A Simple Prayer: Amazing Grace

(It's really not as long as it says it is, there's a huge black void at the end, I have no idea how it got there so I invite you all to add annotations at the end of it to make up for the big black empty space :D

Dedications:
To my dearest Courtney (blacksgoddaughter) for being such an amazing/awesome/outstanding person and friend, this music video was in part inspired by her, she's the bestest friend anyone could ever wish for she's one of the very few people who can light up a day no matter what!! :), she means the world to me and her music videos rock!!!! :D so go check them out if you have time!!!!

This is also dedicated to all of the members of We Shot The Moon for being such kind people, and for the freakin' outstanding music they write and play :D ROCK ON! I will be a fan forevah :)
(And thank you for letting us use your music in music vids, I'm the one who asked you for permission for my friend ^Courtney up there^ a little while ago. About two weeks ago I was washing the dishes listening to this song and the Inspiration for this vieo hit :) )

About The Video:
Okay, this might not be the most terrific of all videos out there, but I put a lot into it, it's heavy material on both sides so it was a bit difficult to merge the two just right so you get the message both the music and the story sends with out confusion, which is why it kinda does it's own thing at the end, I'm not sure how well the flow for that works, viewers please let me know how that experimenting worked :) This is the story of William Wilberforce and the struggles he faced while pursuing the Abolition of the slave trade in England. I tried to scatter some happy images in this, to show that it wasn't all doom and gloom. My goal was for it to feel as though the music to this is showing compassion for him and what he's going through, which was, as you can see, quite a lot.
I'm just hoping the video sends a *hopefully* clear message in the 2 or so minutes it runs :)
The Ending isn't as Spiffy as I wish I could have made it :( sorry about that, I invested 5 hours in it and couldn't come up with a mind-blowingly awesome ending :/

The black void at the end, calls to my mind the thoughts that Johnny Cash shared when he introduced the song Man in Black.... For those who cannot speak for themselves, those held back, held down and denied... I recommend, dwell for those moments and reflect...

[zeeky33]

Oh my goodness... I'm gonna go watch this movie again right now... I just linked over from the emma cover of rainy days and mondays... JJBGirl you hit my heart strings, and I'm oh so thankful for the effort...
