The story behind how this video came to be is at least as significant as the video itself.
Yesterday I noticed my camera's memory chip was filling up, so I sat down to process and unload/upload some video files.
I'd shot these stills and video clips in the glen at the back of our yard where two creeks meet.
I didn't sit down with the goal of doing anything special, just wanted to play around a bit.
I think its precisely because I had no goals or ambitions beyond the moment that it came together as it did.
I'd've posted it yesterday, but one speed bump I encountered was the first track I'd set the images to wasn't licensed for reuse, only listening and downloading. I found a similar but more loosely licensed track by same composer, did some minor adjustments, and came up with this.
So... yeh obviously my pain levels were down enough to let me do this, and that's significant. Even more so is how effortlessly this came together. I approached making this video with the same "follow the dao, go with the flow" approach I take with photography. Most of the effects and transitions I didn't even give much thought to.
Today a bit more pain and fog... naja, its raining buckets, anyone with any arthritis is having a rough time.
For the details on the music, see my write up on youtube.
