Zach B asked (in the comments of Teaser 008) for a clip that didn't have a bicycle in it - he wanted something that was perhaps a macro, or had a silhouette in it... so I tried to include a bunch of those with this shot-pick.

This sunset and the blades of grass in the wind with the crickets reminds of 'Days of Heaven'.

There's something about this clip that is heavily nostalgic for me. I can remember so clearly nights from my past bicycle trips, laying in my sleeping bag on the grass... hearing the bugs... watching the sun sink behind the horizon as I tried to finish writing in my journal about that day when I'm watching this.

Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.

    You really went for the pre-magic hour natural lighting effect with this shot.

    every hour is a magic hour when you're around mike ambs.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 10 months ago
    @Zach :) Thanks - hope this was more what you had in mind... I have a few more clips in line that fit what you mentioned.

    @Loonachic ;) You're too kind. I wish I was that awesome.

    oh man! so nice! I miss summer evening hearing the grasshoppers sing! Off I go to shovel my driveway for the first of many times this weekend.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 10 months ago
    Hey Ashley :) I love the sounds bugs make at night... don't hear a lot of that on my street in LA. Kinda' have to go into the Santa Monica mountains for that. Enjoy the snow! I'm so sad I just missed it.

    That... is a very, very flattering comment, Sean :) 'Days of Heave' is in the top 3 inspirations for the film. Your comment makes me very happy. Thanks for watching.

    that reminds me of days of heaven too.
  • mike ambs ☂ plus 10 months ago
    You and Sean are gonna give me a heart attack from happiness :) That compliment is... just yea, like I said to Sean above, 'Days of Heave' is in the top 3 films that inspire this project.

    Not that I'll ever be as cool as Malick... but still, his films inspire me to no end!
