I had a vision of this gorgeous hooping dance video I would create at the river where we spread Ziggy's ashes in Feb 2016. I spent a few hours walking around trying to hang my camera on different branches because Chad (my husband and usual camera man) is out of town with our tripod.

Couldn't get the right angle or the camera would fall off or the only view I could get was of rocks. Disappointed, I tried to film in my backyard which is full of mole holes and on an angle and I kept slipping and sliding and then it got dark outside.

I couldn't bring my hoop dance vision to life outdoors without assistance, so I filmed in our living room which has fake blood all over the walls for Halloween, and terrible lighting, and of course I nailed almost everything inside (while outside was a total mess) despite taking about eight months off from hoop dance practice. The fake blood kind of goes with the song. I love this song and this movie.

I do not own the rights to this song. If I did, I would film in a real studio. ;)
