Adri van O Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi Geoff,great presentation, very nice pictures, perfectly showing the atmosphere around this river.I enjoyed it,Adri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I enjoyed it too Geoff. I think you did especially well with your "special effects" of the lightning storm. Would you care to share your techniques of getting and presenting the storm? As a side note - When I first viewed the opening view of the river and storm, I was thinking the location could have been in Wyoming, USA! The rest of the show of course proved otherwise. Are all the photos of the same river? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronwil Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 A most enjoyable sequence. I thought the imagery was excellent throughout. I wondered if some slower fades could have been used in parts as the selection of music was beautifully tranquil. Also I think I would have omitted the last slide with a street light.The scenery suggests either the Yorkshire or Derbyshire dales - the River Wharfe perhaps. Don't keep us in suspense Geoff.Ron [uK] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonemason Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks for your kind comments. The AV tells the story of a typical river from raindrop to the sea. The river itself is made up from images of several UK rivers, one of which is the river wharfe in yorkshire. The thunderstorm sequence was created from one image, which had varying degrees of brightness applied depending on the strength of the lightning (Lightning was generated in photoshop), and each time saved to a new image.Ron I did try slower fades, but felt that the sequence flowed better (sorry about the pun) with the fades as they are. In hindsight I tend to agree with you about the last slide, and if I revist the sequence may well change it.Hope this answers most questionsRegardsGeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks geoff. Just so you know, your message of the River, from droplet to ocean, did come through clearly upon first watching. I was just not sure whether you had made the story from a single river. Anyway, a well executed plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonemason Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi LumenLuxThanks again for your kind comments. If you would be interested I could send you the pictures which make up the storm sequence so you can have a better look at them.RegardsGeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I hope to take you up on that Geoff. Meanwhile I am back to ask for info on the music used. It is one of those "gonna drive me crazy" because it is familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
