Distraction

A Journey

Interesting feedback arrives with us via our dog. Criticism - witticism and guidance. One point we find most interesting is the comment about scenes being ‘Too long’.

Why ?

To further understand Kelpie one must further understand TIME.

Five short movie questions that helped us understand the cliches.

Does your movie have Zombies in it?

Does your main character stare into a mirror?

Does a couple break up over a conversation in a cafe / park / shop / office etc?

Does your movie repeat itself (do I see the beginning at the end)?

Is your movie an homage to Silents / Hitchcock / Westerns etc?

Cù Sìth

Take a closer look at Kelpie at around 00:00:38. Most will miss the two hounds of the movie, it’s likely that only the creatures from the mounds would sense their presence. Cù Sìth for those who would delve deeper into the turbulent stream?

Shapeshifters

Little have we spoke of making Kelpie the movie here on our blog - perhaps because it may not be necessary - for fairy tales and folklore speak for themselves. And the purpose of this blog is in serving as a series of clues and questions - for there are no answers, only choices here. But to feed the curious as to why we made our movie - one need only look to the dark world of the fairy tale and it’s wonder - whilst many are obsessed, possessed or aware of only the very recent and perhaps excited by what technology can and will be able to do in the future, for us, magical shapeshifting sequences from another time was an inspiration.

Spirit Guide for Surfers

It’s wise for the surfer to look below the shimmering glassy surface
or know what spirits lurk amidst the froth of their surfing.

Lullaby

Conan who ?

Kelpie film maker let’s loose a little of the emotion from his Norse family bloodline and asks...

A Viking riddle:

I am man's treasure, taken from the woods,
Cliff-sides, hill-slopes, valleys, downs;
By day wings bear me in the buzzing air,
Slip me under a sheltering roof-sweet craft.
Soon a man bears me to a tub. Bathed,
I am binder and scourge of men, bring down
The young, ravage the old, sap strength.
Soon he discovers who wrestles with me
My fierce body-rush - I roll fools
Flush on the ground. Robbed of strength,
Reckless of speech, a man knows no power
Over hands, feet, mind. Who am I who bind
Men on middle-earth, blinding with rage?
Fools know my dark power by daylight.

Moonlight morning unconsciousness - souls in machines drift as a stream to repeated daily destination - most missing the glory of the moon itself.
