clubbedougan Group: Members Posts: 24 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Dec. 22 2003, 11:43 I have recently purchased a Canon XM1 Camera for myself and was hoping to do some small-time videos with it. One project in particular I wanted to try was making a video for Ommadaw(part 1), clearly this would only be for myself and wouldn't be distributed. I have some good ideas with snow and such as I believe the song works with that. Has anyone got an idea for such a video? Thanks, Michael. -------------- Where will we go when we grow old?

I have no ideas yet for Part One, but I have an idea for Part Two. A man is living in the city, but he can't stand the noise and clatter (accordion and electric guitars). So he moves out to the country and finally gets peace (acoustic guitar and bagpipe). Then he realizes that the country is too quiet for him and decides to move to a bumpkin town (acoustic bass). There he lives happily ever after. As you may have noticed, I left out On Horseback, only because I never thought of is as part of Part Two, even though my record includes it in the track time.

It starts : Once upon a time in a lush green land lived a young girl who found herself outdoors walking through tall, dew-soaked grass in the soft, not-quite-light of pre-dawn. As she wandered her way up and down low hills, she came upon a ghostly merry-go-round spinning in absolute silence with no riders on the horses and no passengers in the seats.... -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
