Bloodroses Intro

The intro to a ghost story me and a friend made. I directed it and he shot it. We wanted to start the film as a murder ballad. I'd upload the whole film when it has english subs(it's in swedish)Since I did not include the credits, the actors are: me (Jonas Tarestad) and Anna Dahlén. Photography: Nils Höjer and music by: Kim Fasting. Pardon the picture quality (it looks much better in higher definition)

Eerie...well done

@phairchild1 Thanks!

That was actually pretty well done.  Murder ballads are pretty overlooked these days, so it's good to see folks reviving the tradition!

Are you going to do any Scandavian-influenced murder ballads? There are so few clips with sackpipa music on YouTube, it'd be awesome to have sackpipa music combined with an early 20thC murder silent film.

The rest of the picture actaully has a fair share of scandinavian folkmusic. I have been thinking about doing something more scandinavian. I have a special instrumental song in mind that according to legends was performed by satan in a small village in sweden which made everybody dance themselves to death. Currently I am working on animation of the british murder ballad Sweet fanny adams.

So to answer you question. Yes I might but I am more of a fiddle guy myself :-)

OMG - I love the legend you mentioned about Satan performing a song that made the village people dance themselves to death - for some reason, that makes my writer's voice start spewing out ideas; what a provocative legend!
