I'm on dial up tonight, so I'll have to check it out in the morning. Looking forward to it, though.

Yeah, you guys had the Denver airport closed down didn't you?

Very beautiful images, I also think your approach to cutting the project together was excellent as well. I look forward to having some snow here in Utica, today it was 41 here in Upstate New York. I sure wish we had some snow up here so I could try and get some snow footage of this area. SurJones could you give some information about what some of setting were to get some of this footage? What were the settings you were using with the snow footage falling on the tree branches? Also would you tell what the setting were for the overall color and detail levels?
 
[SIZE=+0]Top footage SurJones. I really like the opening sunrise timelapse and with the plane trails being nice and smooth, great timing choice. [/SIZE]
 
I love white snow and slo-mo. It goes togethor like PB&J. Too bad I am in south Alabama. Grrr.

It was real nice man. Nice flow, all in all. There were just like two cuts right after each other a little before the :30 mark (around in there) that seemed real quick. Like I was just seeing processing it and it was gone to the next cut. Seemed a little out of place from the rest of your piece. But otherwise, as I said, I thought it was a nice piece to watch. Relaxing.

Later,

thanks so much everyone, and I hope it got you in the mood for Christmas. Now 2days away.

Jason: I am sure that the 30 second fast cuts area Is the music section where it follows the beat.
 
It could have been. I couldn't always hear the audio. That's not your fault, though. I was listening to it through the cue speakers on the board here at work with other x-mas music drowning it out somewhat.

Later,

That was some awesome footage. It loaded really quick too! Nothing but rain here in PA too. Wish I was there. Thanks for taking the time!
 
Haha again thanks for the comments, It does now seem that Colo is the only state getting snow :) not true, but New York and Penn-Sly, no snow. crazy.
 
Thanks for the great responce. I know the BenB would understand my watermarkage :)

I have gotten quite a bit of PM asking for settings, most of you did not specify which video you wanted the settings for, so I will post settings for each video.

I enjoyed your footage. I have a new HVX. Can you tell me what format you shot the footage? Video or Film.
Also your settings and what format you rendered in.

Thanks

I shot MAINLY at 720p/24pn 60fps - Edited in a 24p timeline and either upped the 60fps footage up to normal 2.5x (250%) So it looked normal speed, (Only where snow or action would look cool slowed down) That way I could keyframe/ramp my footage to slow down. I also did reverses the same way, but I dont think people noticed the reverses, it is my calling card. :)

Also for the catching the snow falling from trees. I am guilty, I set up the camera and tapped the tree very lightly.

TimeLapses were 2fps 350d Frame Rate Hack :)

BlueGray. I dont know what they check happened on my shutter to give me such Jutter. I was on the Side of the freeway, In the middle of Colorado, and had a Highway Patrol watching over my choulder. He was intrigued at my filming. He loved it, awkward for me. But I set I am sure 1080/30p @ video 1/250th. I am pretty sure, cant remember. maybe 1/60th, BUT I DOUBT IT. It was bright outside, and would have been to much light, unless I used an 1/8 ND.. hmmmmm good question.

The last scene of the the contrsuction I threw in beacuse some dude was like Take a picture of me doing some action stuff. And I was iike ya, I am filming 60fps, so action is good. He wwanted to see the footage so I edited it in. His action was screwing in a screw... yippie!!!!

The music, I honestly cant remember, I have my folder with it in it somewhere on a stack of 10DVD's worth of footage. I shot like 10 4gig P2 worth of footage.

In whole I did so many differnt settings, it would not be worth it to post. Each shot even EVERY snow Show took me like 5mins to set up. It was not a Run and Gun, which was nice. Got to play around. I did not do any color correcting, so what you see is what I shot.

Thanks again for all the great comments, and suggestions.
 
Had to dig up the old thread. Missing the 'Blizzrd of '06' already. Good times. Great footage by the way. Wait - you knew that already.
