Winter can be so still and quiet! Had some time to kill the other day so I shot this video, what struck me most was the stillness of the afternoon. I went back to Pt. AuRoche State Park in Upstate New York to shoot this. Same location as my Winter Solstice piece, but the same place can sure look different depending on the light.

I also finally got Magic Bullet Looks. Used it to add the vignette and to color correct these shots. Used it even more toward the end to add the soft warm glow to the footage. It's a powerful tool but I see it overused alot. I'll try not to do that even though it is quite fun to play around with the look of your footage. To me it's all about enhancing the mood you are trying to convey.

Music is by Bill Douglas "Earth Prayer" from Hearts of Space records.

Stay warm! Spring is coming....so they say!

You can really feel yourself being there. All your work is amazing. You really put your heart and soul into each one.

Hi Paul

Great work. You are the best. I used your movies to study. Why do you stopped to offer the links for download? Thanks.
Paul Frederick    February 03, 2010 08:47 AM

Thanks Renato, glad you like the videos. I stopped downloads for several reasons, 1) Some of my images were being used in other unauthorized videos. 2) I sell all these shots used in these videos as stock video, the downloads are so good here, people could just download and use the clips unauthorized without paying for them.

Hope you understand, not everyone lives an honest life out there!

Paul
