More 'Big Love' Kudos

This girl singing the song is evil as heck in the series "Big Love", but what fantastic un-coached pipes (note the lack of tremolo/vibrato)! My taste for music tends more to Nirvana/Floyd/Mozart/The Archies, but this song was moving. A happy song made sad by being sung in a minor key while EVERYONE in every scene, including the singer, was extremely unhappy. Whomever the director of Big Love is, he deserves a raise. Brilliant.

Just FYI, the guy at the beginning of the scene has just been given a lethal dose of morphine (unknown to him). I kept him in the clip to add to the ambiance. Watch Big Love on HBO. You'll be happy you did. In a sad way.

Expect to see some more goofy pictures using this tactic in the future. I wonder what it would look like if I removed her aura and bumped her light levels! And if this isn't an image that deserves some 'unsharp masking', then I don't know one that does... and what if the tint was changed? I bet her eyes could be drawn out by a... Hmm. Gotta go.
