    This is the second video from Eleni's "Miracle of Five" album. From the Director Manny Marquez:

    "The idea this time was to utilize the old technique, rear projection. Everything you see behind them is projected, not green screen. They are elements we shot on the first day of shooting on a DVX-100, edited together for each shot, and projected on a big screen behind them. I wanted to use a real classic rear-projection method, but making a print and projecting it proved to be too expensive. As a trade-off, I got to use a 1950s Cooke Panchro lens to shoot all the main action. That was all shot on 35mm in Eleni's living room! In telecine, I tried to give it a Technicolor feel inspired by 1950s Hollywood films.

    Something you didn't really see a lot of in old films were elements coming out of the projection and interacting with the main action...so in this video I put some of that in. They sit in kitchen chairs just to emphasize how unreal it all is!"
