Margaret in Captivity - The Decemberists

[OoOxChibbeexOoO]

He's one shape shifting tango. I like this song :3

[Lysergikx]

That was fantastic.

Wish you could do the entire album, that would be absolutely awesome.

[tapixt]

screeches

this is awesomE

[Crystasis]

Fantastic video, I would love to see your interpretation from this song to the next though.  Thumbs up here!

[AsbjornOlling]

@RainbowMitten

MOAR! NAOW!

I SAID NAOW!

[sub'd]

[ThereGoesChristina]

this is amazingggggg!

[thepuddingfairy22]

Yeah, it does sound a little like bon jovi. But if they were gonna pick a song to do something similar to, why not do it? The beginning is my favorite part of both songs. GO DECEMBERISTS!!! and that was a pretty nifty video, too.

[MJJpwns777]

Anyone else see how this song is obviously a copy of "wanted dead or alive" by bon jovi. Are the Decemberists so untalented that they have to completely copy music?



[ILiveintheMeadow]

Will you do more? I am so subscribing just to let you know. :)

[RainbowMitten]

@ILiveintheMeadow Not in the near future, it's nice to know that people want more!

[PikePoleOnFire]

This is so darn good. I am surprised that Colin had not seen this and asked for you to do one of his own official video's.

[RainbowMitten]

@PikePoleOnFire Thank you, I sent it to their manager, but I don't know if the band ever actually saw it.

[gravitystix]

I tried to create a live action movie version of the whole album but only made it about halfway before things fell apart. There's only a trailer on Youtube. I hope someone eventually manages the whole thing with either animation like this or live action. I saw one person who even put together a theatrical version! Such a perfect album for integration with other media.

[princesaman007]

So mythologically inspired and beautiful. Shape shifting lovers, one my favorite motifs in poetry and music. This is the best! Kudos to Rainbow Mitten!

[FOXGEAR92]

How much would I have to pay you to make an animation for the whole entire album? :D

This is fantastic.

[RainbowMitten]

@FOXGEAR92 Oh gosh quite a bit I'm sure haha

[FOXGEAR92]

@RainbowMitten What are we talking about? 1000? 2000? :P Really, this is what the visual Hazards Of Love should have been.

[RainbowMitten]

@FOXGEAR92 Well thank you! It'd be more than that for 16 more music videos. I don't have an exact number but it'd be months of work...closer to 10, 000 I think....off the top of my head. 

[JosephineMarcus]

HO. LY. BALLS. This is the most amazing thing ive ever seen. 

[hamdigidy]

you did a good job on this vid, very well put together.

[legomaster72]

*cough* Wanted Dead or Alive *cough*

[blackforest825]

Beautiful.(:

[IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE]

I've never listened to all the songs in "The Hazards of Love" before so I wouldn't know, but is this before or after the rake kills his 3 children? Was this the mother?

[RainbowMitten]

@IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE The story line isn't especially linear, but this song comes right after the one with his children's death. And that is not the mother.

[FOXGEAR92]

@IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE The story he tells of killing his children took place before the album's events. It was just him telling us the story of his misdeeds.

[DuffleMuffins]

Awesome!

[argylegadsby]

Wow! That was perfect. Margaret's shedding of a single tear at the end was the cherry ontop.

[hoylakehopper]

i love this song, and this video is amazing; does the song justice, looks really professional. favourited!

[TheObliviousi]

this simple animation helps to offset the complex nature of this song....nah im just playin. good video, nice animation and all that other stuff

[misswoopa]

Very nice, love your animation style. Though Margaret is supposed to be heavily pregnant, I guess some artistic license is fine. I like the way the light is showing through the Rake's shirt, nice detailing there :)

[parkydave1]

:DX

[forgeress]

Oh my.... this is wonderful! Amazing!

[spookyriss]

This is amazing! I love it :) You've really captured what I imagine as I listen to the album.

[opdrewman91]

wonderful!! you captured the spirit of the music, in my opinion.

although, who said the dude's name is WIlliam?

[RainbowMitten]

@opdrewman91 There was artwork that went with the CD, it features drawings of the four main characters, and labels the man "William"

[deberiafuncionar]

Lovely! I think the style of the visuals is a great fit - in fact, it's incredibly close to the imagery that was already running through my head during album listens.

[podo944]

That was pretty cool!

Nice work!

[gibbkathy]

well done!!

[FriskyPossum]

Very nice! Beautifully done.

[Bravedigger666]

Where is the love? This is pretty awesome. I liked Rake, a villian. I laughed (though I probably shouldn't have) when he came on.

[raisegrate]

saw your link on DA -- this is a well done and very lovely little video, you should be proud of of yourself. I hope the band sees it and likes it!
