The husky rescue track was the only one that worked with the footage so that was the natural choice.
I tried different edits and was conscious of it not being a music video in the usual sense, (voice over was added last), and in the end just let the music play on!

Hi Jonathan,
so glad you like the feel.
It was shot on a hand cranked russian clockwork camera, can't read Russian so not sure the make, but nothing special.
The stock was mostly Kodachrome 40 but there was the odd roll of Fuji when that was all I could get.

ok, so this is half documentary, half cinematic essay, or so i gather.
i also took part in this competition, using the same track, but whilst in your case it ran throughout the film, it just appeared briefly on the end credit sequences in mine.

i think the way you document this far from the madding crowd community does more justice to the song, than did my short. my only problem would be that i'd thought you were only supposed to use the song in some parts of the film and not throughout, but it doesn't matter too much. it's a solid piece of film-making nonetheless.
good job.
