Rose Mercury 'Snow White' video by: Courtney Varnes

~This is a video I created for a good friend Rose Mercury, a talented singer/songwriter. To hear more from this artist visit her at: myspace.com/rosemercurymusic and youtube.com/rosemercurymusic.

~Some of the meaning behind the imagery: The girl character(played by me(lol)-I'm the only one who'll get behind my camera! For now anyways. ;) is blinded and silenced by her grief of her loss..she holds on, and holds on, longing to be free of this burden; trapped like a caged bird. ~This also has a double meaning in a general sense,-that we can also be blinded, and silenced, by others or things that try to stop us from speaking or doing..or even seeing what is the TRUTH. We can be wounded even by our own actions of self doubt and temptation(thus the apples). The apples mean temptation...of ANY sort, anything that would hold us back...Tempted to: self doubt, self hate, not see, not hear, not speak what needs to be said, sin, not doing what we KNOW to be right! cont... This girl is following a never ending trail of temptation(apples). Everywhere she goes there is another one. At the end when Rose Mercury sings,"I'm still here.." It also has a double meaning in my video... One, of course that she hears her loved one's voice...but also that Jesus is 'still here' to deliver her from this torment...she then takes off the blinder from her eyes and the silencer from her lips... once free, she then realizes that she has the power to overcome death (thus burns it).
In the END God will cast Death into the fire!

-Thanks for watching! :)

As usual very creative and lovely- you did an excellent job! I need some pointers on how to create such videos! I don't have a video camera, but a dig. camera that takes several minutes of footage- yet not sure how to apply that to an actual video..Hmm...I am going to create some videos as best I can I guess...:)

Again great job!!
