Lights Camera... ACTION!!!

Sometimes Natalie and I like to fiddle around on the piano and come up with different melodies. As we were sitting around this morning, we determined that some of these compositions were actually quite good and sounded kinda like something you'd hear in a movie.
That's when the lightbulb went off in both of our heads and Natalie and I determined right then to make a movie with one of the songs I'd written. And here are the fruits of our labors!
We were kinda going for an old fashioned black and white silent movie!
Basically all the shots you see in here are filmed by myself, Natalie or Elizabeth (the six year old preacher) which is why you get a lot of close ups and never see all of us together. Also, we were kinda short on people so I had to double up as the love interest who dies and the bad guy... It's kinda confusing because I look too much like myself when I'm playing someone else (we don't really have a huge costume and makeup department...everything pretty much comes from what we can find in our closet)
Anyway, you can see it was definitely a low budget film! :) Plus it only took like an hour to put the whole thing together.
But we sure had fun making it!
Hope you enjoy it!! haha :)

~Keep Smiling!~ :)
