Unofficial video for My Girls off Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009)

Most of the footage comes from 3 documentaries:

-Picture of Light (1994)

-Rivers and Tides (2001)

-Bodysong (2003)

I also sampled clips from archive.org and the 1939 Jean Renoir film "The Rules of the Game."

Good vid. Your real aurora borealis beats my screensaver aurora borealis any day. And the stutter cuts with the explosion is tight too. Easy Rider style. I coulda done without the text. Except for the Adobe logo—that made me crack up. :D

Hi Rob

nice video. it brings up interesting questions about copyright and use of images - i worked on Bodysong (one of the films you have used a lot of clips from) for a year as one of a team of researchers, sourcing and clearing all the footage for use in that film. even though your piece is non-commercial i think it would have been respectful both to the filmmakers behind Bodysong and the Goldsworthy piece (and the others) to acknowledge your sources. If you want to know the stories behind some of the many clips you have used, head over to bodysong.com
