I have a deep affection for the Redwood forests of Northern California. This is my best attempt to capture the reverence I feel when in the presence of these giants.

Job well done. Some pretty epic moves.

Can I ask where the majority of this was shot? It all looks like Henry Cowell near Santa Cruz.
Jesse Rosten 1 year ago

Mostly up north around Humbodlt County. Shot a lot at Rockefeller Grove and some in around Prairie Creek.
John Hamilton 1 year ago

Thanks. Humbodlt County is beautiful. All those redwoods look so alike. Nice work!

I had to make an account just to write this, I felt the need to say how stunning the two combined are, voice and video. I didn't want it to end!!!
rick viscara 1 year ago

LoL.. This is my home the place were I grew up.. The mountains of Santa Cruz.. A place so so far removed from the yuppies of the silicon valley and often forgotten by most. Except for perhaps the tourist that just barely see them as they pass scottsvalley on their way to the tourist trap of the boardwalk. "Just the way I hope it stays hidden" Just last week some yuppie engineer got lost in these woods while "Geo Cache" with his GPS without a flashlight..... Goes to show you how much silicon valley yuppies know about these mountains and how to live in them.
Jamie Pippin 1 year ago

you captured the reverence, that's for sure.

I grew up in Humboldt, a short hike from Whitmore Grove. I was visiting in 2001 when 9/11 occurred, and the serenity provided by the abiding majesty of these trees was much needed. I now live in Florida, and thank you for this beautiful reminder of what was once physically, and always spiritually my home.

M. Keegan Uhl 1 year ago

Gorgeous. Great work man. Can I ask what the yellow flarey thing you've added is? Something you've shot or some sort of flare plugin? Also, did you do the tilt-shift with a lens or in post? Looks great. Inspiring.

This makes me feel so homesick. I miss Humboldt, and the actualization of no longer seeing the forest for the trees.

Kevin Gilmore 1 year ago

What a pleasant peaceful thing to watch and listen to. I liked your filmy over exposure transitions. They really worked well. They felt HD carefully chosen as opposed to trying to make HD look like 16mm film.

Very Beautiful and Serene. I have never walked there but now I feel like I might have in a dream. Very nice!
