Not QUITE quicksand, but... (Youtube find)

Postby frappacinoelite » Sun Dec 27, 2009 9:54 am

Ok, I haven't seen this one posted before, but I can't guarantee it hasn't.
It's not REALLY QS, but it's easy enough to imagine. It's a unique enough video.

I also found what appears to be a "Making of.... " video for it. If you're interested, here it is.

I hope this hasn't already been posted, and I hope that someone enjoys it :|

It was in part by Duncan I think, but another look at the entire view and the making of was neat!

The first scene is the opening montage from a Brazilian soap opera "God Help Us". It euphemistically depicts the corruption that was swallowing the country at the time. A few years ago I did a little research and emailed the creator of the scene, Mr. Hans Donner, and he was kind enough to send me a tape of the making of it all just for the asking. He also included some carnival footage of his famous, in Brazil anyway, wife. You can get a better look at her here -

I understand they have since had kids and live happily ever after. All I can say is that Mr. Donner is one creative prince of a human being. I turned the video over to Dave for learning purposes and safe storage. 8-)
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.

Good idea!

I bet I could talk some of my mud partners into taking me out onto THAT dance floor. Only, I want those other people out of there. That room should be ours alone!

I have always found that scene brilliantly surreal. Quicksand aside, it's a good piece of filmmaking and it makes its point extremely well.
