Sri Lanka - Prologue

When we were looking at places to travel to from Singapore, I suggested going to Sri Lanka to seek out the sites where Duran Duran filmed their videos in the 1980s. We both jumped at the idea because we thought it might be a fun way to explore a new country. We researched where Duran Duran filmed the three videos - Hungry Like the Wolf, Save a Prayer, and Lonely in Your Nightmare - and planned out an itinerary to hit the major film sites.

In true Jeff fashion, however, he decided to take this one step further by reenacting some of the scenes. This added another dimension of fun to our explorations. There are six reenactment videos among the footprints 👣 😂.

For reference, here are URLs for the videos:

Hungry Like the Wolf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJL-lCzEXgI
Our two reenactments are at 0:26 to 0:42, and 2:16 to 2:19.

Save a Prayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uxc9eFcZyM
We did three reenactments to this video. They are at: 2:25 to 2:45, 4:03 to 4:17, and 4:40 to 5:56.

Lonely in Your Nightmare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGdLNbIc2ZA
