First bit of Portland Video (starting at my last day). I'm experimenting with narration. Musing on the myth of eternal return. Music here is Moss Garden by Bowie and Eno, from Heroes.

Alex Itin 6 months ago

ouroboros?
what's it mean?
something about a mule?
ishan 6 months ago

more about a snake
and generations...
regeneration...
and such.
Alex Itin 6 months ago

oh right the snake eating it's tail, or tale.... I keep forgetting the obvious.

I hadn't heard that word in a while (and usually it's someone commenting on jewelry). Thanks for reminding me.

Alex, this is beautiful!

Very effective indeed.
Second the comments above too.
Perfect choice of music.
Alex Itin 6 months ago

couldn't resist using that music.
Remyyy 6 months ago

I'm loving it. I'll have to watch it again because this time I let your voice come to my ears without trying to understand what you were saying, voice, part of the music.
Alex Itin 6 months ago

good I was trying to sort of sing the words and then let the echoing smudge it all together. Not sure if the effect is "overused".
Remyyy 6 months ago

That's maybe the only very small thing I could say. For me, the echo is a bit too much, meaning, we hear the same sentence too much time but as I said, that's really small and that's really me.

Loving the Portland! I miss that place like crazy. Amazing job. I'm a big fan of that beautiful, green, Oregon moss.

'You have a LOT of videos! I'm going to have to check them out when it's not 6am here though.

Your video is beautiful, like a sweet dream. Thanks for the trip !

An inspired use of Bowie's moss garden. I wish the video looked more like the blur you see near the beginning. I know that must have been a small part of the footage you shot but that worked very well. My favorite show is at 2:10.
Alex Itin 5 months ago

Yeah I dig that opening shot too. I was trying to get the macro to work, but it wouldn't stay in focus. I thought it would end in the trash, but of course the mistake is the take.

2:10 works too... probably my second favorite shot.

what a wonderfull atmosphere!!!!
Dr Adventure 5 months ago

Dad would be proud - a part of me wanted to see shots of the "swamp" - but perhaps that would have been too cliche.
Alex Itin 5 months ago

course now it is a swamp again. I tried to get back there by way of West Lane during Christmas, but the river ran too high.

nice narrative experiment
MariaNYC 1 month ago

i think it's true that "beautiful things always come back to you" this is such an awesome story accompanied by stunning shots and perfect ethereal music (one of my fav Bowie album) the shot on 4:22 is especially splendid (actually even that bamboo shot following it and how it dissolves was just so perfect)
Alex Itin 1 month ago

I like that one too... one of my three faves from that day.
