I like to film people.

I make shorts with the footage.

Or I used to.

But I'd still like to film people.

Let me know if you don't want me to film you.

Thank you.

What kind of films?

[om_chroma]

Like candid photography.

But in film.

Capturing slices of life.

[om_dazzler]

That sounds kind of cool.

You could film me, if you wanted. As long as you let me see it.

[om_chroma]

Thank you. :)

I'll show you any time I film you.

[om_dazzler]

Awesome! I'm Alison, by the way.

[om_chroma]

It's nice to meet you, Alison.

I'm Simon.

The English Simon, I guess.

[om_dazzler]

It's nice to meet you, Simon.

Have you been making these films a long time?

[om_chroma]

A couple of years.

Since I got a mobile.

Although the one I have now doesn't take good quality videos.

I'm going to save until I can buy a better one.

[om_dazzler]

That's pretty cool. Is it just for fun, or are they art projects of some sort?

[om_chroma]

Fun and art aren't mutually exclusive. :)

[om_dazzler]

Too true.

I think creative outlets are a must for some people, you know?

[om_chroma]

I love film and photography.

Do you have creative outlets?

[om_dazzler]

I'm a professional singer and dancer, actually.

[om_chroma]

That's amazing.

Have you made it to England?

What kind of music do you sing?

[om_dazzler]

Pop. I have a CD out, and a few music videos, but I don't know if any of it has really reached England yet.

My popstar name is Dazzler, if you've ever heard of me.

[om_chroma]

I'll look you up on YouTube. :)

[om_dazzler]

Cool. Even if you don't like pop music, I do put on a pretty light show :D

[om_chroma]

You do your lights yourself?

[om_dazzler]

Yes. I kind of use my powers and pass them off as a stage effect. Everyone buys it.

[om_chroma]

You're not afraid someone'll notice?

What about your technicians?

[om_dazzler]

I've been doing it for two years and no one's noticed. I even took classes on the subject so everyone would think I had knowledge in it. I told my manager that I wanted to do all of my own effects, and no one thought anything of it. When you're saving your manager money, they never even think twice after you show them that you can do something.

I do have a small amount of lights that aren't mine set with a timer just in case, but it's mostly all my own lights.

[om_chroma]

I'm glad you can pull it off.

It's nice being able to do something with our powers.

[om_aurora]

I agree with Alison. It is an interesting art form, and I think it is okay as long as you show us, Simon. Thank you for telling us!

[om_chroma]

Thank you for letting me!

I'll always show you. :)
