I'll Follow You Tonight
Caught by what comes by
Stand alone without a fair chance tonight
Here again by your side when
They turn on all the lights
Yes I’ll follow you tonight

Using white lies if we have to
It’s easy to forgive and forget it all tomorrow
I just pass by you, pass by me
My last way out and worst mistake tonight
Lying lips won't say my eyes give me away
Won't you please turn out the light
And I’ll follow you tonight

I’ll follow you tonight
The worst mistake to make
Or just the kind of promise you simply have to break
So please turn out the lights
And I’ll follow you to any doorstep, any hallway
With hope of finding more
Not feel shallow not get bored
And find it useless, feeling meaningless
And just as low as I was high the night before

The worst mistake to make
Or just the kind of promise you simply have to break
So please turn out the lights
And I’ll follow you tonight

Oh! Oh... Oh, my goodness, that was so beautiful! You absolutely captured everything that is so lovely and heartbreaking and heartwarming and TRUE about this film. I love how you establish Zach's universe in the first 40 seconds before setting up the romantic issues at the center of the vid (and the film), with Zach constantly on the move and the collage of flowing images of his world moving around and through him as he skates and drives and surfs and works so hard at life. And when I say "flowing" I want to say it, like, twenty times, because that's what this opening does: the music is like rippling water, the content of the clips includes clear water lapping at the camera and a certain translucent quality in the light in a lot of the shots that suggests water here, you use the bob and glide of Zach skateboarding *mdash; it's fantastic! This is his whole world and it's what he draws on for the subjects of his art, and the way you have him moving through this world, it feels like how he sees and experiences it. What a great start to a great vid! Thank you!!!

Thank you ever so much. This is the first time I've really focused on emotion when working on a vid, so I'm ever so glad that it worked. The opening collage section was incredibly organic and fun to put together, so I'm glad you liked that too, and that I was able to tie it in to the rest of the vid.

I just watched the movie this weekend, and when I mentioned it to renenet she said "Oh, there's a really good vid for that movie!" So I made her give me the link, and now I'm just pointing and nodding at everything she says in this comment, because -- yes, yes, exactly! I love the flow of images, the integration of Zach's family and his art, the sweetness of the whole thing. And the line "just the kind of promise you simply have to break," especially in conjunction with the clips of Zach and Tori, *really* moved me.

Also, I am so happy that there's already a terrific vid for this movie, because now I don't have to make one. :D

Thank you ever so much. It's such a sweet movie, and there's such a gorgeous, sweeping feel to the movie itself -- I'm so glad that I managed to capture that for you.

Also, I am so happy that there's already a terrific vid for this movie, because now I don't have to make one. :D
But you want to make one, don't you? Lovely movies deserve many lovely vids! I would love to see what you'd do with it.

Ahaha -- I do kinda want to vid the movie, and a couple of days ago I was even in love with a potential vidsong, except it turns out the song actually doesn't work at all. Oops? But now that I have the movie in the back of my mind, I'll be testing everything I hear to see whether it might work. So who knows!
