Chasing Sunflowers

I got a chance to visit one of the community gardens. A nice sunny day and a chance to experiment with some 360 keyframing techniques. There was a lot of different produce but I also noticed a lot of folks planted sunflowers too.

Loved the close-ups with the bees. The color was incredible. You sure do get around fast
That jet was pretty low. Must have been taking off or landing nearby.

That was a fun video with nice camera moves and editing.
The music was a terrific choice.

Once again, Sidd, your fish-eye lens, playful camera work and editing and cheerful music has created something that is truly delightful!

Thank you for sharing it!

This was really good Sidd. Great video shots, eye pleasing transitions and wonderful music. I think our big sunflower fields are ready towards the end of August. Would love to fly the drone over it, but they are not allowed in that park.

Thank you for the kind words all.

I am really happy with the color that camera produces. No color correction or grading done for this video. The garden is located in the airports landing area. It was a residential area that was removed for the airport. Recently it has been repurposed for a community garden.

This 360 camera continues to fascinate me. The keyframing aspect allows some interesting ability to reframe the shots so you don't miss a thing. It made it easy to record the bees gathering nectar. I used it to do most of the panning and speed ups of the video.

Music is always a search for me but I stumbled across some old "Seeburg" music from the 50's and 60's that was the forerunner to Muzak. It was played in grocery and department stores.

Off to the next video adventure....

Wow love it Sidd! Love the fancy footwork and camera movements. The plane at the end was a surprise.

Thanks Mom as soon as you get immersed into looking at all the plants the plane flies by to remind you your in silicon valley.... lol
