The Highwayman again

LiteracyI posted a few weeks ago about an excellent site for the Highway Man poem.  Now I've come across another version of the poem on YouTube.  This is a short machinima film by Kheri and Michelle, set in England in the 1700's, based on the poem 'The Highwayman' set to music of the same title by Loreena McKennitt, filmed with The Sims 2.  It's sung beautifully and the children love the video to go with it - it's amazing how it draws you into the song.

For those that have no access to YouTube at school (which is most of us luckily!) you can also view it at the Britannica Dreams Productions website.
