Roan Mountain

  • We just got back from an epic trip to Roan Mountain, Tennessee with our friends the Kanomatas. While there, I shot this nature short showcasing the beauty of that area.

    Here are a few behind the scenes photos from our time there. Photos below by Tom Kanomata.

    Matthew, Caleb and I, hiked all our equipment on a four mile trek up the Appalachian Trail. It was pretty tiring but the shots were worth it! :)

    Here I am with Caleb, grabbing the shot of the girls walking through the field.

    And now for the big question – is this a product of FCPX?

  • Richard Steffens

    Thanks so much everyone!

    @Zachary – Glad you liked it! **Unfortunately,** I did not edit this in FCPX! To be honest, I don’t have the money for it yet!! :-/ :P However I’m working on a video project for someone right now, so as soon as I get the money from that, you can be sure I’ll be purchasing it! ;)

    Wow… what an intro! Well I think the music very much suits the clip. I like how it flows with the transition of the scenes and the scenes; it just trends the emotions…=) Can’t wait for the next… Probably you could include a story or you could have the scenes come to a central idea that will serve as the message … that way the video’ll be longer hehe… =D Great work! =)

    Enjoyed the great video, Richard. Nice comp, good motion. Great capture of the local beauty. Inspiring. I think more people should look for something like that where we each live. Only wish we could capture it with the same artistic eye! I loved it, look forward to more!
