The idea being, like the end of Spartacus, where Kirk Douglas is faced with a sea of people who support him and are on his side. Sometimes people forget what they mean to others. That's what the faces do, they make the birthday wishes real. Rather than her opening a card and it's like Being John Malkovich where is just a sea of John Malkovich's face repeated. Quite disturbing! Then at least Joni has the option of playing it through (or not, if she's bored of it after 30 seconds!) , rather than limiting her experience of something that could be special. If it's done well, it could tell its own story. I like the idea of the landscapes too. Either painted (hers) or photos of what means special to us (and you didn't mind it being slightly edited to unify the video) . It's all possible and wouldn't (in theory) need much editing. Just a little storyboarding. And could all be under 5 minutes (should be!). This could be done in a variety of ways. Just photos Photos with quotes on them Photos with sound clips Photos, videos and sound clips. I'm up for it but I'll go with the group decision Jamie Zubairi Actor, Artist, Voiceover, Photographer ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2014 #828 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here:mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe
