 I think i have mine narrowed down to one solid idea.  This is a lot more than i could say for myself two weeks ago.  I have a passion for music and there was no doubt in my mind i wanted to use my music as a major contributor for my capstone, but how?  The idea of doing an album is just way too over used and the same goes for a musc viideo. Besides, just recording, mixing and mastering an album would be rather boring and time consuming for presenting so i wanted something that would display make it easier for someone to listen to more than one of my songs without staring at the transport on a computer and becoming bored after the first track.  However, a music video is too short.. So i thought why not combine the two.  I am going to make a short film that is led by the music.  It will flow back and forth from diologue to music to tell a story. The story is my next step.  I want it to be a drama with a twist and some comedic relief.  This is going to be a story that means alot to my band mate derek and i because it is something we have both experienced and helped eachother through.  A lot of my inspiration comes from derek, my love for music and a little of being pushed to make a decision with my graduationdate rapidly approaching.  I look forward to starting my story in the very near future.

What is a capstone?  This is a chance for me to demonstrate my talent in more ways than one.  I cant wait to not only show off my skills in audio and video production and design as well as my bands talent!  I have finally come up with the idea i think i am going to use and look forward to doing it.  This is going to be not only my chance to prove to employers im a worthy candidate but this is also going to be a great piece for my press kit when trying to find shows for my band down the road. So to me a capstone is going to be many things that i plan on using he rest of my life.
