Music Documentary w/only clips of Freestyle Dressage June 27, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was disappointed by this video. I thought that it would show more freestyle footage. This DVD should have been called: The Making of The Music for Anky.
In the section "The Shows", there are two:
James Bond show `Live': It would have not been bad if they did not waste film showing me the orchestra. If I want to watch people play instruments, I would go to the local school and watch them for FREE.
Tango show `live': This starts off with shots of the band. Then the video goes to a split screen with the voice of the tango and various shots of the band. This is ok if you have a monster TV. I do not. There is some good footage but not much. Once again, if I want to watch people play instruments, I would go to the local school and watch them for FREE.
"The Story", where to start.......... This is mainly about the making of the music. There are only clips of performances. You never get to see a full performance. This is just a documentary about music first and horses second. I now know more about writing music for freestyle than freestyle itself. Did I mention that it is in German with subtitles? That was 29:44 of my life that I will never get back.
"Athene Show Clip": It as well is music video. Various shots of practice, the composers, eating lunch, the band, Anky singing and yes some from Athens. This section is 6:25 and I am sad to say that this is the best part of the DVD for freestyle footage.
"The Making Of": This section is actually about making a freestyle routine. I am sorry to say that it is only 14:26 long but it does have some information.
"Gallery": Just picture but they are very cute.
Overall impression: Not worth spending your money on. I will not make the mistake of buying anymore of Anky's DVD's. God only knows what the next one will be.
The CD of the music was great. I thought that it was the only saving grace to this documentary.
