This is one of those videos that I created by accident, which happens pretty frequently...everything just fell into place. The short film I worked with made by BaronBrandonSchwindt and the music by ppeppina made it so easy for me to cut something I am soooo incredibly happy with.
Usually when I cut a video, I have a very basic and general idea of what I want to do with the footage/music I selected...I never know what I'm making until I finish the beginning and the ending, I fill in the middle at the end.
I figured this song would go well with a love theme, so that's why I chose this footage really without watching the whole thing but seeing how great the DP work was as I forwarded through the video first time round.
I realized what the story was when I was working on the ending...I realized how well the scenes of the male character watching the footage of his dead lover works so well for the loops collab...after losing someone you try so hard to remember them, you get trapped in a loop of thoughts, memories etc...and it can be very hard to break free from that loop and come back to reality.
Also the fact that the "remembering" sequences have an old filmic look (representing memories/him watching her on film) and the "present" shots at the end and in between are more sharp worked out perfectly as well.
Even though this is regarding loops, I wanted to have a linear story and not have too much repetition, I'm big on creating a story instead of stringing clips together when I edit.
Thank you MikeK for your input, wouldn't have been able to cut this without you :o)
:D
I can't remember who asked me to do this.
Here's a draft of TheSerpentTheCharmer's "Departures."

And suddenly the memory returns. The taste was that of the little crumb of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray (because on those mornings I did not go out before church-time), when I w... |

I just joined this site, and I'm in the midst of a 365 project, so I'll just be uplaoding some of my favourites form the project so far!
you can catch up with the project here; wwww.facebook.com/EricaCPhotography

I really loved Bell's "Departures" so I took it, added a little lo-fi grit to it and some background noise, and then did a reading of part of my poem "Of Messengers and Wolves" over the top. Not really for any particular purpose other than I wanted to. So, enjoy.
In my collaboration "Spiderlimbs and Eerie Things" I challenged all the crontibutors to consider coming together with our creepy stories and illustrations to create a graphic novel. A graphic novel is the perfect collaboration project as it necessitates a writer, penciller, inker, letterer, and colorist.
In the case of this first story I have filled in as penciller and inker, just to get the ball rolling, and obviously, Metaphorest was the writer of the poem "The Sorrow Bird". Now all that is needed (for this story, at least) is a letterer and colorist. Help me out guys! (Or start your own penciller/inker steps by choosing another story in the collab.)
If you want to take on either of these jobs, download the zip file of all the pages!
