A rather gentle music video focused on David Tennant, the 10th Doctor, and mixed companions. Annie Lennox's "Angels in the Snow" for Dr Who.
Annie Lennox is one of the truly great mezzo sopranos/contralto’s in recording history.
She’s that good.
Agree with you completely. Her voice sends the good chills down your back.
Wibbly wobbly timey whimey stuff.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bkmk
My teenaged daughters were fond of David Tennant. They haven’t like the ones since, as much.
Your music videos are a cool hobby.
Matt Smith did grow on me, but your daughters have really good taste.
I taught making these for years. Basically, take the lyrics of a song that make you think, however fuzzily, of a TV show. Then let them sit and stew in your brain. If one show seems like it might handle it, concentrate there. If not, divide into logical segments and run various verses or choruses through different shows.
You won’t remember a lot about a show, but you’ll be surprised how much you CAN remember. To the right of the lyrics, describe scenes you remember that interpret those words.
Look for clever ways you can change the meaning of a word that gets repeated a lot. Remember, this is a literary game, not a strictly visual one.
Verses and choruses form patterns, which means you can create the same underlying structure that you do when you’re writing a short story. The same use of flashbacks, or flash forwards. I call them Literary Music Videos.
When you’re done with the exercise, you can actually “see” the video playing in your head, even when you don’t use editing equipment to actually create the video. That is a very exciting moment.
I had a good friend who loved my videos and went off to CalTech and taught his students my style of working and then brought their efforts back to show me. THEY WERE WONDERFUL! He was a great teacher with really great students. I just finished digitizing a bunch of other people’s videos for a research institution and came across those videos. American Pie for Thelma and Louise; Our House for The Simpsons.
I didn’t invent the form, but I’m one of the earliest vidmakers (1986) and, certainly, the most prolific (over 700 vids). I believe the wikis refer to me as old school because I don’t play with much in the way of special effects. I think effects get in the way of the storytelling, and that’s what I’m always trying to get across. But they also label a class of music videos with my name. When I gave a talk on them at MIT Media Lab, someone asked someone else what they thought about the form now that they’d seen them. Whether they were art or not. The gentleman said that he now considered them high art, which pleased me intensely.
That is really neat. It combines a lot of media: words, music, image, character. What a fun thing to do!
Try it!!!! You can do it right at your computer!
I do not have the technical ability. I have enough trouble running my email and FR.
Lots of wonderful female vocalists in our past, no sense in spending the next 20 years arguing who was the best........LOL!
Her version of Waiting In Vain is astounding.
L
You mean like a storyboard: “this scene” plus “this music”?
Bigly.
I think I have all her albums. Love, love her work.
Thanks, I’ll have a look.
Adore her albums. She is one of the few rock artists whose music I continue to play into my old age. I saw her live in Philly in a tiny club before she became a megastar, with Dave Stewart.
