Hi Folks, Those who make AV slideshows for competition say that a good show tells a story with images and sometimes with video, and is enhanced by good background audio. This is an attempt to tell a story with a painting. I think perceptive observers will understand and "get it" but to be clear perhaps an explanation might help. The title is a major clue. As we see the painting unfold, we notice the differences that outside in the real world it is raining with thunder and lightning. In the fireplace, a roaring fire is burning in the room but in the painting, if we look carefully, only a small fire burns perhaps indicating a different day, and on the upper left through the window panes it's bright and sunny outside. As the painting unfolds, near the end we see that on the foot rest in front of the couch, the subject which is not actually in the room appears. Using this technique, perhaps some additional dimensions in telling a story with audio and visual might be realized? Best regards, Lin
