Christmas decorations video

[Ron Hunter]

My wife puts a lot of work into placing Christmas decorations around our home, and I wanted to create a video that captures all of her effort (before we take the decorations down).

Video shot with my GH4 in 4k, 24fps, 100Mbps. Edited in 1080p timeline in FCPX.

Let me know what you think of it:

Great job, Ron! I love how you mixed movement with close-ups and wide shots -- and the music is perfect! A great testimony to her - and your - work!

Excellent. Nice touch for the ending.

Ron another really good video. I especially like the tree with the lights on the colors looked really cool. Good job. Keeps me in the Christmas spirit

Excellent! I especially liked the panning shots of the figurines, and I liked the vertical pans of the Christmas trees that dissolved from room light to lighted trees. But my favorite was the horizontal pan that began at 01:53 and ended at 01:58. This put me back in the Christmas mood!

I have enjoyed a lot your storytelling, Ron, you have narrated with images as in a gallery, a mosaic.
Great framing and close-ups.
Did you make pan around the tree free hand or did you use some tools.
it is very precise and steady !
All of the subjects are finely portrayed, which is often hard for me.

Happy creative new year!

Love the magical feeling created by your choice of music and mix of edits, wonderful Christmas and peaceful feeling throughout.

Liked the transition of the tree from unlit to lit 1:26. Very nice panning shots or where they slider shots? Smooth either way. Hats off to your wife and Christmas decorating!

[Ron Hunter]

Thanks everyone! I used a slider for the panning shots.
