H.R. 1955 - S. 1959 Relaxation Method - Honoring VocalBrush

The original H.R. 1955 - S. 1959 Relaxation Method footage (including male voice over audio) was from a clip gleaned off of Archive.org.

The new H.R. 1955 - S. 1959 Relaxation Method soundtrack is my value-add to this short, but powerfully moving piece of work.

Relaxation Method was originally recycled by Aaron Valdez for a college project, and further refined by Mark M. Bravura.

The additional soundtrack was created with a bunch of cool sound bytes using Garage Band for the audio mix-down and iMovie for the final clip mix-down (iLife '08).

I would like to dedicate this derivative work to fellow YouTubian- VocalBrush.

In an exceedingly short amount of time her work has deeply inspired me, and I highly recommend giving her channel a good look-over:

This was the 1st video I ever made around 1996 at the University of Texas. The audio was taken from the campus phone line called Tex Talk that featured a list of pre-recorded talks students could listen to if they were experiencing problems. The audio was recorded from the Methods of Relaxation tape. The stock footage was pulled from b-roll footage used in PBS series Eyes on the Prize. It was then cut on 3/4" tape, the days before digital video. Thanks for the sound remix & crediting me.

Huh. The version of this that I saw didn't have background music. I think it's a bit more poignant that way.

Anyhow, great vid nonetheless.
