After watching the three videos for this week’s discussion post, I have a better understanding of the difference between a normal press kit and an EPK. In dealing with the artist that I have been working with through out this class I feel that a more creative video like the Neko Case video would be more suiting to the artist. They too are indie and artsy, maybe without the animated colleges but this style of video would get their story across and still promote the new album. Her video is a short film about where she came from and how she got there, much like The Blind Spots could use their background story to promote a new album. They too look at life in a different light, and an EPK that highlights the creative genius would just be the type of thing to show case a new album after several years. Referring again to the Neko Case video she is promoting her new album, but she is also promoting how she made the video. Her EPK is more of a narrative about how she was inspired and the emotional feelings that went into this album. I have listened to Neko Case prior to watching this video, and yes this video is very creative. She is one of those artists that when you listen to her music it almost makes you want to create something yourself. The way she intertwines animated clips that she herself made and the filters used to film the video are all forms of creativity she wanted to use to emphases that this album is very close to her heart. Her narration and the line she says about…

From reading The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, I would add a piece of technology that would help Jim Smiley win more bets with his frog. I would add a device that would be capable of measuring jumping height, force from takeoff, and the landing force. This way Mr. Smiley could go out and gather frogs and test them until he singled out the best frog for him to use in his bets. Mr. Smiley taught the frog that he caught in the story on how to jump higher, but if someone else were to…

Plaintiff Joanne Bolek had been admitted to Ahuja Medial Center in early November 2013, for complications from congestive heart failure and fluid buildup in her kidneys. Upon discharge from Ahuja, Ms. Bolek was sent to defendant Menorah Park’s facility for rehabilitation. According to Ms. Bolek’s son, Peter Bolek, they sent Ms. Bolek to Menorah Park to have her regain her strength, “because she was very weak.” B. Admission to Menorah Park On November 22, 2013, Ms. Bolek was admitted to…

If you’re squeamish, turn back. This isn’t a good place for you to be. If not, well, it’s possible that I’m going to change that. So listen up and listen quickly. It’ll be over before you know it. I used to love popping zits. There were days where all I could do was stand in front of my bathroom mirror and pop what pimples dared to show on my skin. The problem was, as far as my face goes, I have almost none there. But when it came to my body, there were quite a few problem areas I could attack.…

The fall.. I woke up one day to find myself getting chilled, I opened my eyes, the bright light tingled them. I found tones of snow all around. The gusty wind was really scary, killing me with its chillness. I stood up roamed some steps. It seemed like I was on one of the glaciers in some part in Antarctica...puzzled...I moved on, From a distant I saw a full grownup but lean and thin polar bear on the edge, her kids were playing around her in warmth love of their mother. Leaving the occasional…

Hamlet’s actions throughout the play support this deceitful nature. His dual personalities are the foundation of his madness. There are many examples that illustrate how Hamlet’s deceitful nature results in a tragedy because of his inability to choose which role to play.      In Act One, Hamlet appears to be very straightforward in his actions and his role. When his mother questions him, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not…

Lenders were able to access patients medical records then deny their application for a home mortgage, credit card, and in decision making within human resources (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2006). Individual’s civil rights were being violated without ever seeking permission to view their personal medical history. On March 18, 1996, Bill Archer (R), introduced the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 to the House of Representatives. The bill reported by the…

BPM is an independent record shop and privately run in the early 90’s and later became one of the large markets for the local electronic music. It is a record store, which sells CDs and vinyl. The large growth in sales of the vinyl and CD records contributed to BPM grow into a record distributor with independent records labels at home and overseas as well as supplying their up-to-date music to the record stores. Nevertheless, the record shops are recently losing market share to Web-based shops…

doing in the studio. The studio that I did that work with Suburban Tea Room is a place called the Complex, located in West Los Angeles, which was built by George Massenburg. Holy cow, this was the studio George was telling me about and I just recorded there!! I started asking questions to David about Massenberg and the studio and he was surprised I knew so much about the place and I said, this is a dream come true, to record here. David and I hit off that day and I was excited to be part of…

“What law, you ask, do I satisfy with what I say?”—The Unwritten Law The title heroine’s famous defense speech in lines 995-1005 of Antigone has prompted the view that the play is extremely enigmatic. It is a passage that has been read with astonishment and demands detailed explanation. In her speech, Antigone provides what appears to be a reason for her burying her brother Polynices against the orders of her uncle and King, Creon. Antigone claims, however, that she would not have deliberately…
