Adding the words to yesterday’s film.
First thing that must be mentioned is that it was our neighbour Larry Little who opened my eyes to the film. He sent me an email with the link to the film. Thank you, Larry.
Obviously I have no way of knowing how many of you watched the film that was the object of yesterday’s post: Words are Superfluous. But for those of you that did here is the background to that most moving film.

If one goes across to Shawn Welling’s website and clicks on the About link one reads a bio that is truly fascinating. WikiPedia also has a very good summary of Welling Films that opens thus:
Welling Films (sometimes written as WF) is an American film production company and studio based in Houston, Texas. It was launched in mid-2006 by Houston-born choreographer and photographer Shawn Welling. They have produced five feature films, along with the web series AXI: Avengers of eXtreme Illusions, and several narrative and documentary short films.
Yesterday’s post, quite deliberately, did not include all the credits and background information. Here it is:

To close today’s post here’s another film from Shawn Welling. (And trust me, this film is very different to yesterday’s!)

Another beautiful collaboration between Les Twins and Shawn Welling AXI Films.
Filmed on in front the statue of “the Savior” at the First Presbyterian Church of Houston, Houston, TXDirected by Shawn Welling

I watched Les Twins doing the ‘body popping”; or what ever it’s called. Mr. Wellington really knows how to pick talent and how to film. Interesting stuff.
