Status: Still wired and so satisfied
Today, Danielle and I went out to the cemetery to get establishing and filler shots. She helped me a ton with all of it and I think we got some good footage. There's an awesome macro feature on the camera, which leads to some great flower shots with zoom. Yay
And then, Lizy and I saw Clint Mansell and the Sonus Quartet...
First of all, the venue was fantastic. It was the Union Church, which is an older church and it was just big enough to fit a good number of people but it felt so intimate. There wasn't a bad seat in the house.
And they had someone really interesting introducing Clint Mansell
Darren Aronofsky.
Yeah. Holy shit, right?
His loverly lady, Rachel Weisz couldn't be there because she had a show to do (A Streetcar Named Desire). But, he was there. And he was glorious.
So, after that, Clint Mansell and the quartet played a collection of songs from some of the movies he's composed for (Pi, The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Moon, and a 10-minute documentary I didn't catch the name of). Seriously, hearing Death is the Road to Awe and Lux Aeterna live was the beyond-words kind of beautiful. And they did a version of Together We Will Live Forever that had violin and cello parts added. I thought I loved the straight piano, but with the added strings, it was enough to make me tear up.
Seriously one of the best nights I've had here so far.
And then I ended the night with a Big Mac, some fries, and high-fructose-corn-syrup-free Coke. Yum yum yum.
Pip pip, cherrio and all that rot! G'night! ^_^
