to me, experiencing winter in the mountains is like breathing for the first time. though i don’t remember my first breath, per se, i can imagine how bittersweet it must have been.
last week, i had the privilege to travel back up to telluride, colorado, with a great friend.
more to come… but for now, enjoy the scenery!
i shot a new film recently. and though i am still learning adobe after effects and final cut pro, i can’t help but edit and put these things together to share with all of you. so i am still just using elementary software, and i feel very limited by it. but i hope everyone enjoys none-the-less.
white rock lake is a small, man-made slough in the heart of the dallas metroplex. it is to dallas, what central park is to new york… though not quite as pretty. but maybe just as dangerous after dark.
white rock is home to many thousands of migratory birds, and during winter, giant flocks of egrets and pelicans call this area home.
for best results, watch the film in “hd”…
** so, i also have much to learn in regard to compression and video output. as a consequence, the film can be choppy at times. please forgive me, and as soon as i figure out how to fix it, i will. thanks so much for visiting…
i bought a new camera the other day. it was a very exciting day, because along with shooting stills, it can capture 1080 hd video.
since i was little, i have wanted to make nature documentaries, and more recently, i’ve been interested in feature film as well.
so, a few days ago, as i started this post, dallas had a rare cold snap, and we were given a decent amount of snowfall. it is a very welcomed sight here.
a short film was the result of some test video that i shot on our brief snow day. it’s the first of (hopefully) many short nature films to come. who knows… i’ve got a few ideas for longer fiction pieces as well… (i’ve already got the filmmaker’s ego – notice the gratuitous use of my name in opening and closing credits)
for optimal viewing, be sure to click “hd” in the upper right-hand corner.
