So.... all the lights are up, so I'm happy! The wood showed up for the partition so I cracked on with that and made a good start. Got most of the support beams up with the help of Leon (to get the top ones up) but now I'm retiring for the day to have a much needed sleep!
I know I keep saying it but I'm getting so exhausted. Alter Ego Dance

Still doing the lights... very annoyed... a certain merchant gave me the wrong cable and so I had to rip it all down and start again with new cable... Pissed! But did they take the old cable back? NOPE.
Had some of the youth crew come and help again as well as the family!... They cracked on with the painting and general tidying up.
Flawless have leaked an exclusive behind the scenes video of Street Dance 3D on their YouTube Channel. By "leak" it's really more of a teaser video.
There's not much new to see. There's a bit of backstage action with the crew before cutting to editing room rough cuts of the film (you can see the tracking numbers at the top of the frame).

Alter Ego Dance Studio Renovation Day 15
The video is later in the day... Basically today I've been boarding up windows all throughout the hall to stop people seeing in and of course save some money on the heating bills! Hehe!
Today was the first day that I actually started to feel like this is really happening... and I'm not gonna lie I'm scared... in two years time I'll either be bankrupted or a millionaire... Fingers crossed for the latter!

Day 13... well it wasn't unlucky for me... I finally have an office to work in!
The furniture is in and and the computer is up and running! This saves me rushing to get home to edit and upload these videos as I can do it from here! Yay!
The plan today was to get started on boarding up those windows... and you can see how it went tomorrow!
It’s time… to put your quarters up and check out the hottest video on the planet: Bobby Evans’ smash hit Delicious Vinyl single Freak-A-Zoid Robotz, directed by Marcus Herring. Enter an arcade game world where a Tron state of mind and fly moves preside, where metallic Sorayama-inspired robots do choreographed dances and fight 8-bit battles to the death.
About the video:
Director Marcus Herring said: “The visual look of the video was inspired by the beauty of low resolution pixel art in classic arcade games. I was intrigued by the idea that a face can still look beautiful even when it is scaled down to a resolution of 12 pixels tall.”
As Delicious Vinyl Curator Rick Ross, who produced the video, says: "We really aimed to break that proverbial fourth wall in the gaming universe — the fine line between man, woman and machine."
The video's concept was based on an original arcade game specially designed for the 12-inch artwork for Bobby Evan's Freak-A Zoid Robotz. Herring expanded upon that arcade game concept, fleshing it out with a video full of players/gamers including L.A. Rap duo The Keyishe, Team G, performance artist Yasmine Kittles, dancer/choreographer Amanda Furches, dancer Erin Beneze, Anthony Julio (creator of the golden robot mask seen in the video) and the world famous KXLU DJ, Bianca Bracho.
Freak-A-Zoid Robotz is the lead track and theme song from Delicious Vinyl's critically lauded RMXXOLOGY album. The song itself is inspired by a truly obscure cut from deep in the Delicious Vinyl catalog: an electro-bass number called The Fine Line Between Hyper And Stupid that appeared on the b-side of Tone-Loc's 1990 single I Got It Going On. With Freak-A-Zoid Robots, Bobby Evans (half of L.A. hip-hop duo Brother Reade) has taken it back to the real pioneers of Miami Bass, with whip-it-good drums, ass-clapping bass, and synapse-snapping synthesizers...all perfect for robot booty shaking.

Alter Ego Dance Studio Renovation Day 12
So today is a Sunday and yes, I'm working! Too Keen! Carrying on the painting in the more difficult areas as you'll see on the video. As well as this I have decided I want to get my office finished so I can have my computer at the studio (saving driving time!).
Managed to make it to B&Q to buy what I need to cover up the windows, although still debating if its a good or a bad idea? Opinions?
As always Ben makes an appearance on the video... He found an affiliation with the plaster board and just wouldn't move...
Natasha (member of my Adult Crew) decides to pop in and HELP but decides she wants to play narrator instead... Hmmm... watch her coverage!
