Summer rain sets its own atmosphere I always find. A soft melancholy that is so gentle. So I set some to music with lyrics from one of my songs.

No Lens adapter yet, just opened up the aperture, stood back and zoomed in. Fully manual setting, Ap. 1.9, no gain, Shutter 1/120. 10x zoom WB Fine, Macro zoom, 1440CBR.

Filmed with the JVC GZ HD7, edited in FCP 6.04, grading in Magic Bullet Looks.

Music by Ketil Bjørnstad from the Rainbow Sessions.

    Calming...
    What do you use for your text Avey? Live Type?
  •  
  • Wayne Avanson plus 1 year ago
    Hi rast, no I just use the type slugs within FCP at the moment. To be honest, I've never even booted up the LiveType prog. Must have a look at it sometime, I'm sure it would make things easier.

    Wow... so beautiful and you managed to get some very shallow DoF the 'old school' way :)

    Music was great too. Am a jazz man myself with an electronic preference (at the moment).

    I'll have to copy your style. This is very good... :)

    Thanks Pixel V. Feel free to copy my style, I'm only copying other people here anyway. All part of the learning process I guess. That's why I started the 'Doing a Dempsey' piece. Just to see if I could do it!

    Found it from Eugenias Blog. That was genuinely really nice. Very calming and just nice to watch.
  • Wayne Avanson plus 1 year ago
    Thanks again Alastair! Going to do more of this stuff over the summer, nature I mean, not just rain.

    Very nice indeed; soft, gentle, beautifully shot, and great lyrics. Nice DOF, too.
  • Wayne Avanson plus 1 year ago
    Cheers for that Greg. Little bolts of inspiration here and there and we get stuck in and learn more…

    Beautiful as usual. And I want to hear the song that these lyrics are from. You paint such emotion with your words. A true poet.
  • Wayne Avanson plus 11 months ago
    Hey Thanks Colleen. I have an old version of this song from years ago which is well past its sell by date, and a newer version with a mate of mine singing it but that's actually turned out a bit rubbish.

    I have fancied doing a simple acoustic version sometime, which is how I play it now. Maybe, maybe…

    Or perhaps you would like to take it and make it into something lovely as Sadie Says…? Help yourself!

    Again I have to say, very round, poetic, balanced. The music is fatastic. Simple but simply amazing.
