My masterpiece?
Well, maybe I should walk that back a little.
I worked forever on this music video, or, in layman's terms, two days. And when I finished it before bed I felt a kind of elation. My masterpiece! I put it up on YouTube and went to bed, but it took awhile for me to fall asleep. I was fizzing. I mean, have you seen this thing?
Oh, right, this is the introduction, so you haven't yet.
Well, by introduction this is...
A music video of the creek and falls near my house. Yes, my dear wife and I live in the heart of the toddling city of Saint Minneapolis, but this almost secret place lies a short walk from our home and any reader of clerkmanifesto will have seen miles of pictures of this area. I wrote a song for all my footage and magicked in an animal here or there. I edited it all together and, voila.
In the morning I watched this music video without the sound to see what it might look like on YouTube.
Maybe it's not a masterpiece after all then?
Maybe it needs the music to live and breathe?
Maybe I have lost all perspective.
But in the end it doesn't matter. I have had my fun, and now it is yours. It can be a masterpiece if you want it to be.
Instructions:
As ever, click through the picture. It really does need the sound I think. Also, I have cheated tradition here with the picture not being the first frame, rather from a few seconds in. But I will also include the first frame if you insist on that experience. Either picture will take you to the two minute video:

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
