RE: Oak Grove Farm video

Good morning Alan

Words are all I have… “a Simply Fantastic Digivid

Tony Cox is the only musician I have ever done marketing for, and I did it for free, so you see, Divine Justice plays its hand…

Thank you very much, I shall start sending it around the world for comments.

I will talk to you soon.

Hi Philippa and Bruce


Here's your storyboard, script, soundtrack and video - take 1...


From the roughly 90 useable shots, these are the best ones according to the storyboard I eventually went with. In order for it not to be the Philippa Movie, I tried to mix it up as much as possible. However, you are the character in the first shot coming back from your walk into frame and leading the viewer past the farm houses in an anti-clockwise direction.


The story from then on continues as per your brochure. I don't know if you want to mention the names of the various houses, but as usual space, pace and time are factors, and there is a lot to describe. Maybe the title - Oak Grove Farm Stanford could expand to have the names underneath.


Bruce's point of not moving the camera and letting the contents do the moving worked really well I think. The quality seems really good for the file size on my end. Maybe the titles could be bigger, but they are legible at 100% on your software viewer.


The sounds are a combo of bird sounds off my camera mic and Tony Cox's new intro to "You asked for it". He's given me verbal permission to use his music for "whatever I like", and I have, so no worries.


Looking forward to your reply.


Regards


Alan
