HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RICHARD ARMITAGE WITH A VIDEO

This is the second home-made video I uploaded on my utube channel. It is a real family product: I planned, designed and chose the scenes to put in the clip and my husband was my very precious and personal software expert. We spent a few evenings watching, cutting and pasting scenes of BBC Robin Hood from all the 3 series with the beginning of the audiobook THE WITCHFINDERS, read by Richard Armitage. I even dreamt of Guy of Gisborne at night due to the overexposure or overdose. Wasn't my husband jelous? If he was or is, he doesn't give any exterior sign of that! So, this is the final result. Not perfect, but a good one for beginners, I think.
And since today it's Richard Armitage's birthday it is meant as a small humble gift, if not to him, to all his admirers (he hates the word fans).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!!!

I didn't know how to start this letter and now I don't know how to end it...

This afternoon my husband and I were working on our first videoclip. A home - made video clip resulted from an idea of mine and his ability with this kind of cutting and pasting software. Let's start from my idea: I wanted to unite images from the movie SYLVIA (2003) - have a look at my previos post LIFE WAS TOO SMALL TO CONTAIN HER - with Richard Armitage's reading of Ted Hughes's letters. Then have a look at the clip and ... it is the result of my husband's skills.

Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were two of the greatest poets of the 20th century. They were married but their relationship was never easy. They split up and, after writing her best poems, Sylvia killed herself. She was only 30. Ted Hughes wrote to Sylvia's mother after some time from her suicide. Can you imagine his sense of guilt? How difficult could it be to write such a letter? It's extremely moving. Get ready to shiver...
