Well..... sort of.

I've just posted two videos I made back in the 90's on YouTube. Simple video shots of the Maine countryside set to "new age" music. Good to relax to. I hope you like 'em.

First one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H6l6XFm47o)
the other one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYJR_8imItc)

Oh, that was wonderful! Such bliss is shown in your vidoes and with lovely musical arrangements that fit them so well too. Your videos demonstarte very good camera control. I'm wondering about the picture clarity, though. What made it blurry? Detail in the shot of the horses was difficult for me to make out. Overall, that is very nice work, and something I'll definitely see again for relaxation!

I lived in Massachussetts until the summer of my 12TH year. I was especially fond of seeing your Maine video in the light of memories of nature I remember from when I was there.

Thank you so much, FDRfollower. It is a real treat!

Hah!

The answer to the trivia question is "They're Coming to Take Me Away," by (if I recall correctly) Napoleon XIV. *flex*

@Haus :rolling: Smart cookie! he he he. Yes, its by Napoleon the 14th, just played backwards. So, now you see me in all my glory!! (sort of) At least I had some hair back then. ;)

@Jennifer :confused: Horses? Nobody owned horses near where I used to live. There's some haystacks in one of the shots. Is that it? Its blurry because I was borrowing a camcorder from the school, the VHS tape I used was not of the best quality, when you record to another medium theres a certain amount of degradation that occurs, and as the tape ages the quality goes down significantly and they were made back in 1994. Thats the sad reality of analog recording material. But, in a sense, for those kind of shots, sharpness wasn't really neccessary. Thats why I thought they had a "Impressionistic" style. For this, it worked out OK.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm glad you liked them.

FDRfollower, what I thought were horses was in the first video, 5:33 through about 5:58 on the timer. It was too blurry for me to really tell, that's why I mentioned it, but you said there were no horses, so that's not what that is in the background just behind the road.
