A cinamatically beautiful film that is refreshingly unassuming, natural and honest in it's simplicity. Probably much like the person who made it.
Bravo !!!

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
Hmm, this is only the second time I've seen your work (new to the forum) and this is also a wonderful piece of craft. Very pleasing!
Gosh I hope your luck is whole lot better than mine. I would have caught a face full of goose goo at least twice on that shoot. But it looks like you guys are good friends so its probably more than luck, eh?.
I'm in full agreement with CMessineo on the background. I resize the window over my black desktop and it works better.
I watched the clip twice. The first time through I left the sound off (my usual) and could not understand the scene transitions before sunrise - few disolves - verses later on. But with the sound on for the second run it made more sense. Even though, I would like more to have seen at least quick disolves rather than the hard cuts that go along with the piano tempo. I almost had the feeling that the edit was to get the video to match the music in the early scenes. I suppose I may not have noticed if I'd had the sound on in the first place.
Just curious - do you do these all on your own, or does someone help in post or at least carry your duck call?
Awsome work!
Please keep'em coming!

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
All of my work is totally solo.
The hard cuts were chosen intentionally because all of these happened in real time, one after the other. When the dissolves were used, the implication (and actual shots) was that there was time passing between the shots and the day was waking up gradually.
Thanks for the kudos...

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit

Might I ask what you used for your shots that glide upward or downward..like some of the shots you used in Waters Edge?
Btw what lake is that?

Ok...I haven't seen this last edit...but I'm downlaoding at the moment...and if the other clip is anything to go by, this will be incredible! Congrats! seriously, "At the Water's edge" is probably the/one of the best examples I've seen of the really good "put this cam to good use"...Now...do you offer training??
Thank you so much for this showcase: I've been telling people all about it! (hope you don't mind...)

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
if your shooting squeeze, you can just turn on letterbox cropping, and see where the black bars are.. then just put some non residue leaving /semi transparent tape over the lcd where the bars are.. then swith letterbox cropping off. now the 2.35:1 aspect will be whatever is in the center, and not under the tape. ..in post you will crop to the center that you can see, but it wil leave you room to shift it up or down for framing error. you could of course just leave letterbox on, and WYSIWYG for 16:9 cropped to 2.35:1.
again, use semi-transparent tape so you can still see the info readout under the tape easily..
I personally shoot in letterbox 4:3, and just imagine that the bars cut into the picture a little more so theres a little lesss room on top and bottom .. then just crop it down in post.. its pretty easy really.

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
I got to see the movie . . . what can I say, . . . it is so great to see such lovley work. I see the DVX is producing alot of peace in you
I would love to see a production still of you in your camouflage (I imagine!) outfit creeping up behind ducks in a pond to get as close as possible ;D. I noticed (in earlier movies of yours) that you crane quite a bit . . . what are you using. ALso the shooting into the sun looked tricky . . . what was infront of your lens? Kudos man Kudos!

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
Thanks for the compliments. I used the Cobra Crane II, discussed in the Water's Edge post: http://www.dvxuser.com/cgi-bin/DVX2/YaBB.pl?board=Clips;action=display;num=1087699633. Also, if you read back on the responses of this post, I discuss shooting into the sun.
Oh yeah, and here's a picture of me with some of my talent...no camouflage, I'm afraid

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
This was an inspiration and I learned much for my own work. It was pretty sentimental and I usually run from sentimentality but it worked well and is truely allegorical. Nice work. I've been going through the Screen Grabs thread for the first time so sorry for the late response.

Re: Marymoor Park - Final Edit
Hey, great work! You should work for National Geographic. Did you shoot the flocks in 30,60i and then slow it down or was it all f6? Yeah, probably the best nature footage I've seen from in a long time from the DVX.
