looking for
i guess it's easy to think now that things have worked out so well

as they say, what goes up must come down
as all things have been justified in the end
don't let that get you down; don't let that suck you under the waves

i guess it's easy to quit when things seem so much easier now
i guess it's easy to laugh when everything is built to collapse on itself

and they'll say "you're not the person i thought i knew!"
as all of us tend to change over time...
well i won't let that get me down
i won't forget the girl i fell in love

it's darker than we'd feared it be
this world wasn't made for you and me...

it's just you and me.

I measured love by any success
it's harder now that you're gone, i must confess

but still, i can't wait for everything
to align itself with me
and give up the sanctity
of the ambience

i don't get it; why must we collect memories
as if we'll gain any sense from their complexities
every little sound i make is questioned and explored
as if there's something to gain from pretending you're bored

but still, i can't wait until today
to realize that it's okay
and give up the holiday
i made up in my brain

everything i touch turns to gold
everyone i love quickly gathers mold
and every joke i say quickly gets old
but this is my return to form

i've got only fifteen minutes
until this cloudburst drowns me out

everything i sing makes no sense
everything i write seems so pointless
everyone i know acknowledges it
but this is my return to form

i've got only fifteen minutes
until this cloudburst drowns me out
with soft lightning
