the rooftops are the playground of BANGKOK

RE: Cities - Bangkok!

This was orginally going to be filmed on the BTS, but due to various dangers and the amount of people involved, we had to relocate!

The whole thing goes in and out of focus, with a bit of shakiness, as out awesome cameraman was a newbie at using our camera, courtesy of my friend Aly. But I think it adds to the whole child-like effect, don't you?

I decided to add eaneikciv's Once Upon A Balloon song because I felt it was an appropriately light-hearted tune, & is an absolutely adorable song <3

The introduction is a bit iffy, & is actually a video of the buildings just off the edge of BKK city, so it's technically Bang Na buildings :P

Starring myself, my artsy friend Tanya, a little bit of her sister Meghna, & our begruding art teacher who had to be there because we weren't allowed onto our school's roof without a supervisor :]

a couple nights ago, Chelsea and I were talking on Skype, and she started to sketch with her charcoals, and this is what I heard.

I really liked the sound of the charcoal against the paper, and thought it would make a nice RECord, for any use. Maybe as SFX for a film or something.

Et voilà mes chéris...A compostion of mine: piano, pizzicato strings and ukulele. I asked Mademoiselle Lula to help me with the title and she did, but as I was RE_working on it, I thought of her so I added the ukulele and picked a title with her name in it. Hope you guys will like it ^_^. Again by heart <3

I've kinda lost my musical mojo of late, so this if my first attempt to get back into music.

I was inspired by HayleyElise's and shanaynaynaomi's illustration..and megancarne's stunning music!

Any feedback would be much appreciated, feel like I am stumbling in the dark a little at the moment!

Gather round closer and before I forget

I will tell you the tale of the Marionette

And though beauty bloomed in the strokes of her face

Her puppeting heart was where magic took place

Marionette all tangled in strings

Like a bird in a cage they tied up her wings

Dance on little puppet girl you'll never be free

From the hands that keeps you from liberty

Filled up with stuffing her stitching was torn

So sat the marionette sad and alone

All night the button tears fell from her eyes

As she wished for her freedom on stars in the sky

One day she summoned her courage and gall

To cut free from her fastenings once and for all

To soar and to dance wherever she pleased

She took some old scissors and cut herself free.
