Unsubtlety

is not subtle.

Pictures + Music + Memories = Movie April 27, 2009

A quick explanation: This is the first video I’ve made. I used iMovie, because I am fortunate + smart enough to have a Mac. The photos I took at my grandparents place, just before both of them died suddenly, only five weeks apart. Most of them are in a former post, if you care to read about those horrible months. Their favorite song was Amazing Grace, which was fitting for their undying dedication to our God + Savior. It was the last song played at both of their funerals just before the formal ceremony started. The music is three tracks of myself playing cello: one on the melody line, one on bowed root of chord, and one with double stop pizzicato.

This month would have been their 60th wedding anniversary. I got the idea to make this movie as a present for my mom and got the opportunity to do it when I had to take a day off to get a skin biopsy for cancer testing.

There is no coincidence in any of this. And I’d like to thank Apple for making it so easy to do.
