I love taking from different sources and putting them all in to one harmonious product. I’m a media composer. The challenge with a recent comissioned video for singer/songwriters Pam Norris and Pat Jeffries (aka. Fold) was simple: interpret the song Water using only public domain footage from the Prelinger Archives.

I researched for a couple of days and took another two days to edit. I got feedback from Pam at the fine cut stage. I took a couple more days to make changes and then it was done.

I used the following sources:

Water (1953), Eyes Under Water (1949) Waters of the Commonwealth (1950), Pipeline to the Clouds (1951), Clean Waters (1945), City Water Supply (1951), Man Against the River (1937), Oklahoma Heartland USA (ca. 1953), Cleanliness and Health (1968), From the Ridge to the River (ca. 1950), The Adventures of Junior Raindrop (1948), andThe News Magazine of the Screen (1956) all from archive.org.
