When the Snows Fall
11 months ago
The leaves have dropped and the snow is falling! It's a somber and quiet time of year. Here is a collection of clips depicting that transition from Autumn to Winter, from snowfall to the magical morning after when the flakes cling to the trees. There is an abrupt transition from one piece of music to the next, it's meant to do that! I thought it would represent the abrupt transition from snowstorm to crystal clear morning! This was mostly shot with my Sony EX1 with Letus Extreme, some V1 shots from the archives as well.
The music is "The Promise" from Michael Nyman's soundtrack to "The Piano", one of the most hauntingly brilliant piano pieces I've ever heard. After the change it goes to "First Time Outside" from the movie "Secret Garden" by Zbigniew Preisner. Buy these CDs if you can find them! I've had them and enjoyed them for nearly 20 years, I felt like they fit the mood perfectly for this video.

I shoot with an EX1 in progressive ( a mix of 720 and 1080), the key to me is to shoot progressive. Then edit native XDCAM 720p in FCP. Output a self contained movie with Apple Pro Res. Import into MPEG STREAMCLIP. Select Export as MPEG-4 (new window defaults to H.264) make sure it says "Limit data rate to 5000 kbs" and set quality to 70 %. You can do higher but the file size is HUGE. The key is the "limit data rate to" selection. VIMEO says to use 3000 to 5000 range. I always use the max.
Good luck!

Beautiful.
so nice quality...
I like the sudden break in the music, but he second one being in a different key jarred a little for me.
Best wishes of the season

How did you get the redish sky in the second part?
What a great piece of work. One I would love to emulate.
Well done mate!
That was a product of just stopping down the lens to F11 to compensate for the backlit tree! There were thin clouds moving fast behind it. When you iris WAY down, it tends to warm up the image some, the sky was slightly red, but by stopping down it enhanced it.
very great job --respect-- peace
Thank you for this one!
Thank you for sharing Paul.
