Video Production Vlog International

A video production excerpt from Waiting for Elizabeth:

“For a month or two (2010) Elizabeth had been mulling the idea of a video production for her Pledge to Love. The shoot, the morning of 3 November, was in the yard of the old Nyack mansion in which [our friends] Eric and Melinda had an apartment.

“The concept of the video was to stress the international aspect of the Pledge so we set out to include as many nationalities/languages as we could. From our neighborhood we got the Turkish fruit vendor and the Yemeni hardware store guy. Through networking with our friends we ended up with thirteen languages from Gaelic to Chinese.”

(Except for one in Germany and another in Oregon they were all in a one mile radius of our house. You gotta love New York, New York.)

Elizabeth tells us: This “Pledge to Love” is the result of a gift from Dr. Brugh Joy. Several years ago, at a class of his on the upper west side of Manhattan, he was having us sit quietly with our right hand on our heart center. We were to feel, very slowly, one at a time, the myriad aspects of Love present there – joy, tenderness, peace, gratitude, compassion. It was so beautiful. The next morning in meditation, in putting my hand over my heart to recreate this experience, I heard this Pledge of Allegiance. I’ll be forever grateful. Regardless of where we stand religiously, spiritually, or non-spiritually – we all want to feel good and be happy.

As you can imagine the video editing was a challenge but fun.

We did versions of several lengths. This vlog is the long version trimmed with a portion of Elizabeth’s monologue used as voice over. Enjoy and share. The short versions are (4:51) here and (2:10) here.
