Erik here with a quick little weekend video challenge for y’all. In the spirit of Chase’s 60 Second Portraits, we’ve been toying with AND wanna see some of YOUR… 60 Second Landscapes.
So here’s a challenge from us to you: Grab your video-capable capturing device and hit the streets/mountains/beaches/what-have-you’s and roll a quick one minute on the best landscape you can find. Perhaps shoot a bunch and then select your favorite. Then, post your results to YouTube with a “Chase Jarvis Weekend Challenge” tag and post a link in the comments section of this post so we can see ‘em and share ’em. If you feel like following some rules, we’ve got a few guidelines to follow:
- Keep your landscapes to 60 seconds (obviously).
- No cuts. Keep it to one shot.
- No timelapses, just a straight up realtime view of the world in front of you.
- Include music if you want, but we dig hearing the ambient sounds of the view.
That’s it. Short and simple, but sorta beautiful. Our take is that this is easy and fresh – but we want to see your take. I’ll see if I can shake Chase down for some gifts if some cool videos are posted. Here’s my entry:
Now you go and make some stuff. Have a great weekend.
I love the movement to the left in this scene, and then the nice contrast of the timer on the bottom moving right. Well done. Ha
Du and there i was going to take my video and actually move it from one side to the other to do a pano. Anyway moving right along, cool idea, have the weekend to come up with something
This should be interesting. I get some new audio equipment today from the UPS man and I have a free weekend for once. Now, I know what I’m doing.
The ambient sounds definitely impact this scene. Diggin’ it.
Nice! Is that 99 I hear? Love the symmetry between the smoke/steam from the West Seattle steel mill and the ferry.
