The Message

I found this letter in a watermelon on the beach and thought it would make a great narrative, intercut with generic Harinezumi views of the surrounding North Beach area.

I saw a video of New York once on Vimeo and I really liked the soundtrack: just a simple electric piano to accompany the images. Inspired by that I used my Technics upright and recorded some notes with Harinezumi.

To add the feel of yesteryear I added a hum-crackle sound effect thanks to the wonderful guys at Freesound.org (this one is called Dr Ni's Noise Defective Medium Wave).

All footage was shot on Harinezumi 2+++ on Vivid 1 -- no post production other than editing in Adobe Premiere.
