last night had a vision of lady of shallot and galadriel…and found this…truthfully i liked the monotone…things have been out of balance with drama…nice to watch and not cry…
especially considering you're a high school boy (and having just graduated, experience has led me to expect very little from your species) I am most highly impressed. This is one of my favorite poems, and you did the entire thing with beautiful clips and managed to pronounce everything right (except bower- you said it boh-er, the bow is said like "wow") & though some might think it monotonous, you're not an actor & you did most wonderfully. I love it.
this poem is full of imagery, and this video helps a lot. it could help readers of the poem perceive its imagery more clearly.a combination of voice and movie make the litery work more appealing.
i am in speech and i did my poetry over this poem. the program included this poem and the song of the sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell....it was awesome and this poem is AWESOME!!!!
Woah, when it says, "im half sick of shadows" it jerked my attention... cuz i was looking for anything else to watch. Jeeze, thats some lifeless reading. Love the video though.
Well, that was very entertaining in both comedy and emotion. Poetry a little scratchy in the reading, but I still enjoied this emensely. I give u an A and 4 stars.
I actully enjoy this reading very much. Keep in mind, this was for HIGH SCHOOL class. The visuals were very complementory of the actual poem, and although the poem was read lifelessly, the voice reading kept a very nice pase and spoke clearly. This is a morbid poem, and she DIES at the end, so the lifelessness, in my opinion adds a very VERY nice touch. And the Monty Python, it kept my class attentive to the poem.
I am a grade 10 English teacher and I think you guys did a phenomenal job! yes, the reading was terribly boring, the phrasing incorrect, the tone mundane, - if you listen to your critics -but you succeeded in capturing the meaning of the poem in a way all students will enjoy it! Students love humour to break tension or boredom and you certainly achieved that. I played this to my students and they scored you top marks. Poetry is for audience appreciation after all! well done young men!
Yes, lighten up everyone. This is one of my favorite poems, but I think what they did with it is hilarious even so!!! It made me LOL. Those of you that want to be serious about it check out Loreena McKennit's version, where she has put the words to music.
I think you did a great job! Your teacher must have given you a good grade on this project! But honestly, I prefer the version sung by Loreena McKennitt.
@GreenRover232 I actually enjoyed this video more I can understand what he is saying while reading a poem rather than singing it perhaps a little more feeling would not hurt
omg we where doing this at school its realy complicated: Its about this woman which was put on an island (no reason)and always weaves and weaves and shes fed up and shes had a past realtionship with lance alot and she fell in love with him so she tries to get on the boat and run away but she has curse... and she dies... thats not all of it lol if u wanna know full info pm me
This was BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!! Though I'm not sure how Tennyson would feel about having his poems in any way connected to Monty Python.... hmmmmmm. Brilliant anyway, thankfully he's dead!
Its funny, and I dont think people need to take it so seriously, but the voice could use some work, but I can cut you some slack as you arent trained in that.
Oh come on, you guys, the whole point of this production is that they are NOT taking it seriously! That's what makes it hilarious! Too many dramatic readings I've heard of this have been stuffy and boring. This was not in the least bit dramatic, but it sure made me laugh :-)
Maybe your teacher should have asked you to listen to Loreena Mckennit's single and feel the words and the tone before you change a powerful poem full of feelings and sorrow to an emotionless and cold comedy video. 4 years too late to advise though.
@TheBaconlaser O! not for wont of wit this be, But human heart and energy, Made dull they Monty? Villainy, Get thee hence, heathen, from Shalott! (I agreed with your assessment of the reading, I suppose...) ;)
i'm not mean, i'm sayin the accent is not fit for this poem. plus the intonation. like someone just said, it feels "like he's reading the grocery shopping list"
The video is good, but the reading is TERRIBLE!! There is so much feeling in 'The Lady of Shalott', but this reading rips all feeling from the beauty of this poem.
Well, at least the photography is great. What's with these guys' teacher? Sing song sing song sing song. da da da DA da da DA (I've heard little kids do Mother Goose Rhymes better than this!)
A LITTLE more passion? Could this be more wooden? Sounds like a really bad grade school reading. Very disappointing as I was hoping to hear the golden voice of Loreena McKennitt and get this dweeb instead.
good grief are you late for an appointment of something? Couldn't listen to the whole thing, shame to ruin such such a beautiful poem. Sorry but this is God awful.
Cate Blanchett is a beautiful ELF. She is an example of the Norse people. Blondie, Blue eyes, tall and beauty.

This was just lovely, and I love the song by Loreena McKennitt and as well I like how you put my fav. old Camelot movie.

Whatever you're doing to it, this is fab, still love it.

very funny inserts with the Monty Python bits, and Shalott's Lady's voice!

I like his voice. The words are clear too.
Well, that was very entertaining in both comedy and emotion. Poetry a little scratchy in the reading, but I still enjoied this emensely. I give u an A and 4 stars.
This is wonderful!! Great job! :D
OMG!
have to memorise half of the poem for school homework!!!!!!
the voice. you man... you have a COLD!!!
Don't even try to attempt this! Love the video.

I'm a high school student, and I love this poem, despite the fact that it's missing 'sex, violence blood and/or humor.' Funny how that works, huh?
OMG! I like it very much!!!! :D Congratulations! :D
i love the humour in this.

I love this poem, but it does sound very....monotone...still great video, I love your clips from Monty Python!
great job* Hope you got an A+
I think it's realy good and I don't think the narration is that bad.
Anyway the pictures fit
wow i think you did a good job.
great, i like your voice. (is it your voice or another one?)
This made my day, lol.
LMAO at Monty Python!!!!! :D
Monty Python. xD I'm sorry, I look at any clip from that movie without laughing.
Agree with this. It would help if he read it a bit more slowly.
I think you did a great job! Your teacher must have given you a good grade on this project! But honestly, I prefer the version sung by Loreena McKennitt.
plzzz will someone tell me the name of the song dat plays rite at the beginning...ive been looking for it for ages... !!!
Star trek next gen reading this; thanks data.
Belt it out as fast as you can,you don't understand a word. Aeiou THE
@TheBaconlaser Agreed. Listen to Loreena Mckennit's version. You will not be dissapointed.
@GreenRover232 I actually enjoyed this video more I can understand what he is saying while reading a poem rather than singing it perhaps a little more feeling would not hurt
Except that the poem is read devoid of any passion or heart, the piece was well made.
;-D
The best version you won't find on RUclips. Trust me, I've looked. Search Amazon for Anthology of English Verse Vol2. Michael Hordern the reader.
This was a high school English project, by some guys who don't like English. Of course they sound bored and monotone.
wow, that was harsh!!!
omg we where doing this at school its realy complicated:
Its about this woman which was put on an island (no reason)and always weaves and weaves and shes fed up and shes had a past realtionship with lance alot and she fell in love with him
so she tries to get on the boat and run away but she has curse... and she dies... thats not all of it lol if u wanna know full info pm me
cool one, dudes =)
does it matter if it is not your culture ? the more you learn about different culutures the better :)
Tennyson would turn in his grave, the readers do not understand the words.
i love the end lol
credits are ledgend!
This was BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!! Though I'm not sure how Tennyson would feel about having his poems in any way connected to Monty Python.... hmmmmmm. Brilliant anyway, thankfully he's dead!
omg im doing an english project... sigh this helps
Camelot CAMELOT CAMELOT!!!
nice
the commentary at the end is kind of funny
her voice scares me and im not sure whats going on
On Second Thoughts, Lets Not Go To Camelot, It Is A Silly Place, hahahahaha, thats crack up, lol
Even on helium.
Please read this wonderful poem a little bit more slowly.......voice ok.....but slow it down.....
You could do with a little intonation... or sentence weaving. I like the video though, adds to the poem :D
Its funny, and I dont think people need to take it so seriously, but the voice could use some work, but I can cut you some slack as you arent trained in that.
Oh come on, you guys, the whole point of this production is that they are NOT taking it seriously! That's what makes it hilarious! Too many dramatic readings I've heard of this have been stuffy and boring. This was not in the least bit dramatic, but it sure made me laugh :-)
Oh, how I wish Amricans would not try to read poetry ! Butcher is a good word for you !
u cud hav sed this poem so much bttr....
Standuffish - dude are you clueless?Parrty On!
it's really nice, and the voicing was decent, but just a little more passion would have been nice.
still, glad for your project on this poem.
they should have played pink floyd with the video
you did a good job but you need to slow down!!
Maybe your teacher should have asked you to listen to Loreena Mckennit's single and feel the words and the tone before you change a powerful poem full of feelings and sorrow to an emotionless and cold comedy video. 4 years too late to advise though.
@TheBaconlaser O! not for wont of wit this be,
But human heart and energy,
Made dull they Monty? Villainy,
Get thee hence, heathen, from Shalott!
(I agreed with your assessment of the reading, I suppose...) ;)
any1 got cliffs notes for this poem
that dont have emotion. I mean even byakuya from bleach has more emotion in his voice!! but the clips are great btw :)
Isn't shalot spelled shalott? O.o;;
Anyway, good job!
déesse means goddess
funny ;]
Wow. Ya know...like, ...they like... probably even...ya know like... got a passing grade like...even..ya know. Wow.
*can't
w00t monty python
It sounds like computer voice over to me. Or the yellow pages... How distasteful!
my english teacher made us watch this, loads better than writing though
YES it would, plus his his acent is atrocious!
are they kidding??? is this a joke? ...
i'm not mean, i'm sayin the accent is not fit for this poem. plus the intonation.
like someone just said, it feels "like he's reading the grocery shopping list"
Its a shame, its a wonderful poem but this gentleman cannot read...
Haha... the colors gay. *teehee*
The video is good, but the reading is TERRIBLE!! There is so much feeling in 'The Lady of Shalott', but this reading rips all feeling from the beauty of this poem.
typo haha * culture
awesome! check mine out that I had to do for my project
Well, at least the photography is great. What's with these guys' teacher? Sing song sing song sing song. da da da DA da da DA (I've heard little kids do Mother Goose Rhymes better than this!)
goodness... I have to say: the reading of the poem is terrible. It's not a computer program, it's a poem and a story that is to be told. Eesh.
Please next time you read a poem put some emotion into it. this is terrible monotone.

@aln29540 I have heard much worse reading
A LITTLE more passion? Could this be more wooden? Sounds like a really bad grade school reading. Very disappointing as I was hoping to hear the golden voice of Loreena McKennitt and get this dweeb instead.
emotionless, and horrific reading...mixed with Monty Python?.blasphamy to both Python and Tennyson
good grief are you late for an appointment of something? Couldn't listen to the whole thing, shame to ruin such such a beautiful poem. Sorry but this is God awful.
this sounds so bad, try next time
american accent huh... not good for poem readin...
the guy reading sucks. He's ruined the poem
