Love the dark aesthetics. Anything associated with Jen is appreciated by me. She is truly a gifted artist and one of the most original creators on YouTube. Even a dilettante like me can see the genius she exudes.
'danse macabre': by Camille Saint-Saens... I was wondering too, because I recognise it from a show called 'Modern Toss', but it actually says at the end!
J: "No, she seldom left the house. She was burned on the face as a child. She charged a kerosene lamp while it was lit. Since then she shunned other people, because of the comments."
H: "I see. What exactly was your relationship to Opal Westlake?"
J: "We were friends. We would go on long walks together. First we would pack a lunch and take our paints. Then we would spend the day painting the lovely Dartmoor scenery."
Holmes: "Good Evening. I am Sherlock Holmes. This is my partner, Watson. We are here on official business, regarding the Opal Westlake disappearance. May we ask some questions?"
J: "Certainly."
H: "How did you come into posession of this house?"
J: "After the demise of my Uncle Winscroft, he left it to me and my Sister."
H: "May we speak to your Sister?"
J: No, I'm sorry, she's out of the Country.
H: "Has anyone here besides yourself, ever spoken to your Sister?"..
A great little short. I think I was smiling through its entirety. An excellent choice of music for the piece as well. You'll have to do a mystery now with music by the Maestro Angelo as backing.
A true work of art should always remain enigmatic. It should tantalize the intellect but never allow itself to be snared by any sort of linear /conceptual net. This is an excellent short film. And it easily fulfills all the criteria, I think!
Why does everyone cease commenting whenever I have one of my legendary commenting "fits"? Is it a conspiracy to embarrass me? :) Oh dear, I guess my insanity will be here for all to see for a long while...*sigh*
When will we see the true face of LaCasetaMagica?!!! I think she may keep it hidden behind a half-mask, like the Phantom of the Opera-because of a dreadful accident!!! Or maybe The RavenOfPoe keeps her locked in the attic and only lets her out for movie-making! Or maybe she has no face, and The Raven has no hands, and since childhood, they work together as one! Oh, How cruel and dreadful this life is!!!
Well-done to the lads-Joseph and Beano. Real professionals and a joy to work with. Didn't let their egos get in the way of the production. Do toss them a piece of cheese for me!
The Danse Macabre Music! Peering Eyes through keyholes! Black cats! Cups filling and emptying on their own disobeying the natural laws of physics, a creepy Victorian child photo on a dresser, an Alchemist's Flask, A carpet worthy of Mr. A.S. Angelo himself! I dare not go down the stairs into the basement!-Shriek!-Panic!-I'm outta there! So wonderfully ATMOSPHERIC! I Loved it!-Congratulations! I see the hints of future Masterpieces of film in this Video.
The ubiquitous ennui of the postmodern world, symbolically interpreted intersubjectively and extraobjectively, with time operationally and fundamentally fractured -- casting the observer as an atemporal, semiotic ghost.
The cat was like a moving background, kind of startling at first. And the carpet/rug looked really cool in black in white, I'll be sad if it's not actually those colors and levels of saturation. Well done!
So good!! I was amazed! When I saw end-credits I realized It was Raven's work! (I forgot you are multi-channeled in more ways than is earthly):). Great job too all!
Well, Michael and Jordan already said it so what can I say other than... this was absolutly awesome!! This is the type of video I'm always looking for on YouTube and aspire to make myself. Please make lots more :)
Wonderful! Simply wonderful! It's amazing what you two come up with when left alone!
Haha! I knew it would be her hands! Did we have anything riding on that bet? Good to see the cameos by the furrier members of the family. Oh, I love that carpet too.
Great choice of music. I stood inside Saint-Saëns' tomb last time I was in Paris, and it was full of handwritten notes from people thanking him for changing their lives.
Woww, That was awesome! Very-ery good job with the video editing, you guys are getting great at that! I loved this short film and hope to see more like it in the future.. Absolutely fantastic!
Fine Work

This was very beautiful, and brilliantly executed. For some reason I keep thinking this is how a Victorian dream should look and feel like...
As I have quite a strange fascination for the 19th century I love that... :)

Explaination for these comments:
They are my humble attempt to create a small story-line that fits into this wonderful, dramatic, odd, Video, called "Sunday"

H: "Burned them?"
J: "Yes, when leather is soaked, it never returns to the way it was after it dries. I merely anticipated their demise."
H: "Quite.. Did you anticipate Opal's demise?"
J: "Whatever do you mean, Mr. Holmes?"
H: "Enemies. Did she have any enemies? Unlucky love affairs? Money Problems?
J: "If she did, she never spoke of them."

J: "We were friends. We would go on long walks together. First we would pack a lunch and take our paints. Then we would spend the day painting the lovely Dartmoor scenery."

"Watson! Are you there!"
"Yes Holmes! what is it?"
"Something's odd in this house, don't you feel it?"
"Besides a black cat, and a cold draft on my neck, frankly, Holmes, it seems normal."
"No, you're not watching, Watson. When I drop my hat to the floor, see! it leaps back into my hand!"
"By Jove, Holmes! I see!"
"Watson, the very laws of Nature are amiss here! I pray it's not of the Devil."
"Good Evening, Gentlemen.", quoth The Raven. And a beautiful young woman entered the room.
