Hi,
On one of the films that I made, I ended up adding a sequence that I just took while driving. The Super 8 camera on my right hand, swinging and moving around, and the car went over a bump, which was perfectly added to the film, and ended up having the professor state that the conceptual design of the film was excellent ... everyone in the class only did moronic living room scenes or dumb Hitchcock like scenes. I was the only one to show something completely different.
Mine was actually easy, since I used music by Kevin Ayers, and the closing moments (titles) with The Doors ... and when Ray Manzarek would not allow me to use that piece (the one about "has this dream stopped") ... I put the movie aside.
I have wanted to find a band to create that piece of music for me, but the only response I ever got was one band in Santa Barbara that said noone would play Doors stuff, because their management, were nasty!
I have not shown it or done anything with it, although I would like to have it transferred to video, and hopefully the NWFilm Center can do this for me one of these days, so I might get something done.
I got Kevin's permission without any issues ... but the ending was important for me ... becausse it clarified what the film was really about. Kevin's song used was "Once I awakened" and the poem ran to the end, with visuals that aided Mike Oldfield's solo all the way to the end.
I would love to work that piece again ... but I need to find a band that can do what Jim Morrison did on that little piece in "American Prayer".
