I am no writer, and I don’t feel particularly proud of my previous, halting attempts to describe the Mount Hagen show. I am certainly not a videographer, but I am strangely proud of this:
By the way, the “less respectful” part of the video is due to the choice of the music. The chanting, singing, stamping and drum beating was utterly mesmeric but nigh on impossible to capture cleanly with my little Olympus. As a result I wrestled long and hard with the choice of soundtrack – something appropriately tribal but geographically incorrect? Something vaguely electronic but appropriately rhythmic? Cop out with something abstract? Lucy finally came to the rescue (as she so often does) by suggesting the song we used. So wrong, it’s right. Right?
It made me smile when you pan the camera around and, “Whoa! There’s Lucy!”
Sounds like a grand time, you two! Take care
Finally hooked the big TV up to t’internet stuff, so this was first on the queue of Watch Later YouTube stuff.
Perfect song and wonderful video editing 🙂
