Photo movies

I (re)started making picture movies from my photo projects. I publish them on my YouTube channel. It’s a kind of slide show, but I’m trying to make a bit more of it and augment pictures with some video I made during the photo shoots.

I started this before with low success but now decided to take this more systematically. Nobody seems to exhibit his photography products like this, at least not so systematically. The first new set I created during the Scotland trip. Created a separate playlist for this trip.

This weekend, I created a video using pictures I took during a business trip to New York City and upstate New York.

And I have a large backlog of similar trips. Having fun with this.

Kyoto’s temples and making videos

I am having more and more fun making YouTube videos. They are still rudimentary, but I am getting the hang of the intricacies of Finalcut Pro (an old-fashioned great program from Apple) and YouTube. For daily videos, you also have to keep it simple. A video like this can easily take an hour to edit, and that’s a bit too long.

Yesterday, I shared the following video on YouTube about our day in Kyoto. I was quite satisfied with the timelapse of climbing the hill at the Fushimi Inari temple complex.

Creating video with GoPro Hero

I have recently started using a GoPro Hero to shoot snap videos, that is, quick shots without the explicit intention of producing visually appealing images. I edit the footage with Finalcut Pro.

Now, I am capturing our trip through Japan with it and posting it on YouTube.

Van Neistat, Tom Sachs

I absolutely love the YouTube channel of Van Neistat, The Spirited Man. Van is the older brother of Casey Neistat, and the more philosophical of the two. Van Neistat is a filmmaker and tinkerer. He received his training from Tom Sachs, a second discovery. Tom Sachs has a great channel on Vimeo called Tom Sachs. Binge-worthy.
