Origins: Instant Videos

Flashback to Lullaby for G. Filmed in one take inside a meticulously arranged garage with symbolic totems of childhood and learning. The ever present television set...and of course little Georgia not even a year old. Being "put to sleep" by Tammy this way while singing a song she composed for the baby.

I remember setting the camera and turning around so that I wouldn't actually see the live performance. The audio recorded for this was also from the camera mic so it has the hollow sound.

We are presenting some rarely seen gems from the video vault while we enjoy our hiatus from the weekly riot of creation. We are starting again in under two weeks time so hold on to your horses... We are presenting a little "origins" mini-series of flashbacks in the meantime. This is from 2003. Notice the painted backdrops that would later appear in Instant Video #7.

Will be back soon. Goodnight. Sweet dreams.



Lullaby for G
by Tammy Lin Foreman

This light of mine
Gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine
This light of mine
Makes no difference
What you say
I'm gonna be happy
Come what may
Have you ever
felt that way?

Have you ever
felt that way?

Won't hide, no
Gonna let it show
Gonna let it glow

Makes no difference
What they say
I'm gonna be happy
Come what may
Have you ever
felt that way?

Oh, this light that shines in me
Shine your light for all eternity
and in my darkest hour
Shine so bright with all your power

Makes no difference
What they say
I'm gonna be happy
Come what may
Have you ever
felt that way?

Have you ever
felt that way?
