Clouds in black & white

I love timelapsed cloudscapes but I do prefer close-ups (with no visible landscape). That way, they really shine. Clouds are so dreamy and beautiful speeded up.

I also enjoy 'dressing them up' a bit. This was done in MBL. I did a similar cloudscape movie 4 months ago: vimeo.com/863409 graded in Sony Vegas and without an adapter - not that the adapter does much to clouds anyway.

There's about 45-60 minutes of cumulus cloud footage compressed into this clip.

why does you preffers sony vegas instead adobe premiere for editing AVCHD files from HG-10 ?

(sorry my horrible english)

[RicoBergholdtHansen]

Sony Vegas supported AVCHD files before Adobe did. Sony Vegas was also cheaper than Adobe Premiere and I really like to work with Sony Vegas.
