Pandora, Russ and Ruth



This video was produced using Windows Movie Maker: Audio file of Ruth Wallis's Song "Boobs" was captured, recorded and edited with Audacity. The file was from the Internet Archive at: http://www.archive.org/details/ruth_wallis-boobs Video clips were taken from a file called zippy-PandoraRM.mpg downloaded from Rapidshare. zippy-PandoraRM.mpg is a compilation of clips extracted from Russ Meyer's movie titled "Pandora Peaks"

If there is a problem with the files used let me know if Blogger and/or unless Google removes this video first. I'm not trying to make any money or get away with anything. I am sincere in my thoughts about why I made this video. I had discovered Ruth Wallis by accident on the Internet Archive website. Although I had never heard her song "Boobs" that I can recall, it sounded oddly familiar. Searching with "boobs" on Google I discovered several video files and a link to zippy-PandoraRM.mpg on Rapidshare. After downloading it and playing it I put Ruth Wallis's Song and Russ Meyer's Movie together. By pure luck in my editing of the Song "Boobs" and The simple "Cut-N-Paste" of clips from zippy-PandoraRM.mpg, everything feel into to place like it all was part of a puzzle.

Pandora was in primo shape for this movie. I don't even see this as a Sexual thing. She just looked so incredible, a walking piece of Art. Pandora is Art! I like the expressions on Pandora's face while she's dancing. Her expressions are amusing, funny, playful and fairly innocent in nature. I listen to this at work when I'm stressed and it always brings a smile to my face. Although I can only hear Ruth singing I know the sequence of Pandora's dance performance to be able to visualize it.

I wonder if Russ Meyer's was humming "Boobs" or was stuck in his head while filming "Pandora Peaks" If anything I only hope that this might benefit the Estates of Russ Meyer and Ruth Wallis from potential increased sales that could possibly be realized through peoples exposure to their work with this video.

I do not feel Russ and Ruth garnered the recognition they deserved for their contribution to Society with their Art.
