Midsummer Night's Dream: "Velvet Green"

A fanvid for the 1999 movie A Midsummer Night's Dream, starring Christian Bale and Calista Flockhart.
Set to the folk-rock song "Velvet Green" by Jethro Tull.

"Won't you have my company?
Yes, take it in your hands.
Go down on velvet green, with a country man
Who's a young girl's fancy and an old maid's dream.
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green."

I think the song works very well with the material you vidded. The song has a kind of dreamy quality to it, like "A Midsummer's Night Dream". And I think you edited the clips in such a way that the vid almost resembles a dream. You use slo-mo for certain clips and include a lot of sensual imagery.

Thanks, Rusty! This movie is a really fun adaptation of Shakespeare's play. Lots of gorgeous imagery in it -- at least enough for another vid, LOL!

Nice, not my favorite song but you managed to create something really good :)

Thanks, Monica! Yeah, Jethro Tull is a bit of an acquired taste. But at least you can take comfort in the fact that I edited out some of the longer instrumental bits, LOL!

I love this song and I haven't seen this film version of the play but I loved the result. Brilliant editing.

I was never a fan of Calista Flockhart although am one to recognize her talent as an actress.

This video has changed my perception, thank you.
