To watch video on Gather
you need the latest Macromedia Flash Player software.
Would you like to install it now?
A montage of clips and photographs set to Janis Ian's Love is Blind, a beautiful song that made the top of the charts in Japan in 1976, and has since been relegated to a small fan base and dusty racks where old albums lie. . . I was bored, and I was having fun. I tried to get the timing exactly right, so leave comments! Please respond intelligently, whether you like it or not. Also, a correction: I got the video clips from www.stockfootageforfree.com - totally remembered that wrong! :)

Nice mix of static and kinetic pics. I'm not understanding the "mob noises" duirng the credits. A little distressing after Janis' song...
Ylanne Sorrows Oct 18, 2009, 1:11pm EDT
I, um, couldn't think of anything better for the credits, and kind of wanted to see how that would sound. :)
Debra C. Oct 18, 2009, 7:22pm EDT
I'll question the mob, too -- though I suppose credits do seem like that sometimes.

I took the time to view the video. I never knew music could be so sad.
Ylanne Sorrows Oct 18, 2009, 1:11pm EDT
Thank you! :) I love Janis Ian's music. . . so beautiful.

Some of the photos belong to Darius Kowalski, from his art project "Interrogation Room" earlier this same year. Just remembered! :)

beautiful music and voice she has.

Absolutely beautiful. On dial up I can't get it all to download, but what I could see and hear, was just awesome. Great job!

That's so sad.
Debra C. Oct 18, 2009, 7:22pm EDT
I always loved Janis' music ... and the video you put with it is a great thinking point for this song.
Ylanne Sorrows Oct 18, 2009, 8:25pm EDT
Yes, I love Janis's music! It's absolutely beautiful. :) And thank you for the compliment!

That is such a beautiful song ... even tho sad ... her voice is soothing ... the compilation of stills and video was well thought out and put together very nicely ... I will say the mob cries at the end weren't well placed ... it might have worked tho if you had softened them so that they didn't over-power the lingering effect of the song.

Janis's song "At 17" was a great story song and she kept that style a long time.
This video is good and you did a great job of editing it.
The mix of stills and video works well....
