You should approach SCN or somebody for funding to do a bunch of these.Gerald Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252429320186782729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10177155.post-6044399708782412862007-12-10T23:16:00.000-06:002007-12-10T23:16:00.000-06:00Thanks, A!

We were birdwatching when he got this. We were putting along in the car, birding by ear, and heard a bird we wanted to check out, so we stopped. That's when we noticed the rabbit.<BR/><BR/>From the get-go we decided to follow certain constraints for these videosonnets, just as you and I did when we did the homolinguistic translations. Given the average raw video time, we decided a sonnet is the perfect length, and a Shakespearean sonnet would be the rule. Once I view the raw video, I set about writing a sonnet that speaks with it in some way. Of course, as has long been the case with me, my sonnets have a limerick-like tone. My apologies to the real sonnet writers out there. :) I then record a reading of the sonnet. H takes the audio and edits the video and marries the two. It's a fun exercise.Brenda Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576550905189206215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10177155.post-69331297040456828622007-12-10T22:02:00.000-06:002007-12-10T22:02:00.000-06:00Well, I'm impressed.Well, I'm impressed.Ariel Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879719960202249424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10177155.post-52467127350605050892007-12-09T20:44:00.000-06:002007-12-09T20:44:00.000-06:00Familiar? :)Familiar? :)Brenda Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576550905189206215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10177155.post-32949849696232307182007-12-09T20:22:00.000-06:002007-12-09T20:22:00.000-06:00Scenery ??????Scenery<BR/><BR/> ??????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10177155.post-56861252160896367852007-12-09T18:11:00.000-06:002007-12-09T18:11:00.000-06:00Ha!
