A road trip straight through Israel. Had no idea what the complexities and diversity of the cultures were, but I got deeper and deeper, seeing all walks of life living together in this amazing land. The conglomerate of things happening in that tiny, but EPIC country (it's smaller than New Jersey!) packed a punch like a bustling beehive. I was overwhelmed and totally let Israel envelope me. I bonded with every flavor of person there... they were all Israeli. They were all beautiful people. (By the way, the title isn't spelled wrong, lol...read it again ;)

Shot with the 7D and edited with Sony Vegas
I edited this video with a fever, kidney infection, and $4 headphones! LOL.
Music by the amazing John Adams (Harmonielehre_ Part III - Meister) amazon.com/gp/product/B000TH4VOK/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk3

Featured in The Atlantic Magazine

SPECIAL THANKS:
-GONCALO DE ALMEIDA COSTA for touring me to the best places and meeting the best guides and locals!
-KEITH RIVERS for letting me borrow his camera for the trip!
-NATHAN MILLER for stocking me up on batteries and cards!
Thank you guys for trusting me with your stuff! haha.

Matthew Brown (Matty Brown) 4 months ago

Thank you, Ethan! It was actually the day of the year where the whole country stops in a moment of silence for the victims of the Holocaust. Quite an amazing sight. :)

Joaquin Baldwin 4 months ago

Dude, you are incredible. I was fully transported. I love the sfx you added to some shots, blending with the music, and the buildup was epic.
Joaquin Baldwin 4 months ago

Oh, question: 7D? Did you manually focus the whole time after initial focus? How the fuck?
Matthew Brown (Matty Brown) 4 months ago

Joaquin, thank you man!!!!! Means a lot!! And not sure what you mean about the 7D. I did use manual focus the whole time, yes...don't know what initial focus, hehe. I am actually pretty naive when it comes to cameras. I just experiment with them until I get it down hehe
