It appears to need ‘BicycleBuiltForTwo.mov’. Do you use Gallery for photos?

Didn’t work for me either…. Opened in the browswer, I had rakkity’s problem. Saved to the desktop and opened from there, I had Freddie’s.

It might work now but it’s no longer dialup size.
pesky godson
Works great for me now.
Bravo! What a great little movie. Somewhere my Dad is staring at a computer with his mouth open going “how did he do that??”
pohaku
Clever rebound off this art, very. And I too would like to know “how he did that.”
Great call, Adam and Dan.
Heroic detour for Michael, who added on more psychosis inducing sleep deprivation, but made the results ALL worthwhile.
Jennifer
Straight out of Mary Poppins (the BOOKS by P.L.Travers, not the movie). Nicely done. By why would you want to be there?
FierceBaby
Top drawer; well worth the wait!
adam
Better than the best I’d hoped for! So glad you took the detour (despite your 2:50 a.m. arrival home … ), and so glad it was findable (and real!). But where are the local children of whom you spoke?
michael
Jennifer, we (Diane and Carolyn Forche) missed you tonight. Isn’t listening to poetry somewhat like slipping into someone else’s reality? I wouldn’t want to find myself in one of Carolyn’s poems, but Grohe has my world spread around Ohio .
Adam, the town was findable thanks to you, and the building art happened to be on or near main street, but I’d say luck more than anything allowed me to drift in the right direction. Entering Bucyrus is not unlike driving into Millinocket. There are a whole lot of roads from which to choose. I knew I could always ask someone, but I was happy I didn’t have to.
The three boys will appear along with the second Grohe building in my next movie.

Google trompe l’oeil bucyrus (try to say that with a mouth full of pizza), and you can read all about it.
Thank you Michael Through-the-Looking-Glass Miller. It was well worth the 5 min wait. And the underground cicadas that live around our phone line loved it too.
Jennifer
I have absolutely no idea what this means: “Jennifer, we (Diane and Carolyn Forche) missed you tonight.” Talk about slipping into someone else’s reality. (And already I couldn’t sleep.)

This year’s Robert Creely Award wining poet. Diane recalls that you caught Grace Paley with us three years ago.
Five minutes…I wondered how long and even if you’d try.
rakkity
Five minutes is nothing. I remember back in the 18K modem days when I’d start a download and come back after dinner or the next morning to retrieve the electronic bundle.
smiling Dan
FiOS 15 Mbps: 10 seconds to download.
Phenomenal, Mr. Miller….
a) That you’d actually detour from a 19 hour drive to go there
b) How you blended yourslef into that improbably beautiful mural-world
c) How you rendered this experience, complete with the tune that I unconsciously hum when I’m happy.
Incredible. Art squared.

“That you’d actually detour from a 19 hour drive to go there.”
Email from Dan while I was in Indiana:
“Mike, could you stop by Bucyrus OH on your way home and find out if these murals are for real?  I find myself unable to suspend skepticism…”
And, Dan, how could I not use “your” song? It reminds me of the old days when you too were part of the camping group.
smiling Dan
Michael, on further reflection, I don’t believe you anymore than I believe those murals…and that last scene proves my point.
Would you mind driving Adam and me back there on the weekend?
FierceBaby
I keep going back to this little movie. Makes me smile. Enough to spur me to go to a Bucyrus website. There I made an interesting discovery. Not only did Michael enter the mural near the end of the piece, but sometime earlier he conjured up the bench on the green so he’d have somewhere to sit when he got there. Really wonderful attention to detail, Mikey.
michael
What a funny way to put it: “…so he’d have somewhere to sit when he got there.”
rakkity
Waited for the download (3 minutes) and all I got was a blank screen. (Top line said quicktime object)
Jennifer
I didn’t have to wait (high speed), but something flashed and then a broken or torn quicktime logo appeared. Would love to know where you are.
