[MUSIC]	 	
Bonjour. I am Sophie Renoir, and “avec plaisir” I welcome you to Lasting Impressions.	Impressionist paintings have been animated so that they appear to move like real life	
The word Impressionism was first used when painters, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and my great grandfather Pierre August Renoir pursued painting “au plainir”	 	
Placing their easels along the banks of the Seinne, and on the streets of Paris.	 	
 	This one is a guy on a really big hill	
 	And then there are some boats in the water	
You see, camera had come along to capture reality, so these artists did not have to focus on reality. 	 	
[MUSIC]	 	
With swipes of colour and swirls of light, they were creating something beyond reality, something, perhaps, even more beautiful.	 	
Lasting Impressions takes you into the minds and works of the most famous names in art.	 	
We will give you the experience of being one of the Impressionists. You will see the world through their eyes. It is as if you were in the exact moment of their inspiration, and you become part of the painting, living among the brush strokes.	 	
 	The camera zooms into a couple (painted) within the painting. They are wearing address, and a top hat, and the lady has an umbrella, and the man, a cane	
Allow the breeze to caress you as it whispers through the cypress trees, and feel the cobblestone streets under your feet. Oh, c’est magnifique.
