Mohonk Chair Dance

I shot this on a porch at Mohonk Mountain House in new Paltz New York on a quiet and cold Sunday morning in December. This porch is one of my favorite places. It took me far longer than I expected to edit it (9 days and about 75 hours). I started in final cut but moved to after effects to do all the masks. By the end there were about a hundred masks and many more layers. I got really sick of it and I was going to leave it as a rough cut but then I shamed myself into finishing it (I had to skip swimming class this am to finish it). There may be mistakes but I am happy with it. At the very end I threw an Andrew Kramer videocopilot.com film magic pro cinema style on it. It makes it slightly darker but I love the mood it adds. I love filters.

I couldn't believe it when Kevin sent me this song because it fit the video perfectly. Good Game Kev!
