I’ve recorded a bunch of random clips in the past couple of weeks and thought I’d post them. In the video you can see one of the four cats running around here, Brownie (my dog) and a couple of views of trees and grass. The piece isn’t meant to be the absolute best piece on the planet. I’ve been taking sample footage and trying to figure out the best possible recording and rendering options for future projects.

The music in this video is “Pseudologia Fantastica” by Grapes. I could be wrong on that, it could be reverse. I have been unable to find a link to the music. I downloaded it from CCMixter several months ago. The audio became a bit overmodulated when I transcoded the file. Not sure why, sorry for the inconvenience. Also, I realize the song does not match the video in any way. As I said, I’ve just been playing around and I needed a song. It was handy, I liked it, so I used it.

I was wanting to get out of the house and away from the computer this afternoon. I grabbed my camera and tripod and walked around the yard looking for something interesting to photograph. I really wasn’t having much luck finding anything to photograph because everything sort of looked dull or I felt I had over photographed it already. So, I switched to video mode and recorded this.

After recording it I speed it up a bit. I didn’t want to go the complete 1:30 so I just done 1:09. I wanted to show the field coming to life a little quicker.

From the position I took this video I waited for probably 10 minutes. The sun was behind the clouds and just before the sun came out I started recording.

The music in this video is Surveying Park Hill Prairie by Gurdonark.
