3. Waiting (Off My Chest)
1 year ago
For months I've been taping reflections in water and some of the shots made it to this video I created to a spoken word piece by Elisabeth Warren. The poem "Waiting" appears to be about having to sign papers to put parents on life support should the need arise but as you will hear, it goes into so much more.
I felt a cinematic approach to the track was in order when I first heard the spoken word and treated it like a conversation from a telephone or answering machine. I did the track 5 months ago. The visuals came more recently.

However, it gets somewhat hard on the ear after a bit, I have to strain to catch the words.
Maybe if the transition to "real" is very gradual, you won't lose the feeling which is established in the beginning...
But then again... do stick to your guns and your artistic vision. Its good work.
I loved this. I think the music was perfect and I actually liked the voice of the poem.
I'd love to do something like this with Anne Sexton's "Music Swims Back To Me." It would have to be full of haunting images though, imo.
"Imagine it. A radio playing
and everyone here was crazy.
I liked it and danced in a circle.
Music pours over the sense
and in a funny way
music sees more than I."
That would have to be visually haunting...especially knowing that she mentally tortured herself for so long.
Great creative work! Thanks for sharing this with me - I am inspired.
Excellent work my dear! Excellent!
i love love love the reflection shots. and of course the sound is amazing.
One thing that I do know is that water fascinates me, I love reflections and light, and your techniques have their parenthood entrenched in love. When these qualities combine, as when crafted by yourself, the result is an art form in its own right.
In this instance, I can view this video and appreciate the presentation without having to create a novel in order to express my thoughts.
Trust me Maria, bullshit is definitely not on my menu, life is far too short for such a time-wasting activity, what you read in this comment is what I genuinely feel.
May your board keep clapping, and your reels never be still.
Best regards.
Thanks for ths video!
I loved your visual poem!
