Blue Moon - short video

[CasablancaExpert]

Here's a very short 30-second video with our Blue Moon last evening...captured on my Canon XH-A1.

Loved the fog moving over the moon - I imported the HD file into my Casablanca S-3000 into a 1440x1080 project, I used Control Color with Blue up at 80% to give that blue tint (had to make it _look_ like a Blue Moon) and then ran the 60-second scene through Twixtor Slow Motion at 200% to speed up the moving clouds. Added black to the end with a 1-second crossfade and a short title using Through Fading Pages.

Regards,
Chet

I like footage like this...

I have done several projects like this. Unfortunately, over the past 12 years, they were done with DSR 500, DSR 300 or 150 and thus not in HD. I personally, like when there is some object in the foreground to give a field of depth, like a tree, or if shooting from a low angle a bush, flower -- something inanimate that won't distract but adds to the image and balance of composition...

I did a low, on the horizon, red full moon a while back with a rising fog up through the bare trees. Used Twixter too, adding audio to final Twixter rendering. Absolutely eerie. I enjoy watching stuff like this. Great for backdrops. But the lack of HD is a killer... limited use. Even for a green screen backdrop...

Looks great Chet!

I enjoy shooting nature too.
