The Dragon in my Dreams
Monday, June 21st, 2010
This is sort of a psycho-analysis of myself. It’s about my earliest memory and what drove me to make movies.
Special thanks to everyone who submitted music. I had plenty of stuff to listen through and will always look back if I need more.
Also thanks to the workers for allowing me to film there. They told me the dragon is being moved to the front of the park. Nevertheless, it was my last time seeing it the way I remembered. I have yet to go back and see how it looks today, assuming it was moved successfully.
This is extremely well-done, more or less flawless in presentation, it portrays perfectly the meaningfulness of the subject to the viewers you are sharing this with.
How appropriate that the very first thing that inspired you to get into the medium of creative arts (Obviously, film-making in your case) showcases, in all its glory, your potential as a serious filmmaker when you revisit it.
Everybody in a field fueled by imagination has a ‘Dragon’ of our own, something very near and dear to us that gave us the first sprinkle of imagination or inspiration that snowballed into greater and greater things.
You’re very fortunate James, as your Dragon has not only helped you find your calling in life but has showed the world how skilled you are at what exactly it brought about.
touching video…
first time i feel like crying watching someone else’ memory
AND EVERY TIME HE TRIED TO KILL THE DRAGON IT DUCKED INTO THE MOAT
Wow, this is very good! The rest of the stuff you make is funny and all, but this movie sincerely felt introspective and was moving. Great job and thanks for sharing this.
This ACTUALLY brought a tear to my eye.
It was awesome, to say the least. And its nice to know the inspiration of an awesome film maker

This is so sad

Well this has been a great ride. Thank you, James
