Director - Giovanni Maccelli (Italy-Spain).
Animation Script: Susana López.
Production: Carlota Coronado y Giovanni Maccelli.

Remember the story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish? Now, imagine a formula where seeing a cherished dream come true would be identical to catching a gold fish. Wishing and dreaming. And sparing no effort to achieve set goals and to see big dreams and wishes fulfilled. Isn't it what we all do? Life is a pursuit of gold fish. But what if we kept catching ordinary ones instead?.. Would that label us "unlucky"? Or perhaps our ordinary is just as good as someone else's gold? That's up to you to decide whether to view such a scenario as pessimistic or optimistic. Personally, I consider it realistic.

The actual music video is a result of some serious international collaboration: Italy, Spain, Armenia... An epic ballad from Aram Rian's upcoming solo album "Carlyle Road" plus stunning, top-notch, stop-motion animation from a multiple award-winning Italian director Giovanni Maccelli. The crew of professionals involved: Director - Giovanni Maccelli, script - Susana López, production - Carlota Coronado, art director - Beatriz Martínez, puppet creation - Manuel Rubio Nájera, photography - Giovanni Maccelli, animation - Elena del Moral, music video production - Aram Rian, Albert Poghosyan.

Enjoy and share!

OFF THE BEATEN PATH
©2010 Aram Rian

What if I said my life was on the skids
Though I'd taken all the lids
Off my fortune's jars?
And if I cried, would you believe my tears?
Would you wait for a thousand years,
If I hit local bars?

It's been a waste of space and time.
The page is blank, there's no bottom-line.

Off the beaten path,
Far and vague,
Dreams have a laugh
Avoiding me like a plague,
While my plans are at stake.

What was the point of floating on a cloud?
I still can't figure out
Why I've been so naíve.
How could the truth I searched for relocate
So swiftly from that heaven's gate
Right into this pint of beer?

It's been a waste of space and time.
The page is blank, there's no bottom-line.

Off the beaten path,
Far and vague,
Dreams have a laugh
Avoiding me like a plague,
While my plans are at stake.

And it's too late for me to change.
I can but seek revenge
Over my dreams,
Over my dreams.
