"Angels", written 30 years ago, finished when daughter gets baby herself.

I wrote this song when our daughter was born. Now, 30 years later, when she is getting a baby herself, it's finished with a stop motion video! We were so happy with her, and a few weeks after she was born, I woke up in the middle of the night with this song in my head, including lyrics. But it took me 30 years before I recorded it and made this video! The whole video is composed of a few thousand pictures. It is far from perfect, but at a given moment you just have to stop, especially because our daughter was VERY pregnant at the moment I uploaded this video, and I wanted to give it to her as a present before their child is born :-) The song is recorded on a laptop and with a Rode USB studio microphone. You don't need lots of money and stuff to get a good (I think) result. The song was made and mixed out with Acoustica Mixcraft 7 software, and the video was edited with Davinci Resolve 17. The stop motion video has been done with a Canon 70D with a Canon 10-18mm lens, on a cheapo tripod, and connected to my laptop, remotely controlled with free Canon software: EOS Utility 2. For shooting the photos for this video I would have loved to use qStopmotion, a special and open source stopmotion software, but it only worked at very low resolution with my camera. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this song and video! And dear daughter and son-in-law: We love you immensely and we are proud of you! Wim
