Tobacco Luau - General Tiki

A long cinematographic learning process has happenend. Film structure is like a language of its own. In early silent movies people were scared of things that were show larger that their natural size, like a human head filling the entire screen, people left the cinema screaming. Or the whole sense of directions that now is not really worth mentioning: Gangster runs down a corridor and opens a door to the left and enters a new room on the right. Makes perfectly sense. But not to the early film folks. This is all stuff that was learned the hard way The down cut version lost quite some nice parts. I cut away a slow nice melodic intro, an instrumental bridge part that gave time to enjoy the luau atmosphere and a nice harmonic ending. I am happy that you enjoyed this little experiment.
