![]() ![]() But sometimes, when you are celebrating a major milestone, it can feel like you are so busy making sure everything is perfect - and perfectly documented - that you end up missing out on those small, special moments that you can’t get back. ![]() We believe that every moment matters, especially the smallest moments we share with the ones we love. And with a little extra time with your family, it is a good time to gather around and review photos, swap stories, and select your favorites to share. Everything from the initial consultation, to the Montage creation process, is easy to do virtually. For families with a bar mitzvah coming up, now is an ideal time to get started on making a Mitzvah Montage with Portraits that Move. Without the ability to shoot our Signature Portrait Videos or Mitzah Movies due to social distancing, our Portraits that Move Team has been hard at work on more montages. If you have found yourself looking through photos and longing to connect to and celebrate your family, now is the perfect time to work with us on creating a Montage Video. In fact, these small, isolated moments go a long way into helping us tell - and connect to - our family stories. And this gratitude and joy helps to balance out, if not push away entirely, the frustration that current circumstances are often creating. What we are finding - and we are hearing the same from clients and friends - is that looking back over these memories (even those from the recent past that is starting to feel a bit far away) is helping us to feel gratitude and joy. We have been bringing out photos, from physical photos to the longer and longer camera rolls on our phones and other devices. His reason’s probably better than mine though.Along with our clients, we have been finding ourselves taking a little more time to pour over our own family memories. PS Just remembered, I’m not the only person out there who hasn’t seen Montage of Heck: neither has Dave Grohl, whose interviews for the film took place too late to make the final cut. Look it took me a year once to review a Pearl Jam gig. * Nor, come to that, bought the companion book. The audio quality isn’t great, but it’s a cracking run-through Bleach, interspersed with the odd song that later appeared on Incesticide. The original post (with video) has been taken down, but someone else has stuck up an audio-only version: To mark its 25th anniversary, a bootleg of a January 1990 Nirvana gig at Satyricon in Portland was posted on Youtube by someone who was there. Promise a review soon once I’ve finally seen the thing.**Ī separate bit of Nirvana news that I squirrelled away at the start of the year to include alongside the review-that-hasn’t-quite-been-written-yet-what-with-not-having-seen-the-film-and-all. Perhaps the Shatmeister is partially and subconsciously responsible for the main riff in ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’?) Embed from Getty Images Cobain put the mix tape together the year before Bleach came out aside from his own sonic experimentations (with a fair amount of knobbing about, it has to be said), it includes a snatch of William Shatner’s cover of ‘Wild Thing’. Morgen assembled the film from a treasure trove of material made available to him by Cobain’s widow Courtney Love and daughter Frances Bean Cobain – unreleased music, paintings, home movies, notebooks – and he named the film after a mix tape that he found when sifting through all this material. …what can only be defined as the definitive Cobain documentary. ![]() And if that wasn’t sufficient, Consequence of Sound has described it as: I’m in two bands these days (twice as many chances for Mike McCready-inflected noodlings), and everyone in both bands who’s seen the film has told me so. Indeed, it’s one of the main reasons I’ve barely blogged in the past three months or so, as my intended next post has been a review of the film…īy all accounts, professional and personal, Montage of Heck is excellent. I still haven’t got round to seeing Montage of Heck, Brett Morgen’s garlanded documentary about Kurt Cobain, having missed it in the cinema, failed to use a now-expired link to an online copy another friend sent me, and not yet forked out the necessary £10 or so for the DVD in penance for my slack behaviour.* If I’d been a flannel-shirted extra in an early Kevin Smith film, I couldn’t have been much slacker. “It might be my favorite rock doc ever - totally overpowering and draining emotionally.”Īh. Confession time. “Thoughts on Montage of Heck?” my friend Eric tweeted me the other day. ![]()
