Great Delaware Kite Festival 2012 | Forever Lucky Films on Vimeo:

Feeling stressed?  Work got you down?  I've got just the ticket.  Watch kites float.   Listen to a lullaby.   Pour some Earl Grey in a ceramic cup with a saucer.  Munch on a chocolate biscotti and chill out.

Things That Inspire Us

Terrance Malick is a favorite artist of mine.  His films inspire similar times.  Thoughts. Nature.   He's inspired a whole generation of directors, unfortunately those directors don't get the budgets or hype that most, but still create wonderful films that deserve some praise.  One director is Australian Andrew Dominik.    A few years back he directed the under appreciated film The Assassination of Jessee James.  Leave it to an Aussie to capture the beautiful contours of America's vast and open landscape of the 19th century.   Here are two of my favorite scenes from the film.

The first is the films opening.  Narrated by Hugh Ross it sets the atmosphere for what's to come.


Then the even more beautifully shot Money Train sequence. You have to go to the link as embedding was disabled for this.

New Opportunities.

Things are shifting slowly at the studio.  We may be looking at a late spring opening of our gallery.  Perhaps.   Have a number of meetings for weddings this week but also a bunch of commercial work as well.  Details and video to follow....

Anything to Avoid doing my Taxes.

This video falls into the category of a side side side projects.  One part Walt Whitman.  Two Parts Video.

Walt Whiman's inspiration poem Song of the Open Road was the catalyst for this video. I edited it down considerably.   It's a must read pre-road trip.

Sofitel Wedding | Alison & Dan | Forever Lucky Films

Getting unedited footage in the mail is like Christmas for me. Especially with the beautiful locations and talented filmmakers behind the camera like Tom and Jen Mattera. Alison and Dan's wedding started with a First Look at the Radnor Hotel, before shifting to the grand church at Villanova then culminating with a end-of-year reception at the dapper Sofitel Hotel.

For the video, I was drawn to M83's Midnight City and the lyrics that go with it.  They're simple but intertwine wildly with the video.

Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
The night city grows
Look and see her eyes, they glow

Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
Drinking in the lounge
Following the neon signs
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/m83-midnight-city-lyrics.html ]
Waiting for a roar
Looking at the mutating skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in the sparkling twilight

Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for the right time
Waiting in a car
Waiting for a ride in the dark
