Whenever I am about to sit down for an editing session, I first put on a movie or music that will help set the tone and move me in the way I need to feel creative. Today, I was working on an editorial and stumbled across this song that randomly hit my playlist.
It reminded me just how much I enjoyed the movie Crash and that maybe tomororw, I'll find my way home. (Not a big fan of the video, but after watching the movie, it is a beautiful tone to end on.)
Thunderstruck.... is there a better song anywhere to get you pumped up? I think not! I love what Luca has done as he put his own style on beautifully performed music. Utterly fantastic!
Now, excuse me while I go break out my DVD copies of Last of the Mohicans and Varsity Blues!
Sure, coming up with a great idea, a great song, a great style is always wonderful. Originality always rocks. But, sometimes, seeing it reinvented is even more so as you capture not only the magic of the original but the beauty of evolution and the life it takes on long after the original has faded.
Case in point? Go to Youtube and search for 'Selfies on Kodachrome'. Do it. Do it NOW!
What you will find is the most delicious array of musical recreations that will keep you smiling and tapping your toes for hours!
Okay... I could go on all day posting these videos. I love them all!
