A haunting album of personal lyrics and captivating sounds. After working closely with the recording artist for a few years, I can honestly say that he is the most talented person I have ever met. A renowned freelance and professional painter, sculptor, and musician. Caesar Kellogg has even been so kind as to appear in two of our previous videos, and shows interest in becoming a regular face in our presentations. We cannot thank him enough for his contributions, and for allowing us to use his music for our videos.

At this time, the recording is not available for purchase through any other outlet. We are always looking for up-and-coming musicians to expose in our videos.

About the video; I prefer to aerate as opposed to verticutting, for the simple fact that aerating really gives the seed a place to go. Personally, I have never used a verticutter that did little more that scratch the surface. The compost covers the seed, and provides much needed nutrients throughout the next growing season. The hay, or straw, helps to reduce erosion and provides a bit of shelter for the germinating seed as it develops. Three cameras were used in photographing this video. A Sony HandyCam was used for the moving video scenes. A Kodak Easy Share DX 7590 digital camera was used for the overhead still images once a day, for almost two weeks as the new grass pushed up through the straw. Finally, a Nikon Cool Pix 8700 digital was used for all of the time lapse shots, including several thousand pictures of grass growing that make up the high speed time lapse scenes. The video was edited using Ulead Video Studio 11 available from Corel Software. Thank you for watching, and as always, Enjoy!

The area shown had recently been graded to compensate for drainage, resulting in the need for renovation. Some grass was killed in the grading process. Thanks for watching. __________________________________________________

LifesEyesFilms ::: Favorites  2007-11-24 16:12:21 We used three different types of cameras. The primary video camera was a Sony Handycam. Those highdef cams are pretty darn cool! Takes up lot's of room in the ole hard drive though. Thanks for the comment. And thanks for stopping by! __________________________________________________
