This is a French silent film about love and loss. I was really inspired by the music that accompanies this piece, and I loved the grainy, cut-up look of the footage in ESCARGOTS, and the idea for it just sort of popped in my head, so here it is.

And here is where I must admit: French is my third language (the first being Swedish, the second English), and sometimes it really shows. I don't speak it on a daily basis and I found myself struggling with the correct words and sentence structure. Hopefully a native speaker can let me know what rubbish I've done with their poor language and is willing to help me out.


The English translation of the mini-story I wrote:

The days have become lonely, and gray.

I have become nothing. I do not exist anymore, only between the shadows.

Remember our first meeting?

There was this color. I loved every part of you.

Your eyes, your laughter. The beauty of your bones.

But now you are gone.

I live in a fog.

I cannot live without you.

So I will not.

Just because I love this song so much.

I liked Kylier's take on sunflowerdagger's tiny story incorporating SFBakstad's stop-motion of flowers blooming, so I added a lily to wirrow's and paperlilies' cartoon.

You know what I think would go really good with this is some sound effects of wirrow's pen scratching along the paper... anyone?

==========================================
I think I've got almost everything to mix it down for a result i dream of.
If you really want to help me finish it, please do the "cello chorus and outro" part from this file: http://hitrecord.org/records/129301 . It can be anything, not only cello, so if you play any strings, welcome:)
Synth version is here: http://hitrecord.org/records/150248

Thank you:)

There's -very- rough version of this beautiful song. I used my old orchestration, warm viola by IlliterateWriter instead of synth violas and guitar (that is recorded pretty bad (well, more bad than pretty:)) instead of synth bass.
I haven't enough time to make it really good right now, so it's just a draft (I need to do something with all that buzzing and asynchronism and, for god's sake, rerecord this terrible guitar!), but I really like it. No, really.
