Thanks Mike, just trying to have fun with color!

Wow! Now that was unexpected, on a number of levels. At times it felt just like a polaroid, and never did it stray from the wonder of memory. I love that you've continued to push the envelope experimentally, trying some new steps. The soundtrack was a surprise as well. Deliciously sweet and packed with emotion. I pulled out the headphones and watched it 3 times!
MariaNYC 9 months ago

it was unexpected for me as well lol but it's nice to play around and see where things lead to. Thanks for stopping by!

A fantastic video for a fantastic song - I could go on forever so I'll just say both are amazing Maria! The composites, colors, and blurs all work together so nicely to create this wonderful tribute to memories.

A used to love shooting with my Polariods! Got about 15 different Poloroid cameras up in attic somewhere and I've always wanted to make a film centered around them somehow - I think perhaps you have now inspired me to make that film Maria - Congrats on making this great video!
Carrotkid 9 months ago

Say, did you use any MB with this one?
MariaNYC 9 months ago

only on some shots, most shots were CC 3 way and composited so they couldn't get the MB (didn't need it) but a few needed it
moriza 9 months ago

This video is freaking awesome. An instant favorite. Beautifully shoot composed and rendered. I love it Maria!

Thanks Mo.

Maria - Love this. Your comment to me earlier reminded me I hadn't visited your page in a while. Was drawn to this one, really excellent use of media plus love the high contrast work near the ned of the ocean. Perfect fitting piece of music too thick but floating...
David Linacre 9 months ago

Nice. I love it! How did you create the stuff you've done with the birds? And was all color correction done on FCP?
MariaNYC 9 months ago

Thanks. Superimposed shots. Yes, all the CC was done in FCP some shots used some Magic Bullet Looks

Thanks Lawrence
scott 9 months ago

Another breathtaking creation, Maria. Makes me want to be depressed. And I'm a happy guy. Would it be possible for me to buy this song somewhere? Also, I'm trying to chase down your track from your Sunday/Tuesday piece. I searched His myspace link you provided without luck.
MariaNYC 9 months ago

Hey Scott Thanks! Not sure if you can buy the song I had a hard time finding the artist, someone gave it to me a year a go and I fell in love with it. I think it was released with a soundtrack for the movie Saint.
As for Kevin, follow the link to myspace and email him about getting his song. He has been having problems with the player on the site.

Cool! How and what did you use to superimpose if you dont mind me asking!?
MariaNYC 9 months ago

the video is cut in FCP.
eMPe 9 months ago

thats a wow to me! very inspiring and epic. it would be interesting how the footage looked before the colorgrading.
MariaNYC 9 months ago

hey eMPe thanks! the train footage looked washed out ibut the purpose of the polar -like effects was really just to compliment the song...

Nath Milburn 9 months ago

Do you have a link to Superior's website or where I can listen to more of their music? I can't seem to find them.

Also this video is fantastic, I love it.
MariaNYC 9 months ago

Hey Nath thanks. It is a great song unfortunately I do not have much info on the song then what is here. The song is on a soundtrack cd for the movie the saint.
I posted this on youtube and an individual contacted me stating she liked the video & claimed she was the author of the song. I told her some people wanted to purchase the song and emailed her requesting information of where people can get buy the track but she never replied... go figure?
Now I see Amazon has the CD amazon.com/Saint-Music-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B000000WDC/ref=pd_bxgy_m_img_a/178-0331698-5751145
Glenn (avene.org) 9 months ago

I must have missed this one also.. You don't send out the invites anymore? Wow, over 400 likes, that's great! Brilliant video too. I love what you've done with the colours here.. The aqua tones, especially.. Some nice rolling shutter effects in there too :) I guess it pays to be creative with the flaws of the HV30.
MariaNYC 9 months ago

thanks. No invites on this one. Didn't get a chance.
Sometimes having less of a camera is better ;-)

Thanks. I'll try!
Robert Marks 8 months ago

This is fabulous. The song is so strong it feels almost like a music video (a really f-ing good one!) which i hope is a good thing. regardless your imagery is awesome this could have no soundtrack and still be great.
MariaNYC 8 months ago

Hey Robert, thanks for the compliment that is sweet. I see no dolly vids of late ?
Robert Marks 8 months ago

haha. no. been working so much (I stare at a screen doing photoshop all day) that I can't handle more of it at home trying to figure out editing. I've got SCREEN MADNESS! I still end up on it too much scanning negs for my photo stuff. you should check it out....there is like NO PHOTOSHOP anywhere NEAR IT! hahahahahah! link is on my profile page me thinks.
MariaNYC 8 months ago
