You might have noticed that my number 18 is missing in my chronology – but this time it is totally planned ! I have my reasons for it, but to let not come up any speculations; it is just because I want this # 18 to stay totally exclusive.
But who would complain, since I am continuing with posting my personal artwork. And this time we have my official # 19 – “The Crusaders”. Well, nothing much to say about this one – it is a pure fan project for a certain film that you might recognize. Well, you should – since it is a well-known hollywood blockbuster with Orlando Bloom in a leading role. It is one of the few shows in which I am focusing myself on one single film only. Of course, this is not easier at all – it is even more difficult since the material is, so to speak, very “limited”. The toughest thing is the selection of possible scenes, and putting them along nicely to the music (and the songtext).
I did not really do this show to “honour” the film itself… it is a good one, but nothing more. In this case it went the other way round: I first heard the musical piece (performed by a german band named Crystallion), and thought about possible visual scenes to it – since I liked it very much. And then I found this film which fitted EXACTLY (according to the theme and text).
So, sit back and enjoy this one… as a rather unusual show. But I guess I can not “shock” you anymore, there is just too much of a variety in my shows…

I think that you did a good job on that video slide show. Even if I don`t have an idea of which film you used ( looks good , but not like one I would hurry on to see in the cinema ) – the scenes fit well with the music. In a way your slide show reminded me of the role playing games I used to play few years ago – with knights , castles and all that.
Thanks a lot for commenting, Skykid ! Especially when it comes to my slideshows, comments are more than highly appreciated. Well, the film has been aired a lot of times in the german television by now – so I thought it could be rather well-known. It is called “Kingdom Of Heaven”, in my opinion one of the better hollywood-made films that are focusing on an important historical event.
I am glad that you liked it, and I especially liked the reference you made by thinking about role playing games ! Of course, it has all the elements that are needed for an “epic tale”… noble knights, a very important historical place, the ongoing battle between christians and muslims… so I thought of this as a nice topic for a slideshow.
Greetings,
