The Tree by Lake Danum

A Bontoc story about a tree that used to stand near Lake Danum near Sagada. This is a mythology story about a woman named Maeng, and her quest to save her family from hunger.

It is an adapted story from Damiana Eugenio's collection of Philippine Mythologies. In the book, the protagonist is nameless, and the name of the village she came from was Maeng. This video was made to comply with my thesis requirements (and as requested by a friend hehe).

It was hand drawn, then watercolored the characters, backgrounds, and other scenes.

Program used:
-Macromedia Flash
-Windows Movie Maker
-Adobe Photoshop

Music: "Nightfell"
Dubbed in English

Music downloaded from http://freeplaymusic.com/

Thanks to:
-Mami Ket for scanning and letting me use her computer to save them into gif files because my Photoshop sucked xD

I was looking through my favorite videos, and i came across this one again. I meant to tell you the first time, but i think this is very nice. the storyline is very fitting with the music. I looked at some of your other videos. I like this one the best.

Was there a moral here somewhere? The video was beautifully made and each scean fit the narative perfectly, but what was with the poison lake at the end? Was the witch just that spiteful and wanted toprolongthe tree's suffering? I like learning about new fairtales, but there's usually gaps in those stories that seriously need to be filled in.

Once again great video.
