The Mythical Video That Grew Itself
This video began as a record of the rather amazing garden we have
at our place in the Victorian seaside town of Portarlington, Australia.
The original title was Avant Garde(n) but someone else
The video sat in my editing system for a long time, largely
because I couldn't come up with a suitable sound track for it.
Every time I looked in on it, it had mysteriously grown new
images. More and more new images until the original video
was just a distant memory and our garden had become
an even more amazing and magical place.
But one day it stopped growing new images!
It remained exactly the same each time I looked in on it
so I knew it was 'finished'.
But it still didn't have a sound track worth squat.
So together, Peter and I are now pleased to present
The Mythical Garden of Smythe Street.
My favorite scene is the fish pond !
ReplyDeleteDavid and Peter, this is a terrific little film, I enjoyed it a lot. DAVID - good to see a lot of straight shots from you this time around, but when you do go into the supers, they are really subtle and inventive, and complement the straight shots really well. PETER - the soundtrack you have compiled together is exquisite, with its different layers, and then all the sync points were spot on, not just at the obvious cuts, but in relation to the editing as well, its pace and feel. Very nice film !
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Bill. I don't get much praise from you so I'll enjoy it this time. I'm sure Peter will also be chuffed by your positive comments re his sound track (which I love, by the way) Cheers!
