Another project combining poetry, music and images.
The poem is the work of my friend -- Selena Ibanez -- who is the queen of words. I must mention here, that she did this LIVE, just spilled the words out of nowhere. She's real gifted :)
My husband did the filming, as usual. He is so lovely, because he shot some of the footage specifically for the words in the poem. He put up with my pestering too ha ha ha.
I just did the music using Acid and put everything together in Vegas.
I hope you enjoy it!

I really like the way you guys put everything together
and come up with such a wonderful piece of work.
GREAT STUFF!
I usually don't like little added effects like the tv mask/static but I thought it definitely added dimension to the piece. I could have done without the effect at 1:15 and at the end because it was a little distracting to me, but overall the piece was nice and fluid and the close shots all worked really well together.
Thank you so much for the comment and compliment. I'm new to this thing so all this attention just blew me away!
Amazing intro,
the light effects are great
the colors are beautiful
well done
was the black framing part of the edit prog or the adapter showing ??
what lens do you use and what adapter ?
any info how you did it will be great
help
thnx
The adapter is an SG Pro from shoot35.com. It provides a more accurate 35mm like bokeh (blur) you don't get from most other adapters. The lenses are all Nikon.. I think mostly an f1.4 50mm here, with an f2.8 135mm being used for the opening shot.
one last thing how did you get the neon lights to stream ..what app did you use .. and what plug in :-)
thanks again
And thanks for liking it. It means a lot to me :D
but now i have to figure out how to do it in fcp or after effects lol .. i use a mac
def works :-)
well done.
Thanks for your work and creating this piece. I just got Vegas last week. It's installed but I haven't really cracked it.
My wife and I were just blown away by the music and with the video, it is a very powerful piece. I have to check out Acid...Whew!
Thank you and the others that put this together. Wonderful. My son, a composer and artist, will see it when he gets home from school today!
Yes, Vegas and Acid are really easy to use, although I cannot say I have mastered all the tricks yet. I am still learning a lot too from my husband hehe. But that's pretty much what we talk about most times these days "How do you ...." :)
Thanks again for the comment. I am happy you liked it, and I hope your son likes it too :)
now ya have me thinking about trying Acid (wait that dosent sound right...lol) to make my own music for videos. Thanks
Overall, clever and enjoyable :-)

I just put them together and did the music :D
I must admit, but it's maybe just me, I had some difficulty to stay tuned on the poem or the visuals at the same time. Text to small? Visuals to predominant? Blake is right: a bit distracting, let's say confusing for the mind. Vignettes aren't realy my thing.
Remember only very good video art will recieve some tune up from the humble me. But be sure: I love it :)
Yes I agree, it must be a case of info-overload, or perhaps my cheeky attempt to force you all to watch this over and over and over again... once for the words, once for the music, once for the visuals... hehe. Yes, I will watch out for that vignetting in my next projects. Awesome advice!
Thank you again :)
Nice little piece of art from both, or should I say you three.
Wo-- 4600 plays - LOL how do u get that? ( I'm overwhelmed and ecstatic with 100 plays LOL)
Très bien nommée.
Bernard

I'll be coming back to this vid a few tims.
Powerful and mesmerizing.
Cheers,
eric.
I'm a little bit sorry, but I dont think the words are that poetic and unique...they are a bit to worn-out to me and trivial. I hope you can handle a comment like this.....

I do not speak English, and forgiveness.
Greetings.
Fantástico el trabajo y la música muy bonita. Los que somos aficionados al vídeo solo nos queda aprender de maestros como ustedes. Gracias por compartir con la comunidad Vimeo.
No hablo ingles, ya perdonaras.
Saludos.
At 2:25 the flags look like the ones at 'Parliament House' in Canberra.
Great job :)
