Sometimes if you work too much, it drive you absolutely crazy. I don't think I could've sat in front of my computer for much longer. Haha. It' good to breathe.

You're beautiful. Young lady. hee hee

You should get lost more often.

fight me
now

I'm on my way.

Well.....supposed to be an hour and a half ish....but a couple more hours if you are lost....haha.

<3<3

We need to adventure one day.

*emails Bucks a kiss*

Marion, if I keep dreaming anymore..I'm going to end up floating away on a balloon!

haha one day I'll walk by you and you'll know...just cause of my shoes...

haha

<3

haha you are a world class traveler!

I know being impulsive is somewhat scary because I've been known to just up and leave.

hahaha.

Music: "Ignorant Boy, Beautiful Girl" - Loney, Dear

I use a Davis & Sanford tripod, it kinda sucks to be honest, but for what I paid it's good enough. The knobs are in a really awkward place. However, it does have a fluid head so that is one plus :-)


Thanks a lot Rebecca

Oh you Jon! chirp chirp <3

i have a jon salazar sitting on my desk. that wont make any sense now but it will later...haha

Thanks so much Anne. :-) I wish you guys could come adventure with me!

Sleepover with Casey!!!!

hee hee of course you can visit any time! Life can never run out of adventures!

You should make a destionationless drive video too! :-)

:D kk i will ;)
Ill post a thread in the Forums also

Haha I don't know about all that, but I do enjoy looking through the lens. You're too kind, thanks Gayle.

:-) Aww thanks so much. You should make a video of your adventures too! (Steal Charlie's video camera.) <3

What would be even greater? You and me exploring.

agreed.

Hahaha...You're too kind my dear friend. This is what I do, for easy replication:

Grab camera.
Get in car.
Drive.
Stop at the side of the road.
Spend time looking around.
Breathe.
Shoot some random stuff.
Look out and enjoy.
Get in car.
Repeat.

<3

Thanks a lot Michael. :-)

shot caller. ;-)

I'm not posting this to impress anyone. This is like a video journal. I am the least bit concerned if people enjoy or like what I post here, I post it for myself and to retain a memory.

I'm sorry that landscapes are unoriginal and lackluster for you, for me, I still enjoy them. And it's more about the moment that I experienced rather than the small iota of what is perceived in this video.

On that same note, I've seen hundreds and thousands of videos of clouds, but it doesn't make me like them any less.

I suggest you don't watch any of my other videos, you'll just find more "landscape shots and plants that go in and out of focus."

Don't apologize, it is still a good video. I just had to say it lol. I just want to see a little more creativity is all. Your videos are good but they are also very repetitive, just like a lot of the videos on here. Didn't mean to come off as a dick. Sorry if I did.

It's fine, you're entitled to your own opinion, everyone is. That's the awesome thing about creating, it's so subjective.

That's the thing...you could have the same content...let's say..this lake that I shot. You could shoot it with your video camera, you could shoot it with your cellphone, you could take a million photos of it, you could rotoscope and animate it etc..that paired up with how you edit, and what piece of music or lack of music you decide to pair up with it...is what makes every single landscape video on vimeo different. And when it comes down to it...it is still a lake...but perceived through the eyes of different people.

When someone sees something that they want to shoot, how they edit it or present it gives it a different mood...so albeit hundreds and thousands of videos of plants and landscapes on vimeo, any one video could be special to the person who uploads it...and in that case, I'm glad there there's so many of them. And I can also bet that there are more videos on here than just those, maybe the ones you happen to stumble upon are, but Vimeo is a community filled with incredible talent and creativity, don't be dissuaded at the number of "landscape videos" you see.

There's more creativity on this website than anyone could possibly ever handle.

:-)

My videos may be "very repetitive", but I try to experiment with different mediums and editing...so in that sense, the repetitiveness of my experimentation is apparent in my videos. No harsh feelings, Mr. Gallagher.

I get that there are a lot of other videos on this site with some crazy stuff but there are a bunch more videos like these. It has gotten to the point where there is no special editing, its just nice images with soft music in the background. It is extremely predictable.

Haha. Yeah.

I've never watched any of your videos, nor do I know how involved of an editor you are...but let me just tell you this...

This video looks so simple and nothing "special" with the editing...but it surely took me over 6 hours to edit this video. There's no way my camera could ever capture the aesthetics that ends up in the final output of this video. It's a lot of precision in marking and color correction in order to attain the closest resemblance to what is actually perceived with my eyes during the moment.

Even picking a specific song is extremely intentional and how it interacts with any piece of video.

I don't even know if your statement was about this in particular, but I guess it's not that important.

Getting "nice images" is a lot harder than it seems...

And if a couple people "like" or "get" it...then something is more right than not.

But I think the bottom line is, if the video means enough to the person that they would upload it and share it with people they care about, let alone strangers, I'm pretty sure they don't care if their video doesn't have special editing or is extremely predictable.

I know editing and some things are easy to edit and others not. But to be completely honest with you getting a nice image is very simple. You just need to have an eye for it. That's why photography is kind of a joke lol. Color correction takes time and it's worth it but I mean to each his/her own. =)

I stand by what I say:

Getting a nice image is not as easy at it seems, even if you "have an eye for it."

Photography is not a joke.

Color Correction and being a Colorist is an art on its own.


That is all.

End.

May we see some of your nice, easily attained images please?:)

=) Sure. I don't have a video yet... But I will within the next week but I have a few simple pictures that look nice but took really no effort.

photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v347/11/8/748830198/n748830198_1872348_892.jpg

Those are meh, I mean they could easily be better but that was with a regular digital camrea. Nothing special. Like I said photography is kind o a joke.

I would think that someone arguing that photography is a joke and that it's easy to obtain a nice image easily would have brought to the table something that wasn't "meh" and "could be better".........

Yea I would too, but I honestly don't care. I think it simply and not hard to take a artsy/nice picture, at all. Simple as that. Asking me to post pictures it kind of silly seeing how we all look at things differently. For example you could hate a picture and I could love it. Photography is not difficult. There really is nothing more to say to that. You'd think you would have realized that it is just an opinion. I overestimated the intelligence of the people on this site. =p My bad.

Kindly stop posting comments on my video, Russel Gallagher. If you have more you need to say to me or anyone else, please just send me or them a message or open up a discussion post in the forum in regards to the "lack of intelligence of people on this site." Thank you.

Aww thanks a lot nv1962. My senses are always tickled when I am shooting and editing. :-)

Thank you!

Do it! and Shoot it! :-)

<3 Thanks.

Aww how sweet of you to say, thank you Matt. :-)

you bet :)

My car is camera shy, he doesn't like to be filmed, I have to respect his decision. haha.

Thanks for taking the time to watch this Rusty. :-)

I meant... any cars!
For a driving video it was a nice escape from cars.
:~)

Actually, there were 2 cars...one in the wide shot of the pan left, but i cut it right before the car came in...and another one with the closeup of the grass sticking out of the rock by the side of the road, a car drove past in the background, but i cut it because it was distracting.


lurkers!
haha :-)

Thanks a lot! You're too kind. I usually edit with Final Cut Pro. I use iMovie HD for Photomotion and Stop motion Animation and After Effects for digital animation. :-)

awesome :)
i shall be investing in final cut pro on wednesday just after i buy my new macbook pro!!
:) I CANT PHYSICLY WAIT MUCH LONGER!!!!

Thanks a lot Kevin. :-) Adventures are perfect.

Yeah! And you should take a camera or a video camera! However sometimes, it's nice to escape and not have any of that stuff, maybe just a good book. Thanks for watching Daniel!

The only thing missing is you.

<3

I long to create with you guys. So badly.

Do it.
Get in a car
or on a bike.
and just go...

Thanks Teah! You are such a darling. <3

Thanks a lot Max! You're awesome.

It's in Lake Berryessa, where exactly, I wouldn't be able to tell you because even I have no idea.

haha

:-) Thanks so much for checking this out, I appreciate it a lot.

Driving is optional...you can go for a long walk or a long bike ride.

Hahaha. Yeah I don't like showing my face on camera so I guess we can stick to these colorful little shoes.


Thanks a lot P.urtle. Seriously, one day, just go on an adventure!

Haha....that's true. And even if the world gets demolished, I will still try to make videos of how nice it is...haha.

Thank you so much sweet Remi.

Thanks a lot Eric P. I'm glad you are able to take some time to just join me on this visual - auditory adventure!

You are so kind to me. I think you so much for your kind words, encouragement, and constant support of my work. It really means a lot to me. <3
