Better When Im Dancing - Orff Music Workshop Activity - Making up a Dance Routine

ElizabethSouth 2023-08-21 | (Fyi - this is NOT me singing, but Meghan Trainor.) I had a lot of fun helping my group to come up with a dance routine for the song, Better When I'm Dancing' by Meghan Trainor at the music teacher's workshop with Central Carolina Chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association this past Saturday. (If you look closely, you might see I have a little 23 week baby bump going on here. This is my announcement that I'm having a baby boy! I'm Elizabeth South, the one facing the camera wearing red with blonde hair in case you don't know me!)

The trainer was with Manju Durairaj and she was amazing! Learn more about Orff Music at: aosa.org/about/what-is-orff-schulwerk/the-teaching-process

GOOD ON MY OWN - FROZEN 3 TRAILER SONG (Prediction) DISNEY - Elizabeth South

ElizabethSouth 2021-10-25 | FROZEN 3 TRAILER SONG (Prediction) "GOOD ON MY OWN" written by Elizabeth South and Billy Smiley ©2019 ►This is a song prediction "Good on My Own" that Elizabeth South wrote as a possible song for Elsa in a possible upcoming Frozen 3 movie. Please Subscribe, Share, Comment your thoughts about the song, and Thumbs up! Honest thoughts about what YOU think will happen in Frozen 3 are welcome. Will Elsa get married? Or stay single and be good on her own? My interpretation does not lock Elsa into marrying any particular person, but by the end of this song she decides she wants to be on her OWN. . . some people believe Elsa is a Spiritual being who is above romance. I personally prefer that. Her struggling with this guy (who is an evil character in my story, btw - read the story behind the song with link below) does not mean she wants or ends up with him. But what do YOU think?

►LYRICS to DARE TO GO:

VERSE 1:

Can you still believe, after all this time?
Your whole life you were waiting
For that someone in your life
You can't live with your regrets,
You've got to move ahead instead.
You need to find new dreams to live again

CHORUS:

Dare to go, dare to go
Or you'll never know.
Dare to go, dare to go
In a thousand miles you'll know.
Just one step, one small step
To live with no regrets.
Dare to go, you got to dare to go

VERSE 2:

If you only knew,
This journey I've been through
Now I'm talking to my younger self,
Don't let him get away from you.
For you it's not too late
You're in a fairytale state
There's a love that does exist
It's in this place

BRIDGE:

Now that I know you,
In another life and time
I want to tell you
That love is here to find
Don't you know
You've got to dare to go

►LYRICS to NO WALLS JUST LOVE:
VERSE 1:
Broken roads marked with suffering
Always longing for the “one”
All our dreams of happiness
That left us in the rain.

VERSE 2:
All the walls we were building
Not looking for anyone
All of our feelings of emptiness
Led us down these roads of pain.

PRE-CHORUS
Your touch was far, but oh so near
So clear
Running after me
The distance was so hard to see
Believe

CHORUS:
I Want No Walls, Just Love
Take me as I am
I know this love is worth fighting for
Take the good with the bad
I Want No Walls, Just Love
No Walls

VERSE 3:
Your touch is like magic
And on these wings we’re going to fly
With hope and resurrection
Two paths destined from the sky

PRE-CHORUS:
Cherish all of our memories
Dream Tomorrow
Live Today
My heart breaks when I’m without you
But beats when we’re together

BRIDGE:
It’s all so complicated, but yet so simple
You know
This broken road has led us together
Always want to be with you

OUTRO:
I want no wall, no walls
Just to be with you
I want no walls, no walls
Just to love you

“GOOD ON MY OWN” CARTOON & SONG (FROZEN 3 PREDICTION) - Elizabeth South DISNEY

ElizabethSouth 2020-12-04 | In December 2019, I decided to write a song called “Good On My Own” (Elsa’s Love Ballad) that I thought would be a possible song for the movie and a story prediction/theory for a Disney Frozen 3! I have put my condensed story idea in this description below (if you want to read the whole story, there will be a link BELOW to read it all & the Lyrics to the song). This is just my own interpretation that I quickly developed in December so that I could write this song. I would love hearing other people’s ideas or constructive criticism if anyone wants to add to this. If I like or think something you write makes better sense for my story, I might even update my story here & give you credit!

I also created my very first Cartoon for this video using Character Animator & drew the characters using Adobe Photoshop & Fresco. I am not an animator, but thought this would be fun. The music video was filmed at Duke Chapel in Durham, NC on December 31, 2019. Interesting fact, the scenes with me in the white dress were filmed on March 11, 2020 right before we went into Covid-19 lockdown. Thankfully I finished the video before isolation! I also finished the cartoon during my Covid-19 isolation and it took me a long while to finish this because I have been doing my teaching job online and it has been quite time consuming!

FROZEN 3 (PREDICTION) written by Elizabeth South on 12-22-19
©2019 Elizabeth South Music CONDENSED VERSION:
In the beginning of Frozen 3, Anna is preparing for her wedding to Kristof. Elsa is seen in the Enchanted Forest with Ryder, Honeymaren, and Salamander.

Yelana tells Elsa about the secret of the 4 Elements Snowflake Amulet necklace that is hidden somewhere in Ahtohallan. Elsa decides to find the Amulet to protect it because anyone who holds the Amulet can have the power to control the 4 elemental spirits, & she wouldn’t want anyone to accidentally find it and wield its powers. Once she finds it, she wears it around her neck to protect it. Olaf journeys out to the West to a town called Ólafsvíkana. While he is there, he tells the stories of The Enchanted Forest & Arendelle.

Then enters prince Erik, who has the power of Telekinesis & the ability to harness the wind. He hears Olaf’s story & is drawn to the temptation of the powers of the four spirits through the Amulet, which Olaf accidentally mentions to him. Erik thinks that maybe Elsa & the Amulet could help him harness his powers all the more. Olaf invites Erik to Anna’s wedding.

At the wedding, Anna tells Elsa that she should also start finally looking for ❤️ love. Olaf introduces Erik to Elsa & Anna. Anna grows frustrated with Elsa’s love of being “otherworldly" & Anna wants her to learn to trust people. Elsa wonders what it would be like to be in love, but doesn’t need it to be happy.

After Anna’s wedding, Elsa meets Erik again at the reception. They talk & get along very well. “You see,” said Erik, “I traveled all this way to meet you because you’re the only other person that I’ve heard of in the world who has powers comparable to my own. Perhaps you can teach me how to contain them.”

Erik falls instantly & unexpectedly in love with Elsa. Elsa is interested in him, but wants to get to know him better. After all, Elsa once said, (in Frozen 1) “You can’t marry someone you’ve just met.” They go for a walk alone outside the reception around the castle. He tries to get the amulet from her so he can wield its powers by asking her if he can have a look at it. She refuses to take it off her neck. He tells Elsa that she is beautiful & that he’s falling in love with her. He asks her to marry him, thinking maybe he could get the amulet from her that way. So she awkwardly tells him, “Whoa! Wait! Slow down. You’re moving way too fast.”

She gets nervous because she’s never been in love before. It scares her & she’s too busy. She tells him she likes him, but says, “Can’t we be friends first?” Erik gets upset at Elsa’ rejection & walks away. Elsa is surprised & afraid that she hurt his feelings beyond repair, made him mad, & ruined any possible friendship with him. Catching her breath at his abrupt exit, she sings, “Good On My Own.. . . ”

ElizabethSouth 2020-04-12 | I hope my cover of this beautiful song by Lauren Daigle called “You Say” might be an encouraging song for some of you this Easter, especially since so many of us are going through hard times right now during this Covid 19 pandemic.

Love,

LYRICS to “You Say” by Lauren Daigle, Paul Mabury and Jason Ingram
You Say lyrics © Capitol Christian Music Group

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know

You say I am loved
When I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong
When I think I am weak
You say I am held
When I am falling short
When I don’t belong
You say I am Yours
And I believe
I believe
What You say of me
I believe

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity

You say I am loved
When I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong
When I think I am weak
You say I am held
When I am falling short
When I don’t belong
You say I am Yours
And I believe
I believe
What You say of me
I believe

Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet
You have every failure, God, and You’ll have every victory

You say I am loved
When I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong
When I think I am weak
You say I am held
When I am falling short
When I don’t belong
You say I am Yours
And I believe
I believe
What You say of me
I believe

Oh, I believe
Yes, I believe
What You say of me
Oh, I believe

Lumix S1H Video Autofocus Animal Detect test (Yorkshire Terriers)

ElizabethSouth 2019-10-25 | A lot of people might not know that the new Cinematic Panasonic Lumix S1H camera not only has Autofocus Animal Detection for Animals in Photos, but also in Videos! And it works great! Sony can't even boast of that since they now only have animal eye detection for photos only. I uploaded this video as a longer extension of my Human/Animal Autofocus test for Videos on this camera. I used the Lumix S 24-105 f/4 lens and Lumix S Pro 50mm f/1.4 for this video!

Interesting fact: The Panasonic S1H has now been named the first mirrorless full frame camera approved by Netflix in their productions! Pretty cool. This gives aspiring filmmakers who want to do high level work a more affordable option for filming!

Panasonic Lumix S1H Autofocus Human/Animal Test (Video)-Elizabeth South

ElizabethSouth 2019-10-23 | Update: Watch a Music Video ("Into the Unknown") that I filmed on the S1H camera using Autofocus: youtu.be/_sZpfywG4-4 In my opinion, it did a great job - better than in this video mostly because I was moving too fast around in this one.

The Panasonic Lumix S1H video camera is amazing and very cinematic for sure! I thought I'd upload this quick video I made answering a lot of questions I had about this camera in case someone else has the same questions. Let me know in your comments below what you think about the camera as well as which lens Autofocuses the best: 1. either Lumix 24-105 mm f/4 or 2. Lumix S Pro 50mm f/1.4 3. Also let me know which Autofocus Speed/Sensitivity settings you think work the best!
My thoughts are that this would be the perfect camera if it had Autofocus as good as Canon/Sony, but it's not totally horrible either - just not always reliable. I have in the past used Canon, GH5 cameras for my personal Music Videos, dogs, family, and as part of the film projects I do as a drama teacher where I need children to autofocus easily by tapping the viewfinder. I want a very high quality cinematic looking camera that also has good Autofocus and this is the best most affordable cinematic camera, although not cheap. I had lots of questions about how well it worked with Autofocus in both Human/Animal detection mode. Yes! Unlike Sony which only has Autofocus for Animals in Photo mode, Lumix S1H has Autofocus for Animals in both Photos and Video! I was excited to find this out! And I think it works very well! How well it works for humans, is still a question for me. Hopefully Panasonic will get their act together and make Autofocus a priority for those of us who need to use it for various reasons. Another thing it does (that the GH5 does not do) is you can change the priority of who/what you are prioritizing the Autofocus on simply by tapping the screen with your finger. (Canon has that feature I loved as well). So let me know your thoughts below!

fyi, this is not a sponsored video. Just something I was interested in and wanted to share in case it might help someone!
Thanks,
Elizabeth South
P.S. Now that I have this great camera, I'll be working on some new Music Videos in the future!

You Wont Let Go - Michael W. Smith (Cover by Elizabeth South)

ElizabethSouth 2019-04-25 | I'm excited to share this little video I put together for my cover of Michael W. Smith's inspiring song, "You Won't Let Go." Michael W. Smith was also gracious enough to play Piano on this cover! Thank you, Michael W. Smith! This is absolutely one of my favorite songs by him and even though I will be partial to his live version always, it was a joy to do my own version as well. I hope you enjoy it!
2 things:
1. At the very end of the music video (3:53), please write a comment on the video letting me know what you notice about the window and what symbolism do you think this portrays for the context of the song? I left a comment about it. If you want to reply to that, it would be great. Whoever gets it right, I will respond back with a big comment. :-)
2. Watch the very end of the video (4:02) to see a quick behind the scenes with me and the gospel singers, Martrell Harris and Dwanna Hughes! :-)

The music was produced by Billy Smiley (of White Heart). I was blessed to have the gorgeous voices of Martrell Harris and Dwanna Hughes with me (featured in this video). I also have the talented Anthony Sallee on bass (featured in this video), Blair Masters on Hammond Organ, Steve Brewster on drums (also in this video), and Brennan Smiley from The Technicolors on electric guitar. The song was mixed by Bill Whittington.

You can download this song at Amazon, CDBaby, or iTunes:

This video was filmed in Durham, North Carolina at Alley 26 and various places in the downtown area.

Not Letting Go - Elizabeth South - Cant - Let it Go

ElizabethSouth 2017-07-13 | "Not Letting Go" is Elizabeth South's newest Original Single co-written with Billy Smiley (of White Heart). It was purely by accident that the title is a twist of "Not Letting Go" as opposed to Elizabeth's single cover of Frozen's "Let It Go" (youtu.be/Xo4HsA3T07U). She starting writing the song from her heart and those are the words that came out naturally. Elizabeth explains her feelings about it in the "Outtakes" at the end of the video. Elizabeth wrote this song that captures the expression of her heart in believing in perseverance. In other words, don't Let Go of life. She pours out her heart as she expresses the sentiment of not giving up on life, dreams, and faith. (LYRICS are in Closed Captioning and below)

This video is a Behind the Scenes Music Video filmed on location when Elizabeth wrote and recorded the song last summer (Aug. 5, 2016) at Dark Horse Recording studio in Franklin, TN where a number of major artists such as Taylor Swift have recorded. (http://darkhorserecording.com) There are also scenes in Nashville, Tennessee. Watch until the end for more behind the scenes Outtakes and going deeper into the writing/recording process.

Elizabeth's mom went with her on this trip and filmed this video on Elizabeth's older Canon 5d Mark II with her 1.2 50 mm lens. The shots of Elizabeth in the glass window studio called "The Lodge" and some of the outdoor shots of Dark Horse were filmed by Jim "Rock" Quattrocki (http://www.rockoproductions.com) who happend to be there that day and kindly lended a hand at filming.

Not Letting Go
© 2016 Elizabeth South and Billy Smiley

Verse 1:
I’m drifting in the wind
I want to start again
I have to start again
Down this winding road
This story’s left untold
Won’t let my dreams get cold

Pre-Chorus:
You see my scars
And a broken heart
And it’s tearing me apart
I’m not gonna break
Like fragile glass
It’s finally come to me at last

Chorus:
I’m gonna reach high
No, I’m not letting go
Believing in my dreamin’
Is all I know

Gonna reach high
I’m gonna let it show
Imagine all the things that we could know
No, I’m not letting go
No, I’m not letting go
I’m not letting go

Verse 2:
It’s time to move ahead
I want to live again
It’s not my journey’s end
Light overcomes the dark
It pierces every heart
And this is where it starts

Bridge:
Cause I remember when
The world was mine to take
And I got lost along the way
Can't let it go
Won't let it go

How Rosie (Yorkie) became the DEVIL - Elizabeth, Nathan, & Anna South Film 1

ElizabethSouth 2017-03-14 | Try not to laugh at this super funny, super sweet mini movie (by my eight year old nephew) with a moral. "How my Yorkshire Terrie dog, Rosie, became the devil!"

My 8 year old nephew, Nathan South, decided recently to write his first screenplay for a little movie, making this his very first YouTube video! So, the drama teacher in me got excited to help him. Nathan also directed and narrated the movie.

The short movie stars my little Yorkie dog named, Rosie. My niece who is six years old, Anna South, plays the part of Bella. I, Elizabeth South, play the voice of Rosie and the Wizard. I also recorded, sang, and played piano for the little brief part of the song by Bette Midler called, “The Rose” for the background music.

Even my brother, Mark South, has a little cameo voice part in the End Credits where he says, “Rosie, you ain’t nuthin’ but the debil," which has been a long standing joke between my brother and me since we were little kids. Lol. The real truth is that Rosie in real life is the sweetest dog in the world. And she was super awesome filming this!

I hope this gives you a good laugh as intended! Share, Thumbs up, and Comment please!

(Download links at: http://elizabethsouth.com/album/eternity ) This romantic love song was written from Elizabeth's imagination dealing with the challenge of separation of true love during wartime.

The song was co-written by Elizabeth South and Billy Smiley (from White Heart). Billy Smiley is the music producer. Billy Whittington was the mixing engineer for the song.

LYRICS FOR "ETERNITY"

CHORUS:
Our love is frozen in this time and for eternity
It’s hard to let you go
When I don’t know if you’ll come back to me
Just hold me now and let us always keep this memory
When you walk away
We’ll hold this picture for eternity and on and on

VERSE 1:
I’ve been lost
Much like a falling star
In my dreams you were far
Then you came
You wiped away my tears
Now you’re leaving home
Falling down around these dreams I’m scarred
Now it all comes down to where we start

VERSE 2:
We’ve been here
Seems like a thousand years
In our hearts we’re never far
Through the pain
Our love will stay the same
I pray that you’ll come home

BRIDGE:
I love you
I’ll never let you go
I love you
Even apart our love grows
I love you
It’s something we’ll always know

Let Love Shine (Official Music Video) - Original by Elizabeth South

ElizabethSouth 2015-08-03 | "Let Love Shine" Official Music Video by Elizabeth South from her "I Love You" album. Download Info at: http://elizabethsouth.com/release/i-love-you

Hey, guys! I made this video myself - filmed and edited it. I hope you enjoy it and the message. How do YOU show LOVE? Tell me your thoughts on the message of this song in a comment below - good or bad thoughts on what you think of love (or lack of it) and how our world displays it today. Hopefully the message will be thought provoking for many of us. Let's get the conversation and message going. Please share this video!
Here are the LYRCIS:

"LET LOVE SHINE"

Let love, let love, let love shine (2x)

This is what I question
This is what I wish
That all of us could come together
On issues that exist
It's not my place to tell you how to live or what to do
It's only by my salt and light
And words of grace ring true

I wish there was no hunger, I wish there was no pain
We say that Jesus died for all, but still we're placing blame and shame
I wish there was no sickness, I wish no one was poor
I wish we'd learn to love each other instead of starting wars

Hold my heart and let it love you
Hold my heart and let it shine
Let us all just love one another
Come together and let love shine

I wish we all had freedom, I wish we all could think
Without tearing each other down, no matter what we believe
I don't have all the answers, I can't begin to preach
No I'm not perfect, just forgiven
But loving is what I'll be

Shine like the stars that are up in the heavens
Shine like a beacon and show the way

Let love shine

APPLE WATCH - POSITIVE Review by Elizabeth South!

ElizabethSouth 2015-05-02 | I'm one of the 1st to get an Apple Watch (early b-day present)!! This my first Technology review ever. I usually do music videos. :-) But basically, I like the watch & wanted to share my thoughts! My only criticism so far is I'd like for the "Calorie" Red outer Ring in the "Activity" App (and at a glance) to have the option for "Steps" also. I count steps and not calories burned, so having the Step Goal for the Activity in the at a Glance and on the Watch Face would be more beneficial for me and some people I've talked to as well. What do you think? I spoke with an Apple Specialist in a training personal workshop today (they offer once you get the watch) and he was really kind and said thanks for the feedback - they will be sharing that info with the company. So hopefully this will happen in the future updates!

Also, if they could ever get the Watch so that it could stand alone apart from the iPhone, it would be the perfect gadget! The specialist I spoke with also said that is a goal for the Apple Watch, but practically having the technology to make it happen is a challenge. . . something they will be aiming for.

So, my Review is very "Positive" on the Apple Watch. I'm excited to be one of the first people to get one!

Let me know if YOU will be getting one and what your thoughts are about the watch?
