Part Two: vimeo.com/4305102

A community gathering together to welcome spring.
Music by Brian Eno and J. Ralph

I'm currently trying to find funding for a new project about seeing the world through the eyes of an autistic 9-year-old girl as she watches her family rip apart because of her disability. It's a very hard-hitting topic for me and a lot of other people, and I hope to present it with a decent budget. We are planning to shoot this Thanksgiving season, and anything would help! My paypal account is writingmatthew@hotmail.com If you can loan equipment, locations, props, etc, that would be much appreciated, too! Thank you!

Great work! 3 ? 4 ya=)
What camera, camera stabilizer and video software did/do you use?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Hey Paul, thank you! It was shot with the HV30 and edited with Sony Vegas. There isn't a stabilizer. Just moving my body around like I'm doing tai chi, haha.
Paul Wong 7 months ago

thx =)
Hfour 7 months ago

I do the same thing! I move the camera with my body and legs instead of with my arms when I'm shooting freehand!
Eric Buist 7 months ago

wow. that was very well done.
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, Eric!
Eric Johnson 7 months ago

Wow, I love the motion. That's impressive for doing it all hand-held. I have an HF100 and i use sony vegas and I can never get it that smooth.
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thanks, Eric! I was hanging out of a car window for some of the shots, though, haha.
Allister Reynolds 7 months ago

Amazing! All those colours! Well done and Brian Eno is the shiznat.
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Haha, I actually have never heard of Brian Eno until I came across that awesome song. The second song I fell in love with when I heard it in the trailer for Doubt. Thanks for checking the video out man!
Gerald P Cox 7 months ago

very nice editing matthew. great cuts to the beats and i loved the change in tempo and mood. i have just changed from pinnacle to vegas. steep learing curve!
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you Gerald! I've never used Pinnacle. How was it? I hope you're enjoying Vegas.
Gerald P Cox 7 months ago

matthew, pinnacle is very easy to use but on loading it to my new computer found that after having had it for 2 years none of the add ons i have purchased work [aparently that's the deal with pinnacle] was going to upgrade to pinnacle studion 12 plus but having read some recdent user comments was hesitant] am percevearing with vegas which i am coming to really apreciate, but i am having to learn its not so easy functionality. and i am anjoying the learning because of the results i can see.
Aidan Walker 7 months ago

My my what do I think about it. Well I think that this video was amazing I loved the colours and the work and editing that you did. It is truly amazing. Exactly like my dads camera work. Well done Matt

It's amazing that all has been shooted with a simple HV30! I mean: I have one too but your skill is on another level!! Great video!

Very nice colours. Really like the movement of the camera.
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thanks man.
olaf h. ☞ nadu 7 months ago

very nice shots and cutting, some scenes are like a pink dream, i luv these! nice "reverse (gear)" edit... =)
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

I wish I dreamed like this! I've never been to a place where a bunch of cherry blossoms were blooming, and it was very magical. Plus, I got to see my community coming together which was the best part.
Liam Duffy 7 months ago

Amazing colours and very nicely shot, good choice of music too.
Mario Jakob 7 months ago

Wow!

thnx for sharing :)
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

It's the University of Washington campus. Thanks for the comment!
Walter Fischer 7 months ago

Just for movies like this, I come back to VIMEO from time to time. Not for crazy and nervous compositions.
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

I'm glad that my video is one of those ones that makes you come back!
Frederic Vercammen 7 months ago

Nice editing matthew
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, Frederic!
Michael Dunbar 7 months ago

Really beautiful video. The loveliness of Spring really comes out well. It wasn't clear to me why you had the footage play backwards most of the time. Can you explain?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

It makes me feel like I rewound time a bit in order to have these memories end at the beginning...so it's kind of like that haven't happened yet. It's just so I feel like it's not over, haha. I love constant change, but certain videos I have play backwards when I had a great time shooting them. I did the same thing with my New York video. I loved it so much that I rewound the footage to the beginning in a gesture that I might get to experience it again. I hope this makes sense, haha. It's hard for me to explain. Thank you for the nice comment!
Michael Dunbar 7 months ago

Very interesting point. Thanks for informing me. :)
Mitchell LeBlanc 7 months ago

Great video Matthew, hopefully one day I can post process like that!
Mitchell LeBlanc 7 months ago

Oh, and were you using any lens adapters?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, Mitchell! It's just the naked camera. I had the camera almost always zoomed in a bit with manual focus on to get the shallow depth of field.
arturo marin 7 months ago

Congratulations Matthew excellent angles and and the sense of nature to enjoy the music, I would like to know how convenser in yoga class
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you for the comment! I don't know what you mean by convenser, though.

Bliss7 7 months ago

Extraordinary colors and scenes you've captured! I loved that you even put in the artist painting in the park, the ducks, the various flowers, the egg hunt, people going backwards..the volkswagon. Totally kept me watching. My sister is on Bainbridge Island.. I'll have to send her the link to see this, though not sure where exactly you filmed.. Kudos!
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

It was mostly shot at the University of Washington campus in Seattle. Thanks for checking it out!
Bliss7 7 months ago

Thanks.. I'll resend it and let my sister know where you filmed. She'll love those trees!! Just gorgeous.. lucky you! They take the ferry back and forth to Seattle all the time and my bro-in-law works at Microsoft so commutes every day.. Love your vid!!

jamie pippin 7 months ago

amazing stuff. that seems like such a great camera.
did you do any color correcting?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

The camera is pretty average. There's a lot going on in post, haha. Thanks for the compliment!
Philip Bloom 7 months ago

Really good Matthew, shows what you can with a simple camera like the HV30 in the right hands. Great edit. I was going to do a backwards film shortly, damnit!
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Haha, thanks so much, Philip. I hope the title of my video didn't throw you off, haha. I actually did a backwards video last Christmas time when I went to New York for the first time. I have a huge fascination with the reverse. Thank you for the comment! I really appreciate it man!
Philip Bloom 7 months ago

Really great colour work by the way!

johnnysea 7 months ago

Very nice job, man! Just wondering, did you slow down the speed of these shots in post or is everything the way you shot it?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

The slow motion is in post.
Dave Deacon 7 months ago

Lovely sense of Spring and movement.
NozL 7 months ago

Great work Matthew. I enjoyed that :-)
dannycut 7 months ago

fantastic video!
LupusF15 7 months ago

great video...on the slow motion shots, how much did you slow it down?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, Jon. I'm not sure how much I slowed it down. Just enough not to ghost it. There isn't a number amount on my "slow down function". I just tested a few speeds to see which ones wouldn't ghost.
John Mallory 7 months ago

great video...was there color correction done or a specific lens?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

There was definitely color correction. I wish I had a lens adapter, but unfortunately don't. Thanks, John!
Alejandro Riano 7 months ago

Very nice Matew!!! 2 Question? What extension use to correct the color and where or who is the nice music?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, Alejandro! I'm not sure what you mean by extension, and the names of the musicians who did the music are in the description.

Thank you, Satish!
Bryan Calvetti 7 months ago

very very nice, my sony HVR V1u can get similar quality but around what f stop do you keep your camera?
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, man. I think for this video it was just at 2.8
I wish I had it at a higher setting because I feel like things were a little too light for my taste, haha, but I guess it went along with the spring feel to leave it at 2.8
Kathy Ashe 7 months ago

That was beautiful and so well done. I loved the backward effect. And the setting was outstanding. Job well done!
Matthew Brown 7 months ago

Thank you, Kathy!
