Snow!

[TheAngelmj15]

Amazing!!! it's so peaceful and so nice to watch!!

[Lucyeths04]

Amazing video! It was so peaceful and the song suited it absolutely perfectly. How beautiful-Go Gaels!

[lonelykid09]

did you know that putting "no copyright infringement intended" doesn't make you except from the law? i find it disgusting that you are getting so much praise for slapping a song on your stupid little video that isn't your own song. i've reported you to the Youtube company and am in the process of contacting the copyright holders to make them aware of this. good luck with those lawsuits

[TheAngelmj15]

@lonelykid09@ wat's up with you? can't you just leave the snow alone???

[roadracer415]

The years I was there, never had this. Thanks for bringing some of us alums back. BTW - good video editing.

[skillzombie6]

Nice :D

i Hope i get accepted :D

[Jordan23ten]

i showed this to one of my friends at LMU and she posted it as her status cuz she was so jealous we had snow. GO GAELS!!! SMC once again beats LMU at something else

[btvaugh]

Thanks for a wonderful video. Our family lives in Moraga and we woke up to this exceptional scene. Your video will be a lovely reminder of that day, until the next snowfall in another 30 years!!

[BFFCBBBF2]

I LIVE THERE!!!

[robbiechey]

I live in Wyoming, but am a Walnut Creek girl. My brother works at your St. Marys. I was there on the 7th, and came back to snow. I love what you did. Wish you'd video Don Arquilla for me. I hardly ever get to see him. LOL

[DennysinSD]

Very nice...well done, Bryan.

Go Gaels!!!  -Denny '03

[72zamboni]

This was a great video. I wish I could have been there to see it for myself. Thank you for all the time to record, edit and put this presentation together for those of us who could not be there to participate in this wonderful event of nature. The ending was beautiful. Happy holidays to all.

[vlbbmorton]

Thank you for the incredible Christmas gift. I became homesick watching. Class of '84

[tdolan23]

Brian, this is a wonderful video. I hate to knock it at all, but the music selection? It's just that Bing went to that Jesuit institution to the north, "that which need not be named". I like his music, just not the association with our institution of HIGHER EDUCATION.

JK, well sort of, but being a Gael you know where I am coming from...

God is a GAEL! Class of '90

[fxlonergan]

Bryan - a beautiful video - thank you for bringing me back to SMC. Frank X. - Class of '91

[2ciella]

I just LOVE the guy walking in shorts and BAREFOOT !!! :)

This is such a great video . . . I have watched it many times since it was posted !! Really puts me in the "Spirit if the Holidays' . . . Thanks again . . . and thanks for your return message when I posted last week . . . Happy Holidays !!

[kjhayden15]

Bryan! This is so good it gave me chills. I am so impressed. I would love to ask a few questions one of these days on how you did it! ~kory

[debwong]

That is absolutely making the best of a rare snowfall in the Bay Area.

[cbg37]

bryan navarro! that is so pretty! i missed it, but i'm glad you captured it so beautifully :) (i am compelled, however, to submit your name to the bing crosby copyright peeps, lack of intentions or not. they'll be visiting, probably singing something, smoking a pipe.) have a great break, and see you in january! --cbg

[cbg37]

okay, for those with no sense of humor...jk on the copyright thing. obviously. c'mon. bryan's familiar with my sarcasm :)

[crpsaiyan]

I didn't know about this video until a staffer shared your YouTube link with me. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I'm so happy to hear that an SMC student created this. If this isn't passion towards film making or a love for the College itself, I don't know what is. This definitely your magnum opus. :)

[navarrobryan]

very kind words. thank you so much.

it very much is both of those, with a pinch of appreciation of nature.

thanks again for the comment

[AwesomeCohen]

so never happend when I went to SMC- pretty cool....

[navarrobryan]

we were very lucky to have it happen for us

[kimoballer]

keep up the amazing work bnav, your talent always puts me in awe, and perhaps more importantly, makes me smile. I feel privileged to have the chance to learn a thing or two from ya, I'm inspired to make my own work better and better.

[navarrobryan]

Thanks, Timbo.

glad we've had time together at smc. and guess what, it ain't over yet!

[luvnlaughs5]

That was great.  Well done. And thank you. :)

[navarrobryan]

thank you for the compliment!

[pazzo2008]

Wow! This never happened when I was in the Scholasticate in Assumption Hall. I love the video and the sound track is perfect!

[navarrobryan]

we were super fortunate to be there (and be awake, too!)

thanks for the comments!

[smcsball]

Love the video!

[navarrobryan]

[sportsmolly]

So glad you decided to do this instead of your thesis :)

[CALISTUNTS]

The soundtrack sucks!

[navarrobryan]

[lestalk1]

Brian, thank you for this beautiful video. It makes me happy as well. I live in Berkeley and I know it snowed up on the hills , but I sure didn't get to see this! It's fantastic!

[navarrobryan]

thank you for the comments! i'm glad you got a chance to see it (if only through a computer screen)

[LostSony93]

<3 <3

[navarrobryan]

:-)

[2ciella]

I was awake almost all night Sunday and live here in Moraga; but because SNOW does not make a sound, like rain, I never heard nor saw it !!! Went to bed about 4 AM and when I got awake my daughter had left a message that it had SNOWED! but, by then it had melted !!!

Thanks so much for making this video so we could ALL see it . . . guess, I should look out the window when I'm up late at night :) It's pretty incredible, beautiful, and Mt. Diablo looks so gorgeous still today ! Happy Holidays !!

[navarrobryan]

i'm sorry to hear you were asleep through the snow, but am glad you got to see it through this video!

Mt Diablo was unbelievable for those few days...

thanks for the comment!

[mager258987]

It snowed in the beginning of September here.

[suzy6491]

Bryan, a beautiful film! Its been years since the snow fell like this in the Bay Area.

[navarrobryan]

thanks momma scranton :)

[nosredna2]

Global warming!!!!

[danmartin06]

wow....thats a good amount of snow too. That's crazy to see. I always thought it got cold at SMC, but this is insane

[navarrobryan]

it was unreal how much stuck and most of it kept until the late afternoon!

[crossbones2005]

Aww, Bryan, this makes me happy. Excellent job!

By the way, you must have an amazing camera - the quality is amazing (especially for it being at night)!

[navarrobryan]

thanks steven!

I did use a GREAT cam:

Sony EX1 overcranked to achieve slow mo...

Sony EX1.

Shot it at 720res with a frame rate of 30p overcranked to 60fps

[tymbershade]

Hey! I grew up there! It hasn't snowed there sense 1976! I moved to Duluth, Mn. Unfortunately, when it snows here, all we hear is "Grandma got run over by a reigndeer"!

[bnavapolo]

we enjoyed every second of it!

[pungurl13]

as always, a beautiful campus! I wish I could've seen it! Thanks for the video! Made me nostalgic for my college days there!

[bnavapolo]

i'm glad I could bring a little of it to your computer screen!

[Riffleboy]

you did an amazing job and added the perfect music!

[bnavapolo]

thank you! i overheard someone singing it earlier and thought it was right on

[smcleadership]

This was beautifully filmed and edited and the absence of audio was artistically perfect....

Thanks. Go forth young man, and do more with your artistic talent.

[bnavapolo]

thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. And I'm inspired by your confidence!

[cristin202]
