i kinda wish you had other footage in there but other then that it looks good for the song!

I agree. I'm not generally a fan of the "handheld video camera" technique--it's so often overused in movies and commercials both--but I think it's just PERFECT here. Skating is very much a personal experience (no one can feel the ice underneath your blades but you), and this video captures that simple truth.

I'm aware UMG are policing up some of their music (and videos I like) this way. I can only say I hope they won't. For my part, I buy up CD copies of "The Charlie Brown Christmas Album" and give them to those I think might appreciate this music. I do the same with other UMG music too--Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66, for example. To UMG: If you kill off vids and commentary...and enthusiasm...you will also kill off your customer base, both short and long term. PLease allow me to pass it on.

I really like the soft focus and the camera work. It fits the song perfectly. Motion and the dream like pixelated images. Great work. I have never seen any other videos use this effect. The music is one of my favorites. You did a great job!

This is a great song, but here's a little heads up for you. My video featured the same song and Universal Music Group took it down. Be careful.

Just listening to this song makes me want it to be christmas again. :D I used to be able to play this on piano. Not this exact version, obviously an easier version. I still love this song so much.

ohmagaod (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

oh, don't get me wrong, please! i was replying to the stupid person who called you a s.o.b. because of the motion. i personally love the vid. sorry for the confusion.

I wouldn't consider myself a professional "non-professional camera operator/ice skater"...I guess I should've went to college for that considering that's what I've always wanted to do for a career choice. C'mon, now. (aggrivated exhale) Not the best ice skater, especially on chipped ice. The only reason I posted this was because I thought it represented a simple, earthy tone remniscent of old home movies of Christmases past. I figured I'd share this with those who enjoyed that feeling as well
