AV News 178 - November 2009
Audibly I was now
almost there but
how to visualise
this poem was
quite a challenge
as apart from a
brief glimpse of a
greengrocer's shop
it was all set in a
café.
As I did not want to
have familiar faces;
I used images of a
couple of friends
from Austria at the
beginning and the
hands and feet of
two other friends for
the café shots.
So far so good,
but it still was not
complicated enough
to keep me amused,
so I introduced a
flower and proceeded
to remove one petal from the flower progressively throughout the sequence,
with the "he loves me, he loves me not" theme.
The most fun was
the end, Perhaps,
perhaps, perhaps.
Doris Day's three
final words worked
like a charm for my
imagination and the
final image of a baby
ended the sequence
with a warm happy
feeling, albeit an
unlikely dream.
