  • Wow! That was beautiful!! The shots looked very great and it really portrayed the country feel well!

  • I hope someday,Richard! Me and my family really enjoyed all of your videos!..God bless.:)

  • Hey Richard,
    I loved the video. it was awesome!
    But I have a question. how come I can’t my videos to come out that great?
    And I have an hvx200a HD p2 camcorder.
    Oh, and did you use FCP?

  • Hey
    love it! That is great depth of field! VERY nice!

  • Thanks everyone! Glad you liked it!

    @Keith – Yes! I really hope some day you will be able to do so! Glad you family has enjoyed my films! :)

    @Gerrod – Glad you liked it! I would recommend purchasing a HDSLR such as the Canon 60D, 5Dmk2, etc. Their large sensors enable you to achieve very shallow depth of field, and the beautiful, crisp film look. :) Yes, you’re right Gerrod, I do edit in Final Cut Pro.

  • take care always, Richard! God bless!!

  • Hi Richard! How are you? Hope you’re doing great…
    ;) Take care always

  • Hi Keith! Yes! I’m doing great! How about you? It’s Sabbath afternoon here in America. I’m so glad for Sabbath to finally be here! :)

  • Hey, Richard, great shots, and comp. The macro on the bugs was perfect! Outstanding work on that one, especially. The rest also looks crisp, with great contrast, I really enjoy your post-production on those, polished but not overly dramatic. Nice. And as always your scenes work great to give that feel, it’s like we’re there, too! Looking forward to your next posts.

  • Thanks Elwyn! So glad you liked it. It’s also great to here what you think of the post-production color grading. Sometimes it tough to decide whether you’ve over or under graded, so it’s great to hear your thoughts on that! ;) God Bless!

  • lI think my favorite part were the transitions second favorite was the clarity of the shots I mean you can see our creator’s hand and his Love!! Keep using your talent for his glory.

    Through such mediums he may give them the most important lessons concerning the Creator, by opening before them the great book of nature, where the love of God is expressed in every tree and flower and blade of grass. He may impress upon their minds the fact that if God cares so much for the trees and flowers, He will care much more for the creatures formed in His image. He may lead them early to understand that God wants children to be lovely, not with artificial adornment, but with beauty of character, the charms of kindness and affection, which will make their hearts bound with joy and happiness.
