Horse Nonce

I'm currently in the process of commissioning a video for James Blunt's next single, 'Love Love Love'. I had some scripts in yesterday. A couple were good. And then I got one in today that changed things. Here's the opening paragraph:

‘James is walking across a landscape with a small sack and a guitar and comes across a horse. He stops for a moment and he and the horse exchange looks. He walks on and the horse follows. James lowers his wares and goes to the horse, strokes it and sings. He runs his hands over its glossy skin and looks closely into its eyes. The horse rolls around on the ground playfully then bends its front legs beckoning James to climb onto its back. James rides the horse bareback into a sequence of movements that depict a physical bond between the two bodies, a spirited union of motion. They come to a stop. James gets off the horse. The horse walks away.’

And this is one of the pictures that accompanied the treatment:

It's hard to know what to say.
