LILBAT BLOG INTRO!
Heyo!! LiLBaT here, jumping back into the media world! For those of you who know me I’ve been pretty absent besides Instagram for awhile for many many reasons. Mostly because I don’t have a camera, I used to make short fun videos as a job and did quite a bit of vloging to get the job and during… Life had some up and downs been doing pretty alright now.. TOO BUSY, working on that. Want to keep this short and simple for now because I have a few post I started on my website to post as blogs but feel like tumblr is probably a better way to go but will also share my blogs on my website JustTrishSmith.com which most likely will change to have something to do with LiLBaTProducations or something along those lines.
Ha! A video probably would be better to get started but I’m sitting in my office and can’t make one. Anyways what is really pushing it is I’m a huge music lover, most of my life has to do with music or the culture of it. Went to school for design as well as film and animation with hopes of making music videos, movies, and special effects BUT ended up working for the news (which is where I am now, just started back a month ago) but did a temporary project called 4the412 where we made short fun news stories about whatever interested us and what was new and going on. It made me love that style of video and want to continue that. I had my own show within the project called 412nes and it is my baby and goal to continue that. I’ve keep the name and people know the name and what it was but I want to get back to it and better then ever. What was 412nes; pretty much mini fun documentary featuring local (Pittsburgh aka 412) bands. I would do an interview with the band then shoot their live set at a show, or occasionally snag some footage from their music videos. I was hosting so in the video with the band. Filming, occasionally having a camera friend with me; and for future always want to have someone operating the camera or even more of a goal having at least a two camera shoot for such things..
I’m kind of jumping around and all over to keep it short but another thing awesome about that is being a host is so cool! I’ve always looked up to and wanted to be like Elvira and this is kind of my chance but making it my own with it being music and not movie horror BUT I mean I’m open to all.
I also interviewed some national bands or friends bands from other areas and called that LiLBaT Chats. LiLBaT chats don’t just have to be about music but again everything and everything going on.
SOOOOOOOOO.. jump to why I’m writing blogs is because I’m tired of my excuse “I’ll start again when I get a camera” DUDES, I’ve never had my own camera they were all owned by who I was working for. I will get one one day but why the hell not at least post a picture and write a bit. My first videos were filmed on my phone edited and I threw some cheesey graphics in with them.. So lets get back to that.. I have so many notes on what to vlog about what to blog about and never do. I have to do it in the moment and when its relevant or like forget what I want to say or well new things happen.
I wanted to record about things such as: why the hell is it so hard to get a job?; why don’t people at least say they received your application/resume especially when you have expressed your interest over and over and felt you were perfect and 9 months later the job is still posted?? Ummm lets see, typically I’m not too political and dont know why or what kicked me in the butt maybe just the world we live in and seeing everything because I work at the news again or because I’m out at events and listening to peoples stories but like I want to stand up for Equality and what that means to me and how it truly is how I feel. I hate the sexist bullshit from both and all sides. I’m reading books (like I’m impressed with myself on that one) like never could get into reading because I get distracted or don’t have time. and I don’t have time but sometimes at my jobs I can read.
BUT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW TODAY THIS IS BECAUSE OF…… MUSIC…. I started to write a post the other day about Hawthone Heights’ new music video for Just Another Ghost (which will be posted next, and later more on my love for those dudes), then today just saw Christopher Drew post a cover of Love Me Tenderer by Never Shout Never. So I want to throw that on my blog to let you know about it and to check it out and to just recognize and feel the love in the world the best you can. I have felt so much lately and its amazing, and I hope it continues. I dont say I love you to like anyone but my family but was feeling so loved and in love that I recorded myself talking about it and crying being so happy. I recorded it because I was driving a long while to visit my family. But that’s all things I’ll write about. well probably not the details of the love stuff but like just all my thoughts and if I keep up with blogs. My thoughts can be a bit more organized, unlike this post that is literally everything bunched into one…
so that’s that! Leave me comments, let me know your reading, let me know what you think about what I think…. lets keep things positive. dont tell me my spelling or grammar sucks because I am aware and trying to be better…keep me posted on things, help me to grow the things I keep saying I want to.. let me know what you think or feel or yepp this is going to long. Just HELLO BLOG/VLOG WORLD I AM BACK!!!
ps obviously I love snapchat filters, maybe too much……
