Hi sYlvia. I have looked and didn't see Stella on the credits. Which part did she play. She would have been about 7 I guess......  |

Towards the end, she is on the shoulder of some guy viewing the lashing of the countess. It was just a crowd shot, no speakig part so no mention in the credits. |

Affair of the Necklace - Fun version!!
In pre-Revolutionary France, a young aristocratic woman (Hillary Swank) left penniless by the political unrest in the country, must avenge her family's fall from grace by scheming to steal a priceless necklace. She conspires with Retaux, a gigolo, (Simon). They start by using each other but develop feelings leading to a beautiful love scene. Ultimately the scheme goes awry and ends badly for all involved including unwittingly catalysing the downfall of Marie Antoinette.
This movie clip is a collection of scenes to create an image rather than telling the story - and set to music - Nothing Else Matters.
(By the By - Singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield wrote the song while he was on the phone with his then girlfriend (now wife - they also have 3 kids). The lyrics, "so close, no matter how far", reflected the bond they shared even when he was on tour. Initially, the song was not meant to be released, as Hetfield had written it for himself, but after drummer Lars Ulrich heard it, it was included on their 5th album Metallica (1992) and is now probably one of their best known tracks. It has been covered over 40 times...... There is a great version from a concert Metallica did with the SFSO in 2000 - check out YouTube).
Back to the movie clip - I have played around with iMovie - trying different video effects - flipping the image, sepia & "romantic" tones, zooming and adding stills - all to get enough footage to last the length of the track. There is alot of bare chested Simon. It may not be to everyone's taste. I hope i don't offend anyone.....
There is a clip at the end of Stella who was an extra in the crowd scene (thank you Sylvia for mentioning this).
Finally though I have to say I do prefer Simon as he is now....

If you like this I have updated - see post in Films.......

Thank you Thrill!
well, offended is not the right word for how I feel seeing Simon like that.... 
(pretty cool fencing-scene.)
Oh, and thanks for the information about the song-lyrics, was new to me! |

Thanks Thrill...don't worry I don't think you will offend anyone...certainly made my day!  Simon looks so young but I think he looks even better now! Have to agree about the sword fight, nice to see him being 'macho'!! Loved seeing Stella at the end, she looked so sweet.

Simon at Chantilly
New movie of Simon as Longines Ambassador of Elegance at Prix de Diane, Chantilly - June 2012 - using additional footage, slow motion and freeze frame - all set to Chi Mai performed by the New London Orchestra. Enjoy.....
Simon Longine Ambassador Chantilly June 2012 - set to Chi Mai
His visit to Chantilly really sums up his elegance - and i hope this movie & music does it justice. My favourite piece is when he hops out of the car - so graceful and smooth.....
ps I hope this shows that I don't have a 1 track mind....... |

Best of Simon's Interviews in 2012
I am starting to work on a movie or 2 for Simon's birthday. The first is going to be highlights from his interviews in 2012. So far I have reduced it down to 3 x 15 YouTube versions :
Simon Baker Interviews 2012 - US part 1
Simon Baker Interviews 2012 ROW
There is no new material here - just adding shorter clips together. the US part 2 isn't great quality - (better link now below) - I had issues with the Ellen video - I had to use one from YouTube. I had downloaded a better version (of the whole show) but it kept getting blocked so I couldn't use it.
Anyway the next step is to reduce this further to 1 x 15 min YouTube - with the best bits - to show all sides of Simon
Better link for US part 2
Simon Baker Interviews 2012 - US part 2
