The Other Mother- “Come Little Children” (Lullaby of Deceit)
FINALLY!!!!
Okay guys, I promise this is my last Halloween related post, especially since it’s now November lol. But I’ll shut up after this.
So, I spoke too soon yesterday when I posted the “unfinished” Halloween music video about the Other Mother from Coraline. My best friend was originally going to be Coraline, but a part of her costume that she bought online 40 days ago, literally didn’t get here until yesterday.
As soon as she got it, we at the last minute decided to dress up and go out in the dark town. We visited two cemeteries, both beautiful yet incredibly eerie, and video taped a completely new music video of The Other Mother and Coraline.
We had some pretty good lighting thanks to my car and our phones, but obviously it’s not perfect since we shot it at night. However, I‘m extremely proud of what came out as a result. Yes, it could’ve been better, but given what we had to use at the last minute, I thought that shooting it at night made it so much creepier and haunting.
Now unfortunately, we had to change the button eyes, because the actual buttons would NOT stay in whenever I walked. So my bestie colored a pair of old sunglasses completely black, and used a silver sharpie to create the holes. Yeah it’s kinda noticeable and the eyes are much bigger, BUT it made the button eyes more obvious, and beggars can’t be choosers. I was at least able to walk around with them on.
I’m sooooo happy my bestie and I got to do our video after all! So this is me singing and being the other mother, and my bestie as Coraline.
Would love some feedback darlings! Constructive criticism is always welcome, but please to do not be unkind. Mwah! Happy first day of November btw <3
