Part of the nature project:
vimeo.com/forums/topic:1214

The second part of my own two part country walks project.

First part can be seen here:
vimeo.com/clip:152859

This part is about the sky. It's essentially just a lot of shots of the sky taken from a number of different walks I have done recently. I walk in the evening time, so the video is mainly of sunsets.

Music: 'Smoke & Mirrors' by RJD2

    I really like what you've done here.

    It's interesting (well, probably only to me) to juxtapose this clip with remyyy's recent beach video.

    vimeo.com/clip:153365

    It is fascinating to see how two talented filmmakers can take essentially the same subject (Nature) and create two totally different films with totally different moods.

    I believe this difference is most pronounced in your choices of soundtrack.

    Remyyy use of the natural sounds creates a tranquil, almost taoist piece. The beach just is and the viewer can simply take comfort in it and enjoy it for what it is.

    Your use of popular music rather than nature sounds instills in the viewer a sense of anticipation, that a story is being told and one must pay attention. I actually felt a difference in my pulse whilst watching the 2 videos.

    Cripes. I can't believe i used "whilst" in a sentence. Who do i think i am, Thomas Friggin' Hardy??
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    Thanks!

    Remyyy is a master at doing this (creating different moods and feelings with simple but effective subject matter). Like you say, his recent beach video is very relaxing, but he actually did a sunsets video recently too - and with that creates yet another mood

    Infact come to think of it, this video I've just made seems like a complete rip-off of Remyyy's!

    Sorry Remyyy (although actually I started making this several days ago, so it wasn't intentional).
  • FuzzyDave plus 2 years ago
    I would like the both of you to stop being so goddamned talented. I don't have the time or the talent to compete!

    Ya bastards.
  • Remyyy plus 2 years ago
    No sorry accepted Buck ! (and thanks guys, my face is almost red like a tomato) I mean It's just coincidence and it's even better. And could you stop taking about me like that,
    And FuNNydave, don't speak about talent ! Ya bastars toi meme !

    I love it ! First, it's one of my favorite song by RJD2, then, your pictures are great. We're sharing the same interest for this thing, I think and I like it too.
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Remy. You definitely have inspired me with your videos.

    I was thinking that there should be a nature project - shots of anything natural like rivers, lakes, sky, the sea etc where people can add their videos.

    In fact, I'll start one in the forums now!

    FuzzyDave, at least you know who Thomas Hardy is... Sweet vid Flashroy. If there could be really good background video, this would be it. You know, if this was going around in your head all day long, it would be just fine...

    Buck, you've gone all artistic on us.
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    I've just been enjoying my walks lately, and I thought I would share the beauty.

    FuzzyDave's original comment says it all. You guys (Buck and Remyyy) should do a collaboration. Great stuff!
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    I've started a "Nature" project in the forums that we can both add to, along with anyone else. Mainly intended for scenery etc:

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That was very fullfilling visually dude man! I love how it encompassed the whole day too! Little did you know though, I was the pilot in that jet. Its sad though, now it will be harder to spy on you, since my cover is blown.

    Great visuals, great music for, I give this 3 thumbs up!
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Dr.P

    I always had a sneaking suspicion that it was you flying over head!

    i REALLY REALLY like this! it does remind me of Remyyy's clips but i really like those, too. i think your use of popular music totally added to the effect. i love it!
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    Remyyy was definitely an inspiration. I like that on Vimeo though, that we can inspire eachother's creativity. In my mind, imitation is a high form of flattery!
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    Oh, and thank you for your kind comments :)

    Very nice clip Buck.

    BTW, Vimeo is NOT a competition. It is an exhibition. No wagering.
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    I couldn't have put it better myself. I don't think people should feel bad about copying ideas either. I prefer to think of it as being inspired by someone.

    Beautiful - you've caught some amazing sky there - some of the pictures look so surreal, like a painting! Even the thumbnail is beautiful!
