I got tired after hopping around and running really fast through those giant blades of grass and our tiny itty bitty camcorders.

Where were you?

I was still frozen.

me too, let's be careful and not get stepped on okay.

hahah I LOVE LOVE LOVE laying on the grass. :-)

oh hey sup cuddle bug. you're cute. <3

this video loves you and wants to hug you. :-)

Psh Stephen, you should add yourself to that channel cause you're to cool for school!

Oh gosh the thought of that actually really scared me so I'm going out there to get it right now. who knows what kind of disasters could happen when that little guy jams up the lawn mower.

UPDATE:

I just went out there and I couldn't find it....great.

It was there yesterday when I was taking out the trash, but now it's gone....great...

Thank you doctor :-)

Aww thanks Buck. I think you're a vibrant person :-)


hee hee you're awesome.

yeah agreed. the parts that are uber sped up make it look really fake. :-) thanks os much golden touch farm :-)

the footage that wasn't obviously sped up or slowed down is what the normal speed is that I shot it at. I shot with a shutter of 1/4000 which is probably how it got that feel. No post effects other than slight colour correction and slight vignetting. :-)


the pixellated feel is probably from the shutter being so itty bitty. my camera went up to 1/8000 but there wasn't enough light.

^_^ o_O MEOWWWWWW!!!

hee hee

I used a pretty crappy small camera so I am okay about being careless with the lens. Also the panasonic gs320's lens is pretty far deep under the 16:9 hood thing so its harder to get to because the hood part blocks it...but of course there's bits of twigs and grass inside there now.

I know that when charlie does this he put a UV filter over his lens...that's probably the best bet for people who use the hv20 or hv30.

UV filters save the worlds from scratches!!! I even have a clear protection lens on my Z1U just cause...for safety sake only. :)

p.s.- great video!!!!

Thanks damion. Oh man yeah if i had a z1u i'd put an army in front of it to protect its lens.

hee hee thanks alex.

grass dance.

im high all the time.
haha

hee hee thanks Roger. I edit on Final Cut Pro. Nothing fancy dancy I just make lots of cuts and mess with speeds. :-)

Your words are kind and appreciated.

ha you are wonderful thanks Roger.

Thanks a lot William :-)

Thanks for the feedback Tim :-) I kind of haphazardly put this together a while ago and it was just for fun. Also that note is specifically directed towards someone which is why I left it in there, but agreed it does seem out of place. Thanks, take care!

Make sure you take a blanket with you.

haha...yeah the grass is pretty dead. I think i was more concerned with the way that patches of light hit it, rather than the grass itself. But (evidence of my other videos) I do shoot grass...a lot.


It's not a very expensive camera.....so it's easy to experiment with it and do random crap to it. I would never ever do this with my other cameras.

Aww marula you're fantastic :-)

Thanks so much Be Well :-) Have a great weekend.

Hahaha no. I filmed this about 4 months or so ago and my camera died when I made this:

vimeo.com/793130

THAT is what killed my cameras. haha

I know Charlie pretty awesome with his shots :-) Thanks Aturcios

I love green things and blue things. and romping around in the grass. hee hee take care pierre.

Seen my grasshopper Karen?

i'm gonna check it out right now.

Hee hee. I could lay on grass all day. It's so green and enchanting. (Well not the grass in this particular video, it's pretty dead and dry...haha)

You know what's funny. I've been shooting a lot of 16mm lately and whenever I am on film shoots that I DP for I always think, I wonder what Irina would do for this shot? Hee hee What have you been up to lately?

Karen, I am surprised you! :)
I spent on shootings the last one and a half months. Initially it was China, then Italy and Poland finally. All of it for three different movies. Frankly, I'm tired. But now I'm already in Moscow. I would be prepared to new shootings.
I see that you don't lose wasted time too.

Wow you are amazing to me. You are my hero. :-) I know that you are doing well because you are unbelievably talented! One day we shall work together!

Yes, yes!!! I want to work with you too!!! This is a great idea and great dream and a good plan!!!

No, thank you for taking the time to peep out this video. Thanks a lot Marzio :-) Have a fun filled weekend.

Thanks a lot Ricko!

Aw thanks Linda, that's very kind of you to say. :-) Take care!

true that!

Thanks so much John, that is very thoughtful of you to say. Agreed, there are incredible and amazing things on vimeo, far better than this silly little video. :-)

heehee you should! and upload it. Grass Scoots channel...hahaha...If I didn't already moderate fifty million channels I would make one. haha. I'll observe and if there at least 20 of these videos then I'll make a channel hahaa.


Psh I could watch your videos all day long.

Thanks a lot rookie :-)

Thanks! I also love ice blocking down giant hills! What fun it is to be a child again.

Aw thanks a lot Ian. :-)

Not at all - too late now, but looking forward to watching more of your work.

ok, just one more then... :)

Thanks a lot Aaron.

I read you were from NorCal...where in NorCal are you?

I go to grad school in SF.

I'm in Napa Valley. I go to SF every once in a while. Your videos kick butt.

Wow that's freakishly close to me...I live in fairfield, so you are like 15 minutes or something away from me.

Groovy, we should totally collab. Do you know where St. Helena is located?

Yeah that's like 45 minutes from me. Is that where you are at?

Yeah we should totally collab one day. What kind of stuff are you working on these days?

Aww thanks. That means a lot from you, you're pretty amazing.

oh nooooo !!! you are amazing :) honestly, i wish i had your talent for cinematography !

Psh if you move out west here I'll have to take a long drive to visit you to work on something.

yay !!!! we definately have to do that !!!!! that would be soooo cool ! ..that is, IF i get that scholarship... so don't give me anything more to look forward to, otherwise i'll be even more disappointed if i don't get it....

Psh you better get it or else I'll go over there and kick someone in the throat. You deserve it so badly.....! Make sure to keep me updated either way.

*crossing my fingers*

awww.... that would be so sweet of you, karen :) BUT: looks like i'm in the final ten !!!!!!! yay, i'm so excited and can't really believe it right now (i think will only believe it, when i actually see my name on the voting page)

Voting starts next Tuesday, i'll keep you updated !
