Excerpts from a Wondrous Storm, July 2015 from jaihn on Vimeo.
. . .
I filmed for hours. Somehow, when the battery conked out, I lost almost an hour of the most intense Storm I've ever experienced.
And suddenly it was Dawn, and the Storm had passed, and there was no record of the most astonishing Light show, completely lighting up the garden, over and over and over, and O O O those sounds. A memory, nevertobeseenagain.
Still, once I got over the horrible disappointment of not having the greatest video ever to create with, I made Peace with what was in the camera, and then I made this little vid to share.
It's kinda nice; a minute of Wildness. It may give some indication of the Power of that which was filmed and not-filmed, when I say the flashes in the vid seemed awful tame when I first saw them, after experiencing the intense hour which followed them.
Maybe one day I will be able to film another Wondrous Storm, overhead, and to show you something of that Beauty-full intensity.
So. In other news. This is a post about choices, really. Not only the greatest Storm Video Ever slipped away from my imaginings before I could land it, but also, the glorious sound track which I was aiming to rustle up for another vid.
. . .
Garageband has me beat. After a couple of days working to find my way, for the first time, through the crazy array of possibilities, I lost the will to persevere, for the moment. Sometimes 'enough' is the kindest word.
One fine day - maybe after a Good Storm, eh? - I may share a soundtrack which I am pleased about. Right now, I have some clips which sound like something in TopCat's dustbin.
With images, I instinctively make copies before I mess about.... with sounds, I forgot. So the recordings of me making sweet snippets of music are mostly in the hmmmm zone now. And excessive ???'s between them + me + software + sweet postable sounds.
Another time, maybe... with some help, I think. Too much to learn, in a short time, for a solo project.
I do really like the idea of creating soundtracks... so perhaps, perhaps.
Now. The next nearly-ran. I have not quite a Million, but Quite A Few vidsnips from the Beauty-Full Garden to share this month:
...
and that's not all of them.
So again, along with all the aforementioned - somewhat of a creative overwhelm situation arose. I figured just now that I could simply show you this pic for now, and you'll get the idea. An idea. Some idea. Some kind of glimpse.
And maybe I'll get to editing and showing you something of the actual vids before long too. "Before long" is the kind of deadline I can work with these days. Kinda Bendy. Not too Punitive.
. . .
Here's another glimpse of the nearly-ran creativities:
. . .
I guess it's a fine predicament, to have So Much Beauty going on.
Sometimes leaving the big ideas in the idea-zone a while longer feels Wise.
So. Now . . .
The almost analogue-feeling thing, of simply showing some pics of this and that from my month, and from the Lovely Garden.
With Love, for you to enjoy.
