I put together this video from shots I took while up a my fathers house on the White River in Ark. at Christmas.
They normaly dont have snow for Christmas and fog is normal in the a.m. but the combination made the fog especially heavy that day.
I am pretty much a novice behind the camera, and this is actually the first nature type shots Ive ever taken. I was inspired by vid's by GMElliot,Grazie and others that have posted beautiful shots here as well on Chienworks site.
I wanted to put together a short (this one) and a long(including more shots and shots of his house) video for him as a gift.
So I'd like some input on how to make this better. Before you comment , realize I am aware of the camera shake in some of the shots. I was using my TRV-38 (little Sony) and it has not much mass. I wanted to try and do some rack focus shots and time lapse shots. Unfortunatly, I had to use the cheesy focus ring on the lens and it set on maximum zoom to get the shallow depth of field. Even with a tripod it still shook.! :( .
But those are the shots I got,and I didnt realize it until I got home to Fl. and saw them on the monitor.
The shaking issue would be easy to solve........With an FX-1!
Santa must of dropped mine off the sleigh.
Oh Well, Fire Away!!!
Thanks,
Eric
P.S. you may want to save it to a file to get the smoothest playback.
