Home Life
I have few words at the moment for which I'd like to express. Instead, I'll backtrack a little bit:
(because the video quality is so poor, below are all the words in their respective order that are not legible at the bottom of the video window)
•g. q. productions presents...
•Home LIFE
•I sometimes want to go far away to study life on Earth...
•However, today I realized that I don't really have to travel far...
•For beyond the walls of my own home
•There is life
•and it continues with or without me.
•From the ground
•to the sky
•things are born
•and some things die.
•there is so much to discover
•and behind most things
•there is beauty.
•can you see it?

This was a video I made about two years ago, I believe; not quite sure. I remember renting a camera from the Tech Library and simply feeling the urge to run the camera. I usually have an idea in my mind of what I want to accomplish but of course there is always room for error yet more importantly, more imagination.
I like to think of this as a sample of what I would like to do in my life: Show a different perspectives of persons, places, and things.
I absolutely love matching music with video footage as I firmly believe that music makes all the difference in a film of any kind. I give my praises to Andrew Bird and his band for their wonderfully inspiring music.

Poem from NHH
Why the Turtle Walks Slow
Why does the turtle walk so slow?
Because he as a lot of time and nowhere to go.
Oh.
Why don’t we walk slow?
Because we’re on auto.
Oh.
Where are we to go?
…I don’t know
A little background info on this poem:
I tried to set up a scene where a older man and a boy (possibly grandfather and grandson) were talking (possibly during a visit to the zoo but I really don't like zoos). I battled over whether or not to use the correct form of the adverb 'slowly' rather than 'slow' because it bothers me that one might read this and think I don't know simple grammar but after about 5 minutes from posting this to the blog, I figured what the hell- authors don't have to explain why they've made any certain move in their work (even though I somewhat did). I suppose it helps to impart some juvenility in the questions.
If one wants to turn off the music I have set for my blog, simply scroll to the bottom to find the media player.
