    Wow, that was awesome, Paul! Great Job!
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    Thanks Brad.

    good camera work and i enjoyed the video

  • knox plus 8 months ago
    honestly, very beautiful camera work, but you have left me asking, what else is there to these shots.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    Glad you enjoyed the camera work.

    It's a mood I was going for. If you realize that we are moving into spring, the shots and the way they were put together should have conveyed the transition of one season into another. Hence, a requiem. Also, requiem stands for rest, peace...the "shots" should evoke that emotion. I hope they did.

    There was also a personal message in the piece regarding my father, which I don't expect anyone to understand but myself. It's more of a tribute to him.

    Hi David! I understand You very well! I really love Your video!

    very nice. almost made me miss the winter... almost
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    haha....yeh...me too. I was hoping that's what people would get out of this. We're leaving winter behind, but it will still be on our minds. At least, that's the way I feel about winter.

    Paul that was great, love the road footage from behind the wheel as well as the water and snow detail. As the saying goes, 'you got eyes...'

    Very nice video. It gives me hope that winter will soon be gone. And very timely. We just got 8" of snow on Monday.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    Ouch...we got hit with 10 inches here.

    Beautiful. Poignant.
    Couple of nits: the pan of pines early on was a bit fast. You could just slow mow it.
    Hood of car visible for a few frames.
    Loved the music.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    Ah....thanks for the advice. The hood of the car for me was fine. The mood was someone looking out of the window. But, again, I enjoy the critiques and think about this the next time.
  • rickflick 8 months ago
    Gotcha Paul.
    The hood is no biggy, but I do have a question that arises from time to time in things if done and seen. That is, if a shot has a subtle hint of something, you have to decide whether it is useful or a distraction. Sometimes when its very subtle it seems to push the limits of usefulness. A slight blink and it might as well not be there. Just thinkin'.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    I agree with you. I'm not sure about the pines. I think if I were to redo it, I may slow them down. But I see where you're going with your reasoning. Thanks again..I always welcome constructive critique. I'm always trying to learn new ways of approaching and honing my style.

  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    Thanks Robert.

  • Trond Svendsen plus 8 months ago
    Very nice Paul! I also had problems around 2:30, so I downloaded it instead.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    hmmm...strange. I don't seem to have any issues. I've tested it on different connections.
  • Trond Svendsen plus 8 months ago
    For the past few days I've had issues with uploading videos myself. The uploading goes fine, but something happens during the encoding at Vimeo, so I've uploaded (the exact same file) again, and then it works. I've started playing thru the files myself after upload, to verify.
  • Pierre 8 months ago
    2:30 passes well :)
    Nice nature vid Paul!
  • Trond Svendsen plus 8 months ago
    Could it be different versions of Flash? I'm running 10,0,22,87
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    That might be. Have you updated your version?
  • Trond Svendsen plus 8 months ago
    Yes I did, this is the latest version released by Adobe.

    amazing what is the wether doing in our world today. we had a few marvellous snow days in Ireland as well. is't really unusual to have snow in Ireland - "Grean Island". so this is my video answer for you Paul

  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    Loved the video!
  •  
  • christopher boffoli plus 8 months ago
    Paul: Very nicely done. Could you please say a bit about what you were camera you were shooting and what you edited it with? Thanks in advance.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    I was shooting with a Canon HV30 on 30P Cinemode. I use PE4 for editing.

    I don't have all the bells and whistles when it comes to editing software. =(

    Beautiful imagery... nature can have so many faces.

    At my hometown, you can find sunny warm beaches on one pole, and a volcano on the other that usually gets all dressed in snow at this time of the year, but not in 2009.

    Flaming global warming! hehe
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    =D

    Thanks for the positive feedback.

  • Rex Lint plus 8 months ago

  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    I'm shooting on a Canon HV30. 30P.

  • Alexander Gartley 8 months ago
    The song you chose is quite possibly my favorite DCFC song of all time, so I had to watch this video. As one person said, as tired as I am of winter, this video reminded me of some of the beauty we now won't see until next winter. Nice shots.
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    The song reminds me of my father. There were times when I'd prop my feet up on the dash and my father would simply look over and smile at me. This song brings it all back.

  • Keith Rivers plus 8 months ago
    lens did you use? this is really great work man. nice job
  • Paul Davis plus 8 months ago
    I didn't use any adapters. It's the lens that came with the camera. It was just a matter of getting in position for the right depth of field.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it, Keith.
