Been working on a small challenge project from IndieTalk forums. Click the link to find out more:
Weekly video challenges @ IndieTalk.
So far I've shot the video and started editing it, now to find some fitting music and sound effects. Here's some screen shots to tease everyone a little.

Just a few words to say hi. Been working on changing my NLE so that file transfers and quality will improve. Thinking of going to Adobe but would still really like to switch everything over to Mac and use Final Cut Pro as well as Mac's audio workflow as well. Been out taking more pictures of course, and being asked to do some group shots as well as individual projects. Hopefully lots of lighting, camera, and interaction practice for the future. Check out my new pictures at flickr and please post any requests for subject material...

New content should be available on my Youtube channel, ICBAPictures, by the end of the night. A small introduction and finally some video. More birds set to music, and it was really foggy so the quality isn't that good. Definitely room for improvement but getting lots of practice with file formats and editing issues.
   Please stick with me as I learn more about the art of film making, and stay tuned for a new project in the works. A docu/cational series about managing lift after suffering brain injury. Very excited to begin that project. Till next time, peace out.

   Another great video available on my Youtube channel, this time it's photo's of a selection of birds from the area that frequent our backyard. I've tried to add more depth to this video incorporating some sound design to help viewers enjoy it more. Please leave a comment if you liked it, thanks. Enjoy...

Birds of the Adirondacks.

   Welcome to 2013 everyone!!! A new video for you to enjoy; Sunset to Moonrise 2012, a relaxed journey.      
   It's a small sample of the many sunset photo's I took from 2012 followed by photo's,a time lapse, and some video of the moon moving across the sky. Check out the link for the video and look for a new one with some of the birds I captured with the camera in 2012 coming soon.

Sunset to Moonrise 2012, a relaxed journey.

 

   I went to a jam session recently and filmed the guys doing their practice runs on some new songs, and some they already know. I used it to practice where and how to set up cameras, audio recording equipment, and shot placement. I used 2 cameras, a Canon T4i and a Canon sx50hs, both great cameras worth considering for anyone interested in photography or videography. The footage was stored in my laptop and I got a chance to only edit one song so far, about 6-7 hours of work as I had to teach myself how to operate, sync, and align with the editing software and then file transfers, etc. I also learned alot about where to put the cameras and audio equipment next time. Also good to note that recording live action is way different than scripted acting. Saying "cut" and "take 2" would have been great for me to get better, more in depth, camera angles and lighting. The  video I ended up with was a result of working out the best I could get with the decisions I made that night. Here's the link, but it is unlisted on Youtube for the sake of the bands pride, so I'm not sharing their practice session since they were starting off cold on several of the songs. But I am very thankful for them letting me record the whole night...

   More songs are waiting for me to edit, and boy is it alot of work. It is great training to learn the Lightworks NLE (non-linear editing) software though. I'm hoping to do a couple real music videos with the band at a future date to feature their talents, something as a token of appreciation, a momento for them to have to display the bands accomplishments.
   So long 'till next week, and stay tuned. Working on more fun projects to share with y'all.

   Just a quick note as I've been busy lately with some side projects (and life in general). I have a new time lapse and am working on some music videos. here's the recent timelapse and a link to some of my photo's as well.
