In The Company of Formidable Women

PLEASE READ - This is a Birthday gift for my wonderful fiancee Maria... Happy Birthday! Music video on her forthcoming Novel "In the Company of Formidable Women" which is still being written...

A brief summary to get the idea: Lorraine and Kim are married, 3 children (girl & twin boys) and they are going through a separation. Other things along the line gets in the way such events like in each others past, catches up...

I have made trailers for this story in the past, introducing characters like in "opening credits" form. I'd thought about doing a full music video or at least an "extended" trailer but I hindered with the idea as I thought it would be impossible to do if I don't know extracts of the book. As I had the privilage to read the first two chapters, I picked up the feel of the story - A few late nights for the past week working on this, So here it is, this is my vision of "In the Company of Formidable Women" The actors in this video arethe one modelled on characters in the book like if it was a movie, these lot would be ideal casting.

Voices:
Lorraine Calligari: Are you crazy?
Young Lorraine Calligari: I'd never hurt you...
Kim Larriategui: I'm here, I did not leave, I am here for you...
Iker Larriategui Sr: Everyone... Everybody thinks about them...
Kim Larriategui: Because they're smart and patient...
Patricia Larriategui: I completely understand...
Rae Kavannagh: What if it doesn't work?
Lorraine Calligari: What have you become? Why are you doing this?
Lorraine Calligari: I haven't done anything wrong...
Kim Larriategui: Devotion
Andrea Calligari: I want all of us together, I will keep us pain-free
Lorraine Calligari: Let me tell you something, no feelings has never been so sweet...
Hillary Buchanan: I love you!

Why I disabled the ratings bit? Its a personal present video, not a competitive vidding like my other videos but feedback is most welcome :))))

[ladybugzz01]

Oh my Allie, this is beautiful. It's full of love and strong emotions. Wow.

[loopyallie1975]

Oh wow thank you so much for taking time seeing this... I cant wait to read the finished novel lol!

[MsConstantDreamer]

I have seen the different vids you've made about this story, and i keep coming back to them watching again! I have even stolen a bit from you, hope you won't kill me! But I am a huge Elizabeth fan, and the moments you captured are so full of emotions and expression! Anyways, my question was if this story, cause you mention it's a novel, is anywhere to read? :D

[jojokersina]

@loopyallie1975 we AREN'T weak at all.. women are stronger that men.. as phisical strenght men are stronger, no doubt, but women have the strenght to stand phisical and moral pain... men don't.. =) (I hope i made myself clear as English is not my first language.. I'm sorry for the mistakes..)

[loopyallie1975]

Wow thank you for taking the time to watch and your kind words. You are right that there isn't too many strong women stories out there, it is good to see their strength, after all we are not really that weak considering we bear children, homelife and looking after spouses, when we are ill, we still have to carry on...

[jojokersina]

This is so well made and it seems such a great story.... reading about women is always so good... it gives you the strenght you need in dark moments..... and it's such a great gift.... My compliments!! =)
