Hi!  I'm Emily Amadhia Albee, and I'm a
singer / songwriter; but from about 1990 to

00:00:07.810 --> 00:00:13.040
2011, I worked in film, television, and
visual effects. Some of the more

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:19.060
mainstream projects being: Battlestar Galactica,
I worked on Babylon5, and I worked at

00:00:19.060 --> 00:00:24.240
Disney Feature Animation. Now, about five
years ago I tried to retire from all

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:29.000
that and go back to my first love: music.
And even though I love being a part of

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:35.520
the music scene again, know what I found out?
I found out I love animation too much to leave it

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.980
forever. I love everything about it... from
story crafting, to all the skills that

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:44.420
have to come together to bring a
character to life. I just couldn't imagine

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:50.309
that not being a part of my life anymore.
So I thought, "Hey, why not find a way to marry

00:00:50.309 --> 00:00:55.059
together all things that I love more
than anything else in the world?" So, I'm

00:00:55.059 --> 00:00:59.940
creating a "cartoon band". You know, a
little like how the band Gorillaz is a

00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:05.600
cartoon band... but maybe a little more
Disney like. The lead singer for this

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.119
crazy idea is almost done. Her name is
DreamSong, and she's a "cartoon that

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:16.689
knows she's a cartoon," and that she's "living"
somewhere here on our world; you know,

00:01:16.689 --> 00:01:20.850
like the 'Toons from the movie, Who Framed
Roger Rabbit. The band's already got

00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:25.400
its own channel, and I'm already posting
to it. And it's not just gonna be

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.790
finished works and...

00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:30.940
videos there. I want this to kind of be a
work in progress

00:01:30.940 --> 00:01:35.920
"Vlog" as I learn how to use this
production suite called Blender. Now, Blender's

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.650
been around for a long time, but I
never really paid much attention to it

00:01:39.650 --> 00:01:46.100
before because, you know, it was like, free.
But I gave it a try a few months ago out

00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:51.820
of curiosity, and wow! I just can't
believe how powerful it actually is. So

00:01:51.820 --> 00:01:56.740
here's the Card for Dream's channel. check out 
what's already posted there, and Subscribe there

00:01:56.740 --> 00:02:01.900
because that's where I'm going to be writing most
of my new music; and hey, see if this crazy idea

00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:03.500
comes together!

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:04.000
Cheers!
