Peter, I would very much like to know how to set up an audio visual to run on my website as per yours, apparently using You Tube.

I hope that you now have a site with such facilities, Len. John Beecroft-Mitchell will have let you know the secrets ny now, I’m sure.

Wierd, wierd, wierd. Not at all what I was expecting from the 1st AV I looked at from you.
Colin

Thanks for watching and listening I would not like to provide exactly what you may be “expecting”

I just watched 4 shows. Very strange. Not what I was expecting from an expert. Too much art not enough image.
Colin

Thanks again for the comments, Colin; maybe we have different expectations from AV. What I sometimes see in the name of AV is more like turning the pages of a picture book set to music which often does not even seem appropriate. If I want that sort of “entertainment” I turn to a picture book and/or play a CD,

Hi Peter,

Your audio visuals are beautiful to watch and I love the way you have added voice to them. This results in a sensuous and evocative presentation. I love the way you were able to blend so very dissimilar images from different photographers into a beautiful presentation of ‘Fragile Earth’. Done Beautifully.

Just as you have mastered the art of storytelling by slowing down and leaving pauses between sentences, I think that you might apply this skill to the images, perhaps removing some in order to leave time for the eye to focus on one before transitioning to the next.

If you would like more people to view your AV’s, put in as many search terms as you can for each video. I suggest you put in popular topics such as Christmas, art, needlework, trees, shells and so forth, anything that is in your images that people may try to find.

Overall, I think that you are a true artist and this is great work. Congratulations.

Regards,
Ruth

Many thanks for this valuable comment.
Yes, I do understand what you are telling me about the visuals; however, I am not all that interested in pleasing photographers who seem to need to look carefully at an image for longer periods of time than I intend. My intent is the audiovisual poem as a whole, which sometimes would be damaged by lingering too long examining images.

Just watched Essence. Beautiful images of the shore slowly changing as they do with the tides but as you say - not all!

Why do we have this need to make connections, I wonder.

As with all of Peter’s Sequences, I will need to watch it again - just for the pleasure of it!

Thanks, Joan. I don’t think I shall change it much now. I did make a 3.21 version which is sent off to the 321 event.

Like your Betjamanesque voice over

As I quite liked the guy, I’ll take that as a compliment. So thanks. Some folk may wish more of my poems were as light as his though!

Striped Pajamas - Absolutely superb balance of story, music and visuals! If the words were missing we’d have nothing. Without music there’d be no continuity. As for the visuals, just the right tone of darkness to bring across a tale of how a friendship endured against all odds.
Beautiful. Inspirational. Will watch the others now. Thank you for your efforts.

Many thanks for your kind comments. If you ever want any of these Sequences in 1024 x 768 definition, just say so and I will send them to you.
