A short video I made is linked on Huffington Post

[noamnety]

I'm linking the article because there are good links within it to videos and reviews of other artists I was honored to meet on the gulf coast. It's worth checking out their work (and Stan's other posts, because more people should listen to him).

Toward the end of the post, there's a link to a video (5 min) I just finished yesterday.

1. I don't have the time to properly express...

Holy crapoli! That was outstanding. (forgive my inability to properly describe the incredible power of that video)

[noamnety]

7. I'm glad you liked it

Voice (who made the music) was extremely gracious about letting me use it for this project. The lyrics were good to work with because they were evocative while still leaving some room for interpretation.

2. Congratulations! Your video is terrific.

The choices you made since the first draft are spot-on. :applause:

[noamnety]

3. Hey, thanks

(and thanks also for the feedback on the draft)

4. Kicking for the lunch crowd.

If the thread drops, maybe try posting the video in the video forum? It would have a longer life there.

5. Awesome...

What video program do you have?

[noamnety]

6. I put it together in Macromedia Flash

but individual parts were a combination of all kinds of stuff - some found images including old medical illustrations, but also a lot of my own photography, some of my own illustrations, a little bit of the winmorph program, and a free fractal generator I was playing with.

Basically whatever I could massage into something usable, I used. :)

8. Kickity! One more R, anyone? n/t

9. Kick for you, Iwfern.

Awesome, moving piece of work. Your voice is strong, your POV unique. Thank you. You are special.

[noamnety]

13. Well, it's someone else's voice

(the Voice part, that is)

but I did try to give it a unique interpretation. And Stan gave me some creative input at the very start, including a sack of ideas for images. Some of those I used, but mostly I tried to create my own sense of it within the spirit of what we'd talked about.

14. Your spirit is the sense that drives the piece.

I meant your creative voice, although the poetic voice of the narrator was appreciated too. Are you going to enter it into festivals? Seems like it could be competitive. Good luck with it.

[noamnety]

16. I hadn't thought of entering it anywhere

it's so ... short. :)

Maybe I'll look into that, though. I appreciate the encouragement on that front, sometimes I need a small kick in the ass to promote things in that way.

10. Congratulations!!!

Great achievement! What many of our thinkers here need and deserve is more exposure.

I salute you!!!
