An attractive woman running through the woods works, too.

I did that ... but she was walking, and it made it look sexier, I guess and her long hair flowed in the wind ... perfect morning for it, too!
 
I called the film "Black Nails" ... and it was a project I did at UCSB, that I did not have a chance to finish as I was really sick in bed for a week during that final week of the class, when I would have cut and spliced the film. It's washed out now, but I will see if I can get NWFilm folks to transfer that to mp4 or something, so I can maybe work it again.
 
The lady had very long fhair and it flowed out becautifully, and she was tall ... and in the wind with what looked like a nightgown (white dress actually) ... in the distance, coming out of the dark woods ... and into the "park" or "light" ... comes the start of the Kevin Ayers piece "Once I Awakened" and it's words were "literal" in the visuals. She walks up her "boyfriend" and the wind is blowing harder behind their faces, and when he screams "get out of my dream" ... she disappears ... and here I did a 360 to try and "find her" and she wasn't there, and then the camera moved up to the sky where I planeed on closing the shot, and an airplane is in the distance going up up and away ... and I kept it and then decided to keep it to the end of the music.
 
There was a quick drum "shot" break in it, and I used my friend Tom Payne at the time to do that, and super-imposed it on the film, and yeah ... this was my first "music video".
 
The sad end of it all? Ray Manzarek did not even want to see the movie to allow me to use the Jim Morrison scream at the end, that said ... "has this dream stopped?" ...
 
I have not yet, transformed this into a video format, but I have seen the film and it has washed out and I am not sure that I can correct or fix it ... but I would like to get it out ... as a nice example of what I can do. The hard part is that the "lyrics" have to light it up for me, which kinda means that me doing a video for someone and invent an idea off ... whatever ... is not something that I can do very well. I can "flow" with "what is here and now" ... and that is when I film the best ... I may have an idea along the way, but generally, something else is there that is even more useful to the whole thing ... and this is one of the reasons why I say that a visualist with a band would also help the music ... despite what many say here!

Nothing, after realising that the real sweet plink plop that was syncopating against the groove I had going was a real plink plop of dripping water.

But in answer to the OPQ Mostly my own, occasionally with a lyricist and a couple of other guitarists.  No it costs me and not just cash.

Only if you tell me what FFMO means.

Isn't that kind of redundant - you have to be a member to post, no ?

Therein lies the rub.

Which is an anagram for Be Herein Lie Truths. Spooky huh ?

I'm doing RAP and Metal - too genres as far from what I like as possible.  I just happen to like the guys who are doing the songs.

Yikes!  Metal I could certainly tolerate, but I couldn't handle Rap - I'm only interested in music genres personally.  (Hehe...)

My usual  . . . CRAP!
