Love's Made A Fool Of You - A Buddy Holly Recording Session

[cimicillustrator]

Really nice job on this, and one of my favorite Buddy Holly songs.

I thought I had commented earlier, seems not. This is a Buddy "oscar worthy" effort! A very clever concept and flawless execution. Neat song choice also, featuring Tommy Alsup on the fluid lead guitar. One of my all time fave fan vids. I think Buddy himself would be proud of this. Cheers indeed!

Nice try - but you don't care you gonna try agin...

[lejeune1945]

Well done.Mr Holly was a terrible loss to the music world.I saw him in Leicester UK just before my 13th birthday--Wow! I appreciate this film.Even if it was made as a study project it has gladdened the hearts of a lot of his fans.Many thanks!

Nice wee movie. The guy playing Buddy has a similarity. and adding the Alan Freed interview with your 1974 film.........is a nice touch too. Although 37 years later on....well done.

Very convincing! Hats of! Its really make belief. I enjoyed it very much! Thank you so mutch.

[LittleDragon2000]

This is incredibly well done on every level.

I think you've done with film what they couldn't do today, even with all their digital light and magic

[JustAGuyNamedSteve1]

great and convincing. I remember so vividly waking up on the snowy Feb morning and hearing that Buddy had died.

I just couldn't believe it. Sometimes I still don't!

[BlueSuedeTom]

The "Rosewood" fretboard and the "Large" Fender headstock, were an easy spot that this was a "Spoof".

But i have to say the spirit is all there, so well done, much RESPECT.

Thanks Tom. We tried very hard to get hold of an authentic Strat but no-one had one to lend or hire way back in 1973. The film was never intended a a spoof or to fool anyone. I made it originally as a basis for an animation I was going to do as a final year project for my university degree in film and television.

[JurekZG]

Nice one. Buddy looks really convincing.

Respect man.

[loyboy1979]

I loved it

[lexyhope]

The whole film was captured in black and white then it was copied onto colour film stock with filters to give the illusion of very old colour film. I wanted the movie to have that "just found in an old trunk" look. The real Buddy does make a brief appearance at the end in very short animated series of still photographs.

starting at the 2 minute mark, it looks just like buddy holly! in color! i had to really watch it several times at that moment to make sure it wasnt buddy.....well done! bravo!

[galley30]

between the 2:00 and 2:05 mark on this video, it looks just like buddy holly! in color! perfect match right at that point. well done! bravo!

[phillydog17]

[mezansky]

[mikegym64]

Well done! Very convincing.

[earlslilttlegirl]

does anyone know who is singing harmony, or did buddy overdub????

[lexyhope]

Hi, if you expand my notes at the top (where it says "more...") you'll find the session details. Buddy did double track his vocals.

[gnd567]

Wow. That's very good.

[rockabillyotis]

[johnnyholly]

WHo's the guy playing Buddy?

[lexyhope]

Buddy is played by Doug Smith, a fellow film student. We made it 35 years ago (1973) at the Royal College of Art. Doug is still working in film and video production.

[soutache]

Very well done!

[GB356]
