Spring is knocking on the door..

I went to the local Sainsbury this afternoon on my bike and took the Leica D-Lux 4 with me. I passed through Selly Oak Park thinking I would take a few photographs on my way.

It was overcast and I found out that the real spring colours are still not here yet. So I switched the camera to the movie mood and took a few shots of the place.

As for the editing, I am using Final Cut Express for the first time. I'm used to Final Cut Pro, but I no longer have it on my computer. It was fine, it did the job with no problem at all. I want to try it with real video though.

    Salaam Moayad :)

    Sorry for your lost FCP! Wondering what caused your computer to lose it?


    I like how you move the camera, but why didn't you let all dark shots together for the end instead of starting with dark shots then to bright then back to dark again! Why i say this because i got confused with the feeling of time sequencing! The time lapse scene is so great.

    I so agree with you in reversing the shot "00:36" ;)

    I love the music you choose for your videos, i believe we have the same taste :)

    FCP? Don't ask :p


    I agree with you about the opening dark shot, I should not have included it altogether... but I liked it too much :D

    So you noticed the reversed shot? ... or should I say 'one' of the reversed shots ;)

    With the music I don't believe it's a matter of taste as much as it is finding the music which suits the mood of the film. I mean I don't usually listen to solo piano during my everyday life but still I used it here.

    Well, piano is my favorite musical instrument. Actually before i used to play piano! and don't ask why i stopped :(

    I still think that your taste of music is what made you choose this precisely piece of solo piano rather than other one, while there are many others which can give you the same mood that suits the movie, but you chose this one because it goes with your taste.. my point of view :)

    I am still not in the mood for making videos!

    If you mean taste is what made me chose this piece of music for this particular video then yes, you are right. But it happened before that I chose music for other videos which although fitted it perfectly I would never put on my iPod :)


    I shouldn't be making videos these days! :p
