Here are the results of my toiling away on Hugh's Imac (my 13" screen macbook was just not suited for such a project).
Since I didn't see the hype in the original version of Grey Gardens, I decided to make my own versions.
I think that I envisioned making trailors for two different twists on Grey Gardens, but they ended up being very short films in themselves.
I uploaded these as very small files, mostly because I was thinking of Carmel on her iphone trying to watch them on the go... if she's even following me, that is. Oh, well! Here goes:
First, a horror movie! I call it Beware of Mother.
It wasn't that difficult to find footage and audio that communicated distress and created tension. It was mostly a matter of dramatizing it, and mixing the audio and visuals in an interesting way. It was good fun!
Second, a love story between mother and daughter.
This was more difficult to create. There was a lot less footage to work with in terms of both of these chicks looking happy- ESPECIALLY the mother Edith. However, I think that I've captured almost all of the high points in the film.
I wasn't sure what order to show these in, but I got the advice that it's always good to end on a high note. So I leave you with warm fuzzy feelings all over!
I call it The Girls of Grey Gardens.
