Down in the Park - A Journey through Video
 

So I have been meaning to post some of this footage for quite some time. But, I wanted to take a moment to assemble it first. That required me first getting a new computer. Then I needed free time, blah blah.

I basically had some video I shot on my little Flip camera at a LoT meet at the park around Christmas last year. It includes some particularly good footage of tall Matt and shots of many of the regulars.

So allow me to present, my crappy little montage.

That's awesome!

Where can one purchase the soundtrack?

Cool!

It captures that day in its entirety, and I remember it particularly well. The soundtrack is oddly suitable, and I like how it remains linear even as you play with the chronology. Especially liked the effect just before the zoetrope begins, and how psychedelic that sequence was, returning to normalcy by focusing on the expressions on our faces as the animation stilled and we remained delighted.

From us parading through the park to the looks on people's faces as they comprehended (or failed to comprehend) Matt's presence, from entering Small World to rollicking through Big Thunder, from zoetrope to dinner, from the gorgeous shot of the castle to our happy dinnertime expressions and the HAND ON LENS / THE END, it was a fun and lovely video quilt reminder of that day in history. Thank you!

I like how I was replaced by a walkie talkie...neat effect.

Oh, that was awesome. Really and truly.:)

Now, I really and truly miss you all- April can't get here soon enough.

Thanks, NM!

That's one of my favorite Gary Numan songs - who is this cover version by?

Nice video! I'm glad that I can recognize quite a few of you by now.

Thanks all.

The music is a cover of "Down in the Park" by Marilyn Manson.

Ah! That should have been obvious now that you say it. <going to iTunes to download MM version of "Down In The Park">

I loved it!
