DESCRIPTION:
From the Martial Arts Trilogy album.
This video took a while to come up because I started listening to music from this album and wanted to do something visually with China as a theme. I wasn't able to find what I was looking for, and the music is very tied to scenes from the movies these songs are from. I couldn't help but think that I would be doing the movie a disservice by associating it with different images.
But while I've seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I haven't seen The Banquet and so for me this is how I picture the song in my mind.
I originally thought of working on Claire De Lune but I couldn't find images that I felt were appropriate. I didn't want timelapses with the moon in the background or surface images of the moon from satellites either. When I started using this footage with that song it didn't really fit so I will shelve that one for another day.
Rolling waves on the beaches seem pretty relaxing and I think it makes for a nice daydream.
