[sammys70]

I visited this park a few days ago.Cool to see it again on youtube.

[odewepe]

@sammys70 Thanks so much Sam, we love our park

[BeltlineBikeShop]

Were you using some sort of steady cam?

[odewepe]

I used a Glidecam 2000. It was so cold that day I could not feel my fingers....

[NextWaveG]

Very solid work.

[odewepe]

WOW. coming from a Pro like yourself that is the best thing you can tell me. I have a problem..On my XH A1 when you to to menu and click on signal setup. The (Playback STD) which is under time code is whiched off "its dark gray and not white" like the other options. How can I turn that back on?

[denmusvideo]

Hi Mitch, this is a beautiful video, I love the scenes & the variety of movement. The picture quality is really clear. I also enjoyed your choice in music. I'm going to check out more of your work, Thank you for that viewing & listening pleasure! Denis.

[odewepe]

Thanks Denis Cant wait to shoot my next video with the new Canon XH A 1......Everything was done with lower quality cameras. Love your work,,,WOW

[nicolefilms]

Hi Mitch! Great job!! LOVED it and loved the music you added to it!

I just saw the message you left on my nicolefilms site. I use the Sony HDR-XR500 and I use imovie 09. Love my mac...but it is getting a bit sluggish due to all the films I am up loading, so I may have to add another external hard drive. Perhaps we should do a project together! Keep up the good work!

Hey Nicole.. Thanks for the nice words. Go to my Facebook page Mitch Grooms and you will see me wearing a blue shirt. You will see the Artist I am going to shoot very soon. See what you think of him..I am very nervious because I will be doing it on my own...Would love to sit down with you and chat..

[chaga123]

I am an experienced editor with an FCP suite setup. Send me a message if you ever need an editor, I have some example footage that I shot myself if you're ever interested...

[odewepe]

I wish I had a Mac so I could use FCP but I have a PC and that is why I use Adobe Premiere Pro cs4..Love Dog Tale, great work..

[twinklestararun]

very gud work....def i wanna join u as i m frm atlanta....

do reply me....

[cjvideo]

You had some really good shots in there!  Keep working at CS4--Premiere is the easiest and most user friendly editing software I have ever used. I definitely prefer it to FCP, although Avid is awesome too.

[odewepe]

Thanks Casey

I have looked at your work too, great stuff you have..

[hueyproductions]

Sunrise in Piedmont is the best! What a great video.

[odewepe]

Thanks so much Huey

[movementdigital]

Great job! I also use a GL-1 but I spend too much time editing to really work it the way you did. You should post more videos like that. If you ever need help with editing let me know, you inspired me to brush up on my videography skills. Please check out my channel and let me know what you think. Maybe someday we could do a project together. I share your passion and its few and far between.

[odewepe]

Travis.. You have the talent and its mind blowing to me. I have know idea how you did you demo reel, that was amazing.You must use Final Cut, I use Adobe Permiere Pro cs4 and its a bugger... I would love to talk with you....... i am in the Decatur area..

[justjewell1228]

Hey Mitch, great video, you did a great job with that adobe. I use Final Cut so I know what you mean. Good Luck!!!!

[BlantonProductions]

Wow man, VERRRY nice video! i am from 3 1/2 hours south of you down in Valdosta, Georgia. i own 2 XL1 cameras, i do video production. weddings, commercials, etc.!! The GL1's and the XL1's can really get some GREAT footage, can't they???!!! I Really appreciate videos like this. I Noticed your last response to the last comment.... haha things we want to change in the videos, 98% of the time other people never even notice what we were thinking of changing! GREAT work man! keep it up man!! AWSOME!!!

[odewepe]

Jay..That was so nice for you to say those nice words. Video production is my all time passion. It looks like you have the same passion too. I would love to see your work..I just got Adobe Premiere Pro cs4 for editing and it is rough. Cant seem to get it just right. What do you use? Are you on Facebook?

[myowntyme]

Wow this is a really nice video, looking at this makes you forget for a few minutes the ugliness of the crime that happens in Atlanta

[odewepe]

Gina

Thanks so much for the nice words, some things I wanted to change but I left it just the way it is...You are much appreciated..

[playray]

Yes it does look nice

[AbsurdBrane]

This video is wonderfully expressive of the park. You've done a masterful job of catching a speck of its essence. I also love to photograph Piedmont Park at dawn, It is an amazing opportunity for photographers with the fog that is often there in the valley, especially the lower field. I love how the fog will condense on spider webs in the morning and leave fields of seeming jewels in the water droplets in intricate patterns in the flower beds. Thanks for a 5/5 video showing a jewel of Atlanta.

[odewepe]

Thanks so much AbsurdBrane, I knew it was a full moon and that moon was calling me to get out of bed to do this simple project..It was freezing that morning and I was not dressed for it. I appreciate your nice words. How did you come across my video?

[Reelworld2009]

Nice work..where did u get the music from?

[odewepe]

Thanks for the nice words, its from the soundtrack Meet Joe Black..

[kearlstig1961]

That was very nice. Good work!

[theCrazyReddshow]

Wow! Your GL looks great. I know other people that have that camera and it looks nothing like yours. Great Job!

[odewepe]

Thanks Redshow

[stateofchoice]

Your video shows our park as being so peaceful and majestic. Thank you for doing this.

[odewepe]

Thanks so much stateofchoice. I guess we are off the subject of those crazy Hate God People?

[Katlanta1]

Mitch I appalud you! This was a beautiful piece. so artistic, moving and powerful. I am a writer transitioning into video production (again) and you are quite inspirational. Perhaps we may run into each other. I live in Cobb County. Continued blessings and productivity!

Kim

[odewepe]

Hey Kim

Thanks so much for the nice words. I had almost no time to make this video, no second chances on the shots or seens. I was also in the middle between my old edit software to the not known at the time new edit software.. I hope we do cross paths soon..

[80redsail]

Nice scenics. What kind of steadi-cam did you use?

[odewepe]

Hey 80redsail..I use a Glidecam 2000 Pro.You can go here on YouTube and put that into your search. Its very hard to use and very expensive for what you get. There is actually classes you can take to learn more on how to use it, that also cost tons of money. I have not mastered it yet but finally I got a heavy camera which you will need to stabliize it.. The cost for the Glidecam is 700 bucks..Thanks for the nice words..

[davidlashun]

Im a recording artist here from Chicago I think your work is great your transistions are graceful

[odewepe]

Thanks so much Davis, I needed that. I looked at your video "Go". That is freaking incredible. Did you write that?

[davidlashun]

Thank You! Yes I did write it... I was in a bad relationship. and put my energy into something creative instead of crying. Id like very much to work with you in the future,Im a struggling artist so I couldnt pay you yet.

[odewepe]

Thanks David..I appreciate that

[passionatesinger1]

I had tears in my eyes as i was watching this piece of art unfold before my eyes. Alls I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You go man. The Lord is doing misterious things with you. He is unfolding the inner beauty that you did not know you possessed or exactly the gift He has given you. AWESOME

[odewepe]

I have lived here in Atlanta since 1983. I love my city and wanted to do my own tribute to our Park

[Silverkyat]

That was nice, what made you choose to do that piece?

[odewepe]

I am not sure, I have always love Piedmont park and its something we as people in Atlanta have and its just the most incredible thing. We almost lost the Park 15 years ago. They were going to put a highrise there. The music is the hard thing for me to add. Its got to touch my soul and if I dont get goose bumps, I will correct it until it does..
