Bruce was checking out a possible contact who could make a video.  He forwarded a link for us to watch.  The sample video used a mirrored effect in places, which reminded me of something from a few months ago that had slipped my mind.

My nieces and nephews love playing around with the video software on my laptop.  Spending the afternoon round at Mr Crook’s place last August, I checked out what Matilda made of it.  Pretty soon, her dad’s curiosity was also piqued.

Ten minutes later, we concluded that this was fertile territory and possibly something that could be used in future.  We promptly forgot all about it until Bruce’s friend’s video reminded me.  I watched it again and saw the same potential.

It’s not as slick as Tom’s stop-motion experiment from the same period, but it has a certain charm.  Creativity is often like this… play around with something, carelessly discard it, then remember several months later what you liked about it.

So, I’ve cut it down to the best section and added an obscure Drazillian score as backing music.  I’m publishing it now as an example of the kind of wonky little idea that frequently never sees the light of day.  This one gets a second chance.
