Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyMom great choice of music and I especially liked the color pallet of the video. I also really like that when you put the camera at their level you get to see the pure joy they are having while playing. Excellent.

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyVery surreal. For me, the MacCleod music almost bordered on horror, but music is in the ear of the beholder. I like where the one young lady was swinging in and out of the focal depth of field. A number of very nice touches, Cheryl. I liked!

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyThanks Sidd & Dave. I was going for surreal, ala Francesco's dream like videos. This was an impromptu park meet up and I wanted to test out some of the GoPro gadgets. I used a clamp on the swings. The baby saw the camera after a little bit so I have some nice video of her hand trying to tear the camera off the clamp.
I used a preset from Magic Bullet, the Tilt shift. It blows the highlights, ups the saturation and blurs the top & bottom. The overlay also has some blur on the edges. The track from Kevin MacLeod is a little horror feel. I didn't use the whole song, but at the ending there is a creepy section. Here is the track: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-fr ... ble&page=1 aka Cheryl

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyGreat video. Music is a bit dark however. Not horror but very somber.

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyExcellent work as always, you are so very talented at this stuff!
I must say I would have approached this project differently. Children are pure joy but I also view them as very high energy, so I would have paced it and selected music to suit. Some sunny and bright music to accompany their smiling faces. The slow paced music you selected does fit with the slo-mo and it is meditative, but the video doesn't have a happy feel and it "should" have a happy feel with those kids in it.

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyVery good point about bouncy and happy with children's videos. A little back story: the past 6 months all I have been shooting is family events, kid's birthday parties, pre-school program, visit with Santa, etc. All of those projects I did not post on Vimeo. Feeling a little burnout on the normal stuff is why I went the opposite and created an art piece. What I was thinking is that as an adult our minds are cluttered with so many things and this is a reminder to slow down and just enjoy. The somberness is that the adult has lost the pure joy that can only be experienced as a child. There are other joys in life, but I am referring to the childhood joy of living in the moment.
I have an accounting background and do get bogged down with too many details of things. Overthinker/planner. Would be nice to be a kid again. I have a Commencement shoot this weekend and again another cut and dry project. The artsy stuff is the icing of editing for me. Ron, I appreciate your thoughts. Hopefully, the back-story fills things in. Thanks! aka Cheryl

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure JoyAhh! That reminds me of the old joke

Re: A little slo-mo of Pure Joy
Accountants would not make it battle. They would be too caught up in taking inventory and triple checking the roster. FYI, I was an auditor with a CPA firm. Billed as a "junior". Interesting to be on the opposite end of an audit. We went to one place where their files were a mess. The contents of the folders were thrown in. As I looked at each folder, I tidied it up and made sure the top left corners of the contents were matching. My boss said we will be here a year if I kept that up (jokingly). aka Cheryl
