    lah de dah de dah de
  • I'll have to agree with the 1:06 shot. What I wanted to use was actually horrendously long....but so beautiful..I was a little sad I could only use a couple seconds of it.

    2:10 is my favourite.

    am i allowed to have a favourite?

    You know what's funny... the sun at 2:26 resembles the illustrator drawing I make of the sun....haha

    So many wonderful colors.
  • The best part is that when it gets to around the end of golden hour, the colours work for themselves, i don't colour correct those things because they are so much better as is. :-)

    3:22 is so cool. great shots. :)
  • Thanks so much Rookiedad, it's good to just go out and shoot things and take them in without worrying too much about anything. I guess I would see this video to be more of like a moving photograph. I like the idea that these Memory Banks serve no main purpose other than to retain a memory of a place or situation in my life.

    It's probably my favourite Final Fantasy song...Owen = Amazing.

    the play between the cam still and panning is awesome. what are those images that flash? I saw a face or something, near 2:00- 2:04
  • haha yeah that's some graffiti of a woman behind a fence. haha. It was too creepy for me to keep it in for any longer than three quick flashes. hahah. :-) thanks so much
  •  
  • spectacular.... as always !
    i have a shoot today (even rented a sony ex1 for it), and i could really need your help ! do you think tou can make it to germany, say, in 50 minutes ?
    <3
  • I'm coming over...psh shoot i'm too late I read this message 5 hours too late. Dang.

    I'll come over tomorrow and I'll help...as long as we can hang out afterwards. :-)


    EX1? Dang look at you moving up to more high tech..hee heee. I'll help you...always

    <3
  • pshh. i waited for you !!!!...FRIENDSHIP O-V-E-R !!! :)

    .. the shoot was alright ( i hope)... it's a pretty simple (and shaky.. i really can't help it) forest scene with the leaves being really beautiful this time of the year... so it better look good on camera. maybe you can work your colour correction magic on it :)
  • oh no! I'll make it up to you I promise. hee hee

    When do you move? Are you taking your brother with you? hee hee

    Hmmm autumn is so beautiful, were the leaves orange? hee hee i will help you with anything you need.

    Also...

    your vision and eyes are already very beautiful, a camera can't do that for you, it can merely enhance your vision...but you have a strong enough vision to begin with, so I know it will be good.

    :-)

    Thank you for making art meaningful.
  • that was one of the nicest things someone has ever said to me <3


    ..oh, and i'll move to vancouver end of december (by myself)

    Lovely.

    Was that some subliminal Marilyn Munroe I detected?
  • hee hee thanks bucks <3

    That was some graffiti on the power plant structure...I think it was just a woman. It was really creepy. I decided not to put in the shot but I wanted to have it somewhere. hahaha

    :-)

    OM I'm voiceless. How can you make banal things become so beautiful. You need to tell me, I think I really need you as a teacher here.
    I loved pictures but especially colors, I love purple in particular. Congratulations Karen, this was really beautiful.
  • I have no idea Marion, but its funny sometimes my friends who live around this town watch my videos and they find it hard to believe that I film stuff here because they think its a shithole. hahaha.

    Things look more amazing through my eyes. haha. I'm too emotional, i think that's what it is. Whatever you are the master of humor and bringing smiles. I need lessons on that.


    Thank you so much for your kind words my dear, you are wonderful!

  • Marion plus 1 year ago

    As always, Great choice of Music! [+And Shoes, too! :]
    p.s-2:48, u used 32 bits, HDR in there!! and u said u dunno anything bout After Effects, huh? :]
  • NO HDR!!! haha

    psh this was all FCP..no AE..

    silly!!!!

    :-)

    i like my many shoes hee hee. Hey how have you been, what are you working on these days?
  • eladbari 1 year ago
    lol..Karen :] so u just did something cool in FCP, without even knowing it :]
    i dunno what u did, but if u notice when the white flash fades away [@ 2:48 as ive said], then those holes get this cool colorful halo around them. if u would use a normal setting, it would just fade from white, to the natural colors.
    But, then again, you're a natural talent, so u just made magic without even noticing it :]

    p.s-i would Love to work on something, but i have a Huuuuge research i need to write first :$
  • hahaha...

    *colour manipulation*

    <3

    haha flash transition dip to colour over expose saturated mix.

    what is your research about?
  • eladbari 1 year ago
    oooh la la....look whose talkin' now! the FCP nerd! :]
    hehe...u know it better than all of us, Karen :]

    actually, the research is pretty interesting. its bout the psychological needs of Vloggers. :]

    So, how much was your camera and what kind is it?
  • haha i shoot with a dvx100a that i got for $1,000 a couple years ago.

    which is pretty outdated I guess since it's just standard def.

    but beggars can't be choosers.

    it reminds me of a dream I had last night. The moon was up, so I couldn't sleep, but luckily a cloud passed by about 3am and I got half an hour of sleepdreaming before the moon woke me up again..

    I like it.
  • oh wow sleepdreaming is wonderful.

    The moon is a beautiful thing.

    Thanks for sharing that, that was awesome :-)
  • Sune Amstrup 1 year ago
    You are awesome.

    But I don't like the moon when it's starring through my window and stealing my sleep.
  • Hee hee.

    I like to give the moon kisses, then he leaves me alone :-)
  • Sune Amstrup 1 year ago
