Okay – maybe a bit long at 6 minutes for a single.

Some of the drawings worked better than others – the Madison routine from Bande à Part most effective.

Too bad you couldn’t have worked a little bit of animation into it (After Effects?).

The graphics style maybe a bit punkish or faux naïf for the rather wistful folksong. Liked the subtle keyboard accompaniment to the guitar, but the guitar maybe a bit far back in the mix for my tastes – was the vocal recorded at the same time?

Go Francis and Harry :)

Thanks Cap. Francis and Harry say all feedback is good at this stage. They have just joined myspace: www.myspace.com/francisandharry Have a look at the photos from their first ever meeting. Recently the Jock Rock website made "Sympathy For Godard" their video of the week. It's also won praise from the writer Bernard Maclaverty who said on Twitter: "Ever hear a great song about a film maker? low budget - high aspiration Look and listen." Artist Barry Thompson responded: "That was really lovely thank you." And the sculptor Craig Crosbie told us: "I absolutely loved it!! Well done. Lovely feeling." Thank you to everyone who went on You Tube for a peak, it's much appreciated. The video has had well over 1.000 views. If you like it please spread the word to your friends and get tweeting. Thank you :)
