Merry Christmas Julie. Thanks for the wonderful Christmas present. The video will make an excellent watch for Christmas Day. I'll be watching it several times. You put in a lot of hard word and I really appreciate it. Stay safe and Happy New Year
Julie, Happy New Year. Late as usual. Lol. Hope you had wonderful and safe holidays. No more fake falls, you're far to talented and must continue your work. I love watching all your work. You truly do an amazing job. Looking forward seeing you in Hollywood. Your costume work is excellent and beautiful. I really do enjoy this story. It's simple and fresh. Must have been exhausting to complete. Very excellent work and a lot of dedication. You're so talented and keep getting better. This is one of your best. Thanks for this remarkable gift at this time of year. Its very cold in the USA and well enjoy watching over and over. I'm sure you need a break but what is up next in that brilliant mind of yours? Thanks again and stay safe and healthy.
Thank you, I'm wishing you a happy new year as well :) I'm currently editing another film, but since that one will be more of a shortfilm I'll likely finish it way sooner. Apart from that, I don't really have all that much planned yet. I'll be doing some more poetry again, maybe more Shakespeare as well. Once again, I am super happy that you liked this film, hopefully you'll enjoy the next one as well.
(Potential spoilers to follow, if you've not finished, read no further.) Magnificent work and no mistake; I've probably said this before in other videos, but the level of improvement from the time of 'The Fool's Journey' (which was impressive enough in its own right) is considerable indeed; not just in terms of editing and nifty effects, but the standard of your acting is impeccable in this film, and you have great chemistry with yourself... (I am hilarious)... which in practice ultimately makes the tale all the more heart-rending. Even having read the script the tragedy of it struck true. Daphne and Phoebe, towards the end, kind of give the impression of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Each one is so much defined by their wants and natures that the other ultimately becomes anathema to them, and bound together as they are by their friendship, they ultimately curse each other, and all for utterly human (or fairy) reasons. That's better writing than I can pull off, I'll gloomily admit. It's a curious thing indeed that Daphne cursed Phoebe for what she did, and rightly so to no small degree, and yet the first thing she does upon being freed is to do the exact same thing as Phoebe did... though, of course, the context is slightly different. Recompense rather than theft. At the same time though, are Phoebe's so surprising? Effectively banished to the woods with an eternity of pointless tasks and the scorn of her peers to endure, it's hardly surprising she snapped. I do wonder if Daphne's experience of the woods would ultimately turn out the same way. On the technical side of things, the effects made for impressive sights, and wisely were not overused; each serving the story. My favourite is Daphne's finger-troubles during her tree-ification, as well as Polyxo's entrance which was marvellously creepy. Also, as ever, the lighting, the costumes, the music, work marvellously. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but for the time being I'll end by saying that was well worth the wait, and made for an especially fine watch around the witching hour, as seemed proper. Nice, nice and thrice nice.
Thank you so much, I'm beyond happy you enjoyed it☺️ It's good to hear that all of the efforts paid off. Have to admit that I'm guilty of having a not so small Daphne bias, but you are right about her viewing the faerie world through rose coloured glasses and having the tendency to lack consideration. Fascinating how other's impressions can change the way you look at your own story, I certainly appreciate it. I like the way everyone experiences a story in a different way and how there are always multiple ways to look at and interpret things. And once again, thanks for this amazing comment.
