13. The Rising Sun

I came across an old favorite CD of mine the other day. "Passion" by Peter Gabriel. It came out in 1989 and was used in Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ". It is a phenomenal piece of work, it hasn't aged at all and in some ways sounds even more relevant today.
I really wanted to use the title track "Passion" in a video piece. As I looked at a bunch of my footage I realized it would work best with my misty sunrise footage. Building most of it around the moment the sun pokes up over the distant horizon, and coupling it to the peak of the mournful vocal in the music. I sometimes base a whole video around one moment like this.
Some of this footage I used in "Sirens of the Mist" and at the beginning of "Autumn Glory" but I feel this version represents the best use of the misty dawn footage and certainly shows more of it, this one is long! Clocking in at close to 8 minutes. Some of this is shot with my Sony V1U and other parts were done with the EX1.
Please find what good you can in it and let me know what you think! I'm not allowing downloads as some have been taking my work and putting sections of it in their own videos on YouTube. Sorry a few have to ruin it for others.

Just one small criticism, on a personal level: maybe a flock of water birds, e.g. ducks, swans or geese, taking off or landing would have been "the icing on the cake" for me. However I'm sure that Martin Sorcese himself would certainly give your video a big nod of approval.
I know all the legalities about it, thank you. I feel good about using the music as I have stated it's not downloadable and it is a promotion for their music.
End of story.
Sorry to hear you've been having a spot of bother with the idiot on YouTube. You know I myself love to download the best videos from all sorts of people on Vimeo, so I can study the technique, shots, framing, colours, subject matter, editing, music choice and gear used, because I'm learning all the time and am well keen to learn more.
In fact, the 'Vimeo' folder on my Mac has over 200 clips in (I just checked) and honestly, I can tell you now, I really do watch them over and over studying everything about them, from good folks such as yourself (I have eight of yours), and Messrs. Bloom, Guilmette, Dempsey, Cavelli, Martin and MacGregor.
Vimeo is such a brilliant community for helping each other to learn to make better movies and I'm very grateful and happy to be a part of it.
Sad also that this beauty will be missing from my Frederick Folder. Actually, You warned us it was a long one, but I got so wrapped up in it, I couldn't believe it had come to the end. I had to check the time to see if you were fibbing!!
THAT'S HOW BLOODY GOOD IT WAS.
Constantly inspired,

joking! but great work as always!
Can I ask one question? I usually turn on HD, turn off scaling and watch it by zooming in to the video full screen on my Mac. Makes it almost as good as downloading. I could swear there was NO stuttering at all with this one. Did you prepare it for Vimeo differently this time?
Beautiful job! Thanks.
I don't think I did anything differently. Maybe it's because there isn't alot of panningt, tracking shots, etc. that would show the stuttering more? I may have boosted the audio compression a little too, not sure if that would've done it?
Maybe VIMEOs final compression is getting better too? They may have started to implement 30fps?
I'm not sure but thanks for the compliments!
The scene you shot looked amazing and the mist was something else. I thoroughly enjoyed this although it took a long time to stream for viewing. Dont know why?
Have a look at my last vid and let me know what you think.
Cheers Mike.
I've been a fan of your work for a while now! Some amazing stuff and it's nice to know you enjoy that soundtrack as well. I've heard from a few that they don't like the music in this at all, but to me, watching a sunrise like this is a religious experience so music with those overtones fits well. Your last video was wonderful! I really want to get a 5D camera but think I'll wait for the next generation that fixes some of the shortfalls of this ones video mode. Or get a Red Scarlet if that turns out to be what they say it is.

OUR COMPANY HAS PAID TO PREDRAG DJURDJIC A CERTAIN AMOUNT (A COIN!) TO DO
THE NARRATION EDITION BUT SO FAR WE GOT FROM HIM ONLY 19 MINUTES OF
FILM.
NOW THAT WE ARE READY WITH ALL MATERIAL TO GET EDITED, IT SEEMS ITS DIFFICULT FOR STUDIO 176 BELGRADE TO FINISH THE WORK. THE RULES KEEP CHANGING. STUDIO 176 CASHED OUR MONEY AND NOW DJURDJIC DO NOT WANT TO FINISH THE WORK.
AND OUR MONEY?
OUR COMPANY IS ESTABLISHED IN TWO CONTINENTS AND OUR LAST ENDEAVOUR CONCERNS THE SHOAH. WE ARE SERVING THE COMMUNITY PROMOTING NEW MUSIC, AVANT GARDE VISUAL ART AND NOW FILMS.
ITS SO DIFFICULT TO PUT IMAGES IN A NARRATION? ISN'T THIS THE JOB OF A FILM EDITOR? AN EDITOR NEEDS TO GATHER THE FILES HE WILL EDIT , RIGHT?
ITS A SHAME THAT ART CAN BE JEOPARDIZED AND HARMED BY PEOPLE THAT CASH THE MONEY AND THEN HIDE. GOOD NEWS : BELGRADE IS NOT TOO BIG.
WHAT SOLUTION FOR THIS CASE?
FOR DJURDJIC WILL BE " ITS EASIER TO KILL THAN TO SUE" : THAT'S WAS SAID RECALLING
SOMEBODY WHO MESSED UP HIS WORK. WE , RUBY FLOWER DONT USE WEAPONS TO SOLVE OUR ISSUES BUT WORDS.
THE PROCEDURE TO MAKE STUDIO 176 GET BACK TO REASON MUST BE DONE BY THE GROCKA POLICE IF DJURDJIC WON'T SURFACE AND GIVE BACK TO RUBY FLOWER RECORDS OUR MATERIAL, BELONGS AND MONEY. SO SAD THAT A PROFESSIONAL OF HIS CALIBER CANNOT BE REASONABLE AND MAKE A DEAL.
THE LAW OF COURSE WILL BE ONE ANSWER BUT ALSO THE COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE WORKS AND INVEST FOR THE ART.
THANKS
