Silent Winter

It's already been quite a winter here in the North Country! Today we are getting hit with 12-18" of fresh snow. Last Friday I managed to get out for a few hours to shoot some new winter stuff at Pt. Au Roche State park here in Upstate NY. It was an especially quiet afternoon. No wind. 20 degree temps and very still! It was a wonderful time, 3 hours flew by in no time at all. This is the short film I made with the footage I shot that day. I added all the dark corners in post, I know some try real hard to keep vignetting out, but to me it enhances these shorts. Focusing peoples attention on the main frame while breaking up the flat expanses, especially in these winter ones. I guess some like it, some don't. I have given up years ago trying to please everyone! So take it for what you will.

The music is by Bill Douglas. A tune called "Earth Prayer".

Enjoy and spring is coming...sometime!
