This is a short version containing only the action shots, as requested.

The music is played on my Yamaha 680 keyboard, which was also requested.

So by request, I present Monkey Forest Quick Clips.

    YESSSSSSSSS! Now this is really fun which is what monkey's are about and this is just how I envisioned it-- action shots and lively music! So now you have the other cut which is the directors cut and this cut the editors cut! Excellent job Keen.

    Brilliant Keen, specially like the monkey "conducting" from 55 to 1.05 secs.
  • Keen Johns 1 year ago
    A warm welcome to Vimeo Peck from this neck of the woods.

    I just love the conductor too, did you notice that when he broke the baton, he gave up and walked away.

    Also I like the part at the end, when mum (or Aunt) breaks up the fight by grooming one of the juveniles, and the smaller one starts to groom the other one of the trio. On the full video, a male comes along and places a hand on the back of a playful youngster, as if to say 'calm down lad'.

    p.s. Sorry these parts I mentioned are in the main video. Got carried away there for a moment.

    Spot on, just the ticket - bet you enjoyed your "rainy day" re-edit and music making.
  • Keen Johns 1 year ago
    It was only a matter of pulling the original file too pieces and re-writing the intro, so that part was easy.

    I got to the Yamaha and tried to create something lively, but was not satisfied that I could match the general tempo of the visuals.

    The nearest I got was a rendering of a four legged friend in bluegrass style, which I intend to send to ARTinu later this week.

    I hate my own playing generally, but at the time of playing I can get what I call a 'release' from the activity, just occasionally.

    We are probably going to MD tomorrow (Wednesday 3rd) for the weekly event. Perhaps we could meet so that I can give you this video file, or perhaps leave it somewhere for you.

    Get back to me on this please.

    Many thanks for planting the initial the idea for this 'quick clips' version, which has sent Maria almost orgasmic, bless her.

    Well it looks as if it is back to the waterside for the camera now for a while, back to peace and tranquility, I may even capture the Carp play-fighting with the Moorhen... You never know.

    Keen, I'm off out in a minute to see how the Moreton Saye moorhens are doing - if I can get some footage of them in the rain, in good light, perhaps even with a rainbow back-drop that would be excellent.

    I'll send you a personal message later regarding tomorrow's meet...

    All the best, Fourmoors.
  • Keen Johns 1 year ago
    Thanks Fourmoors.

    Wouldn't a rainbow just add that magic ingredient!

    No rainbow, but I did get some shots of heavy rain drops on the pond next to one of the adults...
