Video: Idiosyncrasies - A Visual Showcase

From the description:

In a world of exponential pace, the smaller entities of life can get overlooked. Simple things are overshadowed by modern ingenuity, and we almost never slow down to observe our world's infinitely small yet undeniably significant facets. 

While I do not posses the equipment to accurately view the Earth's most minuscule creations, I do have a camera and the ability to capture a range of visuals around the island I call home.

As evidenced by my near-barren YouTube channel (and, for the record, I am not physically in any of those uploads), I rarely create videos. It's not that I don't like to; on the contrary, they're kinda fun to do every now and again. But they take a looong time. Recording, compiling, cutting, editing, rendering, exporting, encoding -- it's a consuming process, and one that requires a lot of time and a lot of patience. I admire the frequent YouTube content producers who are able to upload sometimes several videos a week! I certainly couldn't reach that quota! 

Anyway, with time, I was able to create something visual for both YouTube and this website. Shot and edited over a period of a week, it took a bit longer to produce than it probably should have, but I wasn't in a rush. Once I had the footage, I edited and pieced it together using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and fixed any wonky video with Adobe After Effects CS5 (for example, motion tracking for overly-shaky imagery). Of course, it's not perfect, and there are some instances of erratic footage here and there*. And yes, it does end more abruptly than I'd like, but it's something, and will hopefully make my YouTube channel just a little less barren. 

Leave a comment either here or on the video's page telling me what you think! 

Oh, and the music is "Battlestar Sonatica" by Bear McCreary. You can find it on the soundtrack for Battlestar Galactica: Season 3! 

*Although I used a tripod for most of the shots, my shaky hand can sometimes take command.
