the landscape at :30 looks so weird and flat and cool.

It does ... it looks like cardboard ... like one of her animations she might do in After Effects.

What are you guys talking about? that is paper. I live in a giant diorama of shaky footage.

Love the first audio transition, very effective in drawing me in closer. Is it a single track or are you mixing?
Karen Abad 2 years ago

The song is snookered by Dan Deacon. <3 That's how it sounds itself, he's a genius.
Andy Mellon 2 years ago

I love the quality of this! This video is persuading me to go buy a Kodak zi6! Pretty Pictures!
Karen Abad 2 years ago

I'm too poor to afford anything else, so I can handle the auto functions, I'll just fix them in post. :-) <3

Chris Kennedy 2 years ago

I was amazed by the quality of this camera especially for the price. When took the camera through the grass, I felt like I was in a movie. Good Job!
Karen Abad 2 years ago

You'd be surprised what your creative eye and color correction with appropriate audio and editing will do. A camera is a camera, it's about how good you utilize it. :-) Oddly enough, all the footage I had seen come out of this camera, before I bought it, looked really awful, but I needed this for a study I am doing, so I bought it. Thanks a lot Chris
Rick Macomber 2 years ago

you make that thing sing! What was the music track on this Karen?
Karen Abad 2 years ago

snookered by Dan Deacon.

You need to sharpen the blade on your lawnmower it's tearing the grass blades instead of cutting them.

Iceland. haha just kidding, hmmm this was on the way to the island that is about 15 minutes from my house, just another day in this tiny town amidst the wetlands.
Chad Vickery 2 years ago

you did it! just don't take it indoors.
Karen Abad 2 years ago

You. Me. Twins. Oh man...I'm finding that if I even want to think about using it indoors I need to light. What it is Autofunctions. I need to be making more videos for you, this is a good incentive to. Expect some!
Sascha Conrad 2 years ago

really great. i love the music.
Karen Abad 2 years ago

Thanks Sascha :-) Dan Deacon is <3
MC BuggZ 2 years ago

Rich, vibrant color. Hopeful, mellow tune.
I'm beginning to wonder. If I should get one, too.

Nice vid.
Karen Abad 2 years ago

Unfortunately I'd have to credit the vibrant colors to my post production color correction and not the actual camera.

They are relatively drab. But yeah it's a powerful tool. :-) Thanks
Florence Artur 2 years ago

Very cool! I love the beginning with the raindrops on the car window. I could watch them chasing each other for hours in my Dad's car when I was little :-)
Karen Abad 2 years ago

Haha i still chance them with my finger. Sometimes we race. :-)
Maria Bowskill 2 years ago

That was cool I really like dthe grass scenes
Karen Abad 2 years ago

Thanks a lot Maria :-)
cabis 2 years ago

did you use any movie softs? because it looks unreally good!
Karen Abad 2 years ago

I spent a lot of time color correcting it. :-) The camera can only do so much, especially since it costs $160 or so...it's up to you to fix it in post..haha.
Sebastiaan Knoops 2 years ago

like the road scenes -- added it to The Road channel!
Karen Abad 2 years ago

Aww thanks a lot Sebastiaan. :-) I love driving.

I'm getting it. been looking for a cam like this.
Karen Abad 2 years ago

It's pretty cool for the price. I unfortunately can't afford anything better because of paying for school, so this little critter will do well for something that I'm working on.

Karen Abad 2 years ago

Hee hee well, welcome Jakub, I hope you find things that you'll enjoy and get to connect with some of the awesome community members. I was a little bothered by how shaky this video was, but when I did Smoothcam and FCP told me it would take 12 hours to render, I decided, I didn't care. Haha.

Counterbugs 2 years ago

Very nicely done. I fucking love dinosaurs as well. Long necks have always been my favorite.
Karen Abad 2 years ago

Long necks are gentle, they won't hurt. Dinosaurs are love and a half...if you let them be.

You have a point.

He sits there, no name yet, maybe he'll get a mustache soon and some eyes. He keeps quiet but knows when to be loud.

Jim Goodin 2 years ago

Karen that's wonderful, after the rain just on the back round isn't that hwy 1 north of SF somewhere? Wonderful with the looking in the mirror. On a recent trip to CA for a tour we drove from LA to SF, it was after a rain and I shot a bunch of stills out the car window, I've left these alone thinking of a future piece which your's has inspired me to do I think... beautiful work.
Karen Abad 2 years ago

This is actually a couple minutes from my house by some wetlands. It's located midway between San Francisco and Sacramento along the Capitol Corridor. Let me know if you end up putting your stills together, that would be lovely to watch. Thanks for stopping by Jim!
Michele Berry 2 years ago

how did you go through the grass so smoothly?
Karen Abad 2 years ago

I kneel on the grass and I use my hand to swoop around the grass fully extended. Or I walk really slowly.
Oh yeah, I hold the camera upside down. ;-)
Rick Macomber 2 years ago

I thought you had rigged the cam up on a stick or something so you could walk. Were you crouched over the entire time?
Karen Abad 2 years ago

I lay on the grass and i start it really close to my body and push it out or carry it/hover over the grass with my hand :-)

High Quality flick with low quality technology ..... brilliant !
