A storm is coming...let's go outside and play!

Update as of Sunday January 27 (one week later):
I sit in the dark, in my room, and I watch this...to a different soundtrack...and it makes so much sense to me; so much sense as I feel the trees hit my window and the thundering sounds of giant raindrops banging my window, asking to get let in.

Good night moon. Good night sun. Good night dear sullen clouds.

    I love the way you dont "chase" the kite about with the camera. This is just great Karen.
  • Haha..oh believe me..I tried....but it was a headache to do..and the winds were so had..but it was more of a headache to watch when I tried to edit. Its more beautiful to just let it be.


    Let's all go fly kites!

    That was a pleasure to watch! Very calming....
  • I love kites.

    we should all fly kites
    always!

    It's funny that it is calming because in the distance, i could see dark gray clouds and furious rains.

    What kind of camera do you use? I love your video and music choice?
  • I go between a DVX100A and a Panasonic PV-GS320. I've come to realize it doesn't matter so much what camera you use, but what images you can capture and how good you are at color correction..haha. Thank you for your kind words Ryan.

    Oh this is beautiful.
    I love the kite, did you make it?
  • Aww thank you. Unfortunately I did not make the kite. I feel like it's way too big of an artistic task for me to handle. I would be able to make simple diamond shaped kites haah.

    Thank you for watching this :-)

  • beautiful! whats the music? if you dont mind me asking.
  • My friend from undergrad, Peter Brant, has a band called Ben and Bruno. Sometimes it's just him, and sometimes it's the Band as well. It's really beautiful tunes. He's from Indiana. You should check them out on g-rad.org/benandbruno/
