This project can be summed up with a cold coke as the sunset burns hazes of reds and oranges and the smell of roasting coals fills the warm, humid air. Beg, Steal, or Borrow was not just a project, it was an experience. It was a cause for connecting with other classmates and an already friend. I was in charge of acting in the our music video and it was fun to put it lightly.
My other group member Angelo was charged with the task of being the producer and film maker of the video. Angelo and I had to travel great distances in order to reach "the perfect setting", what Angelo called it. We had to travel down a nationwide highway and turn down an incomplete exit. Then we had to abandon my car and walk a mile and a half down a one-way street. The only thing that was visible was the lush green plant life that dominated the sides of the road and a single lone armadillo. We had to run down this street carrying a thirty pound mirror, which was a vital prop to the story, and bags full of outfits and camera equipment.
The acting was fun as I was able to share my love for role playing many different emotions with my friend who encouraged, supported, and guided my every choice for how I displayed certain emotions. It was so exciting to run around a beautiful secluded field that had its very own lake. We yelled, ran, started fires, and laughed. To wrap it up the walk back to the car was beautiful and thrilling. We told tales of panthers running out from the shadows of the lush and eating unfortunate kids. We ran back to the car as fast as we could, fumbling with the heavy cargo. When I received a text from Angelo of the completed movie, it truly brought tears in my eyes, it was a masterpiece, our masterpiece.
